For once, Donald Trump is definitely right to feel worried.
As House Republicans push Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton to appear in court under the threat of being held in contempt over the Jeffrey Epstein case, Trump is acting nervously in public and thinking privately.
He said, “I think it’s a shame,” and suddenly seemed to feel sorry for Bill Clinton.
He added, “I always liked him.” When it came to Hillary, he said, “She’s a very capable woman.” He even said, “I hate to see it in many ways.”
It’s interesting how fast the tone changes when the situation turns against you.
Because that’s the real thing here.
By forcing the Clintons to testify, House Republicans have crossed a big line: Congress is now saying that former presidents can be forced to answer questions under oath — or else face contempt.
That’s not just bad for the Clintons.
It’s really bad for Trump.
The House Oversight Committee, led by James Comer, is bringing the Clintons in as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
These depositions will be private, recorded, and written down — with the clear warning of possible fines or jail time.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said that the contempt process is on hold now that the Clintons agreed to testify.
But the damage is already done. The door is open, and Trump knows it.
He had his own well-known connection with Epstein.
Although there have been no real accusations yet, there are a lot of questions, photos, and flight records that are still unclear. And now, because of his own party’s actions, the House has created a tool that doesn’t just affect Democrats.
That’s why Trump wasn’t laughing.
He was anxious, acting like he was remembering good times.
Because today it’s the Clintons who are being called in.
Tomorrow? Congress might decide that it’s Trump’s turn to give testimony — and this time, there might not be a way out.
Be careful what precedents you support.
They can come back with consequences.
