Jeffries urged opposition to contempt recommendation for the Clintons
Jeffries urged opposition to contempt recommendation for the Clintons
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries urged opposition to a contempt recommendation for Bill and Hillary Clinton before the House Oversight panel ultimately voted to send the measures to the floor Wednesday, according to two people granted anonymity to discuss the whipping efforts.
Nine Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure to hold former President Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress for defying a congressional subpoena over Jeffrey Epstein. Three Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
A spokesperson for Jeffries pointed to earlier remarks from the minority leader in which he suggested the Justice Department should instead be held in contempt for failing to hand over the Epstein documents by their December deadline.
The spokesperson declined to provide further comment.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) spoke with Democrats on the Oversight panel this morning at the behest of the minority leader, according to one of the two people.

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.
