MAJOR DEVELOPMENT: The Clintons Referred to the DOJ After Refusing Epstein Testimony

MAJOR DEVELOPMENT: The Clintons Referred to the DOJ After Refusing Epstein Testimony.

The pressure campaign surrounding the Epstein files just hit a whole new level.

Bill and Hillary Clinton have now been officially referred to the Department of Justice for potential arrest after they refused to sit for their scheduled depositions before the House Oversight Committee. Their October testimony was delayed over “scheduling conflicts,” and they’ve since continued to stonewall investigators demanding answers about their long-documented relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Lawmakers say the refusal is unacceptable — and that no one gets to duck a lawful subpoena, especially not two of the most politically connected figures in modern history.

The referral is now in DOJ hands, and if they choose to act, this could become one of the biggest accountability fights Washington has seen in decades.

Democrats opened Pandora’s box with the Epstein files.

Now the fallout is landing squarely on their own icons.

Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) has managed to tick off half her own party, sparking a House vote Monday night to rebuke Rep. Chuy García (D-IL) for engineering a glide path for his chief of staff to take his seat.Gluesenkamp Perez is blasting García for what she calls “election subversion,” a charge that’s infuriated Democrats who say she’s torpedoing party unity at the worst possible time.

One House Democrat griped to Axios that “people were extremely frustrated last week” when Gluesenkamp Perez forced the vote just as the House cleared a government funding bill most Democrats detested.

A senior Democrat piled on, telling Axios lawmakers are “very pissed” the flap is creating fresh infighting right before an expected vote on releasing the Epstein files.

Leadership plans to smother her resolution with a motion to table, lawmakers said. The two-page measure scolds García for dropping his reelection bid right before Illinois’ filing deadline, clearing the field for his chief of staff, Patty García, who is now the lone candidate on the primary ballot.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said he “strongly” backs García and dismissed Gluesenkamp Perez’s move as a “so-called motion of disapproval.”

“Representative García’s actions are beneath the dignity of his office and incompatible with the spirit of the United States Constitution,” the resolution declares.

García’s fellow Illinois colleague, Jan Schakowsky, erupted in support for her longtime pal after Gluesenkamp Perez filed the resolution, screeching on the House floor.

García insists he intended to run again but bowed out only after his doctor and wife urged him to put his health and family first.

His office rushed talking points to colleagues on Monday, insisting he “followed all requirements and deadlines under Illinois law” and warning that the vote “creates distraction and divisiveness among Democrats.”
