House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer announced a markup on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, to consider two resolutions and accompanying reports recommending to the U.S. House of Representatives that former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton be found in contempt of Congress for defying lawful subpoenas.

“Bipartisan subpoenas issued to the Clintons are not suggestions. They are legally required to appear before the House Oversight Committee, yet they have defiantly delayed and denied their legal obligations. The Clintons are not above the law, and the House Oversight Committee will move to hold them in contempt of Congress. As Ranking Member Garcia has stated, ‘defying a congressional subpoena is highly illegal’ and ‘no one is above the law.’ If Democrats refuse to hold the Clintons accountable, they will expose themselves as hypocrites,” said Chairman Comer.

DATE: Wednesday, January 21, 2026

TIME: 10:00a.m. ET

LOCATION: HVC-210, U.S. Capitol Visitors Center
