On Wednesday, Washington lawmakers moved one step closer to finding the Clintons in contempt of Congress.
The House Oversight and Judicial Reform Committee voted to recommend finding the couple guilty of failing to comply with subpoenas to testify in the congressional investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring.
Nine Democrats voted with Republicans to recommend holding former President Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress.
Three Democrats voted to recommend holding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt.
The decision comes after months of back and forth between the panel and the Clinton’s legal team.
The former president had offered to sitdown with House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer of Kentucky in New York.
However, Comer rejected the offer, which he said did not permit audio or video of the interaction.
The parties also squabbled over to what extent a formal transcript would be permitted.
