The House of Representatives is expected to vote on whether to recommend contempt charges against former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton next week, when it returns from recess.

The House Rules Committee will be the first vote on the separate contempt resolutions and is expected to vote on Monday afternoon. House leaders have not scheduled the floor vote so far, but sources told Politico that it is expected to take place as early as next Wednesday. 

The votes come after the House Oversight panel summoned the Clintons to testify about their connections to the late sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein last year amid frustrations with the Justice Department's handling of the case. Neither appeared before the panel.

The House Oversight Committee advanced the resolutions against both Clintons last week.
