Looks like the tides are turning on the Clinton family.
In a rare moment of agreement with conservative calls for accountability, television host Jon Stewart said this week that former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should comply with congressional subpoenas related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Stewart made the comments during his podcast after being asked whether the Clintons should appear before Congress. Both declined to testify after being subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee, raising renewed questions about political accountability and equal treatment under the law.
Stewart acknowledged frustrations with the federal government’s handling of Epstein-related records but argued that ignoring lawful subpoenas only deepens public distrust. He said compliance with congressional investigations should apply to everyone, regardless of political status or influence.
He also noted that Americans have waited years for transparency surrounding the Epstein case and that continued delays only prolong uncertainty for the victims involved. According to Stewart, the public deserves clear answers, and the legal process should move forward without favoritism.
The Clintons did not issue a public response to the subpoenas.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer confirmed that the committee is reviewing possible consequences for individuals who refuse to comply with congressional orders. Comer pointed out that other high-ranking officials have previously appeared before the committee under similar circumstances.
Attorneys representing the Clintons dismissed the subpoenas, claiming their clients have already provided what limited information they possess. They also accused lawmakers of politicizing the investigation rather than focusing on justice for victims.
At the same time, scrutiny remains on the Department of Justice over its handling of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by President Donald Trump. The law requires the release of unclassified documents tied to Epstein’s prosecution.
According to federal filings, the DOJ is reviewing more than two million documents. To date, only a small portion has been released, fueling concerns among lawmakers and the public about transparency and accountability at the highest levels of government.
For many Americans, the situation reinforces a long-held belief: accountability should not depend on political power or last names. When subpoenas are issued, compliance should be the standard—not the exception.
