The House Oversight Committee has set a noon deadline for former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to agree to standard deposition terms or face a contempt of Congress vote.

The pair originally faced a subpoena to appear for transcribed, filmed depositions without time limits, though they failed to show up for their scheduled appearances. A person familiar with the matter told Just the News that the House was prepared to advance contempt proceedings against them if the Clintons did not agree to the terms by noon.

On Monday, the Oversight panel rejected a proposal from the Clintons to provide limited testimony, which included time limits and a narrowed scope for questioning. Committee Chairman James Comer rejected the proposal and chided the Clintons for seeking "preferential treatment."

Under the Biden administration, both Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon, two then-former Trump advisors, were convicted of contempt of Congress after they refused to comply with subpoenas to testify before the House Jan. 6 Committee.
