House Oversight Chairman James Comer just dropped the hammer: Bill Clinton is ordered to sit for a closed-door deposition on December 17, followed by Hillary Clinton on December 18, as part of the committee’s relentless probe into Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network and the federal government’s decades of failures. After months of stonewalling from the Clintons’ lawyers—who tried every trick to dodge in-person testimony—Comer made it crystal clear that half-measures won’t cut it anymore. This isn’t optional; it’s a subpoena with teeth, and Comer has already signaled he’s ready to hold them in contempt or even pursue arrest if they defy Congress. The American people deserve to hear directly from the couple who flew on Epstein’s jet dozens of times, partied at his mansions, and somehow always claimed they “knew nothing” while the bodies piled up.

Meanwhile, Epstein’s convicted partner-in-crime Ghislaine Maxwell—still rotting in federal prison for recruiting and grooming underage girls—continues to refuse full cooperation with the congressional investigation. Subpoenaed back in July for her own deposition, Maxwell’s lawyers have played every card: demanding immunity, clemency, or special treatment before she’ll utter a word that might expose the full client list. She knows where the skeletons are buried, who got the “massages,” and which powerful men were compromised—yet she’s hiding behind prison walls while the survivors wait for justice. Her silence screams louder than any testimony ever could.

And right on cue, Speaker Mike Johnson steps up to run cover for the Deep State, claiming the full, unredacted Epstein files simply “can’t” be released because they contain explosive intelligence-agency material tied to “national security.” Translation: the CIA, Mossad, or whoever was running Epstein as a honey-trap asset doesn’t want the world seeing the real blackmail operation that ensnared half of Washington and beyond. When “national security” is the shield protecting child traffickers and their elite clients, you know the swamp is deeper and darker than anyone imagined—and the only reason they’re fighting this hard is because the truth would burn the whole corrupt system to the ground.
