Former President Bill Clinton and ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton skipped their closed-door depositions before the House Oversight Committee regarding late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, forcing the panel’s GOP leader to begin contempt of Congress proceedings Tuesday.

“Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and its people, no matter the consequences,” the ex-first couple wrote to Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), according to a letter first reported by the New York Times.

“For us, now is that time.”

Comer had warned he would begin proceedings to hold the Clintons in contempt if they did not appear to answer questions about their personal relationship with the deceased sex trafficker.

“Bill Clinton did not show up, and I think it’s important to note that this subpoena was voted on in a bipartisan manner by this committee,” he told reporters Tuesday. Read more, see photos and video here.
