Republicans are threatening to hold former US President Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress for failing to testify about his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The House Oversight Committee had subpoenaed Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to testify about their connections to Epstein. The Clintons' lawyers argued that the subpoenas were 'unenforceable' and that they had already provided the 'limited information' they had about Epstein. Committee Chairman James Comer stated that he would begin contempt proceedings against Bill Clinton and potentially against Hillary Clinton if she does not comply with the subpoena. The controversy surrounds the Clintons' past interactions with Epstein, including Bill Clinton's multiple flights on Epstein's private plane.

US President Donald Trump was caught on camera giving a middle finger and cursing at a heckler during a visit to a Ford F-150 factory in Detroit, Michigan.
