美国众议院预计本周将就是否将前总统比尔·克林顿和前国务卿希拉里·克林顿移交司法部(DOJ)以追究刑事指控进行投票。
众议院规则委员会——在大多数法案进行全院投票前的最后一道关卡——定于美国东部时间周一下午4点审议两项针对克林顿夫妇的国会藐视决议。
这些决议预计将在委员会内以党派线为界通过,最早周二或周三就会进入最终表决阶段。
克林顿夫妇均收到传票,要求出席众议院监督委员会,就国会对杰弗里·爱泼斯坦案的调查作证。
民主党人回避问题,众议院共和党人准备对克林顿夫妇进行藐视投票
尽管这对前第一夫妇的律师与监督委员会工作人员进行了数月的来回沟通,但他们从未按照委员会主席、肯塔基州共和党人詹姆斯·科默(James Comer)规定的条件出庭,这促使科默发起了藐视程序。
“这表明任何人都不能凌驾于法律之上,”科默在上个月其小组推进相关决议后告诉记者,“我为委员会感到非常自豪,并期待能尽快获取爱泼斯坦案的相关文件,为美国人民寻求答案。”
委员会以两党共同投票的方式推进了针对克林顿夫妇的藐视决议。九名民主党人与共和党人一起支持推进对比尔·克林顿的决议,另有三人支持推进针对希拉里·克林顿的决议。
随着藐视投票临近,克林顿发言人抨击科默对爱泼斯坦调查
然而,大多数民主党人指责科默在针对克林顿的藐视行动中带有党派动机。
克林顿夫妇是科默作为调查小组对爱泼斯坦案调查的10名被传票传唤者之一。传票是在监督委员会一个小组在与非法移民无关的听证会上进行两党投票后发出的。
委员会中的民主党人指出,科默并未推动对其他未出庭者进行藐视追究,也未对司法部未能在去年年底与国会达成的最后期限前提交所有爱泼斯坦案相关文件发出任何威胁。司法部目前仅提交了预期文件的一小部分。

科默表示,他正在就司法部的文件提交情况与司法部接触。
如果本周的投票成功,众议院将建议司法部对克林顿夫妇提起诉讼。
国会藐视罪属于轻罪,最高可处10万美元罚款和长达一年的监禁。

House panel moves to consider criminal referrals for the Clintons
February 2, 2026 5:30am EST / Fox News
The House of Representatives is expected to vote this week on whether to refer former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for criminal charges.
The House Rules Committee, the final gatekeeper before most legislation gets a chamber-wide vote, is slated to consider a pair of contempt of Congress resolutions targeting the Clintons at 4 p.m. ET on Monday.
Those resolutions are expected to pass through the committee along party lines, teeing them up for final passage as early as Tuesday or Wednesday.
Both Clintons were subpoenaed to appear before the House Oversight Committee to testify for Congress’ probe into Jeffrey Epstein.

Despite months of back-and-forth between the former first couple’s lawyers and Oversight staff, they never appeared on terms dictated by Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., pushing him to initiate contempt proceedings.
“This shows that no one is above the law,” Comer told reporters after his panel advanced the resolutions last month. “I’m just real proud of the committee and look forward to hopefully getting the Epstein documents in very quickly and trying to get answers for the American people.”
The committee voted along bipartisan lines to move forward with contempt resolutions against the Clintons. Nine Democrats joined the Republicans to advance the resolution against Bill Clinton, while three voted to advance Hillary Clinton’s.

The majority of Democrats, however, have accused Comer of partisan motivations behind his Clinton contempt efforts.
The Clintons were two of 10 people subpoenaed by Comer as part of the panel’s investigation into Epstein. The subpoenas were issued following a bipartisan vote by an Oversight subcommittee panel during an unrelated hearing on illegal immigration.
Democrats on the committee have pointed out that Comer has not pushed to hold others who did not appear in contempt, nor has he made any threats against the DOJ for failing to produce all of its documents on Epstein by a deadline agreed to by Congress late last year. The department has produced a fraction of the documents expected so far.

Comer has said he is in contact with the DOJ about its document production.
If the vote this week is successful, the House will have recommended both the Clintons for prosecution by the DOJ.
A contempt of Congress charge is a felony misdemeanor that carries a maximum fine of $100,000 and up to a year in jail.
