The House Oversight Committee voted on Wednesday to hold former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with subpoenas and testify in-person in an inquiry into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

According to the committee, the Clintons were offered several dates to testify regarding the crimes perpetrated by Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, but repeatedly failed to make an appearance.
