House Republicans Thought They Were Getting The Clintons, Instead They Created A Nightmare For Trump
When former President Bill Clinton agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee, it set a new precedent that is going to be a future nightmare for Trump.
House Republicans did something very shortsighted and stupid.
House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer (R-KY) announced that the Clintons would testify about their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, “Once it became clear that we would hold them in contempt, the Clintons completely caved and will appear for transcribed, filmed depositions this month.”

The Clintons say that they have nothing to hide, and even demanded public hearings, which Comer responded to by telling CNN, “If they still want some more oversight, then I think the members of my committee would love to have them in for a public hearing, so we’re fine with that, but the issue here is this original subpoena, and the contempt was on the deposition. So if they get through the depositions and they still want a public hearing, we’ll try to do something.”
Donald Trump had a surprising reaction when he was asked about the Clintons testifying, “I think it’s a shame. I always liked him.” Trump said about Hillary Clinton, “She’s a very capable woman, and added, I hate to see it in many ways.”
The reason why Trump doesn’t like the idea of the Clintons testifying is that it sets a precedent that is almost certainly going to come back to haunt Trump later.
