Recommending that the House of Representatives find William J. Clinton and Hillary R. Clinton in contempt of Congress for refusal to comply with a subpoena duly issued by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This resolution recommends that the House of Representatives find former President William J. Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton in contempt of Congress for allegedly refusing to comply with a subpoena issued by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. If approved, the resolution would authorize fines of $5,000 per day against each of them for continued non-compliance with the subpoena after the resolution's approval. The resolution also directs the Speaker of the House to take appropriate action to enforce both the subpoena and the resolution itself. The bill does not specify what documents or testimony the subpoena requires or the underlying subject matter of the investigation, and there is no specific timeline mentioned for compliance beyond the daily fine structure.
