Comer says he'll try to interrogate Clintons about Russiagate in addition to Epstein probe

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., revealed he is going to try striking an agreement with attorneys for Bill and Hillary Clinton to cover the Russia collusion probe under the subpoenas he has issued related to the committee's investigation of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Comer said he is eager to press the Clintons about the origins of the probe in light of the recent intelligence released by Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence. 

According to the documents that Gabbard released, Hillary Clinton, President Trump's 2016 opponent, and members of the Obama administration knowingly pushed the Russia collusion narrative and the now-debunked Christopher Steele dossier.

"I would love to ask, I would honestly want to ask more questions about the Russia hoax activity that the Clintons were involved in. But I'm sure, as you know, John, when we're negotiating with their attorneys, they're going to try to negotiate to where the only questions that their clients will have to answer will be those pertaining to Epstein Island and you know, that again, is what the majority of Americans are concerned about," Comer said on the Just the News Not Noise TV program.

"But you and I, who have been saying for many years now that this whole Russia hoax was manufactured by the Clinton political organization, we would like to ask a lot of questions about that, so we'll try to get that in the deal, but I'm sure at the end of the day, the questions will be limited to Epstein," he added.

Last week, Comer issued deposition subpoenas to Bill and Hillary Clinton to provide documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. He also subpoenaed six former attorneys general and two former FBI directors.
