Clintons Stunned After Criminal Charges
For the first time, Congress is openly flirting with the prospect of
criminal charges against two of the most powerful figures in
modern American politics at the exact same moment.
The committee’s votes, backed not only by Republicans but a
notable bloc of Democrats, shattered the old assumption that the
Clintons were untouchable in Washington’s most dangerous arena:
subpoena power and criminal referral.
Their refusal to testify, wrapped in accusations of
“weaponizing Congress,” has only deepened the standoff.
Now the battle shifts to the full House and then,
potentially, to federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C.,
who would decide whether to seek jail time or a six‑figure fine.
Supporters see a reckless political spectacle;
critics say this is long‑overdue accountability in the Epstein saga.
Either way, the Clintons are no longer just defending a legacy —
they are fighting to keep the justice system from turning directly on them.
