House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-KY) issued the following statement regarding the depositions scheduled for 17 Dec 2025, for former President William J. Clinton and December 18, 2025, for former Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton:

  • "It has been more than four months since Bill and Hillary Clinton were subpoenaed to sit for depositions related to our investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's horrific crimes. Throughout that time, the former President and former Secretary of State have delayed, obstructed, and largely ignored the Committee staff's efforts to schedule their testimony. If the Clintons fail to appear for their depositions next week or schedule a date for early January, the Oversight Committee will begin contempt of Congress proceedings to hold them accountable."

    A Cincinnati-based Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) supervisor is being held in Hamilton County Jail on $400,000 bond after allegedly strangling his partner. ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations official Samuel Saxon, 47, was arrested on Dec. 5 after police say he attacked a woman he lives with in their Corryville apartment. In court Monday, an officer testified that police have been called to the apartment roughly two dozen times in the last year and a half. Prosecutors also detailed a long relationship between Saxon and the victim that began when she was 18 years old and he was in his 40s. Court records state Saxon's arrest followed observations of bruising on the woman's neck and accounts from witnesses who said he put her in a chokehold in the apartment's hallway. Prosecutors noted the woman has reported serious injuries in past incidents linked to Saxon, including a broken nose in 2018 and a broken pelvis in April.

But authorities warned that waters would still be high for days, and that danger from potential levee failures remained. "This is not just a one- or two-day crisis," Gov. Bob Ferguson said at a news briefing. "These water levels have been historic, and they're going to remain very high for an extended period of time." President Donald Trump has signed the state's request for an emergency declaration, Ferguson said. An unusually strong atmospheric river dumped a foot (30 cm) or more of rain in parts of western Washington over several days and swelled rivers. No deaths have been reported, Ferguson said.
