Even Jon Stewart is saying the quiet part out loud now. The longtime left-wing comedian and host of The Daily Show stunned listeners by declaring that Bill and Hillary Clinton should “abso-f**king-lutely” comply with Epstein-related subpoenas and testify before Congress. When Jon Stewart is calling for accountability, you know something has gone seriously sideways.
During Tuesday’s episode of The Weekly Show podcast, Stewart was asked whether the Clintons should comply with subpoenas issued by the House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. His answer was immediate and emphatic: “I absolutely do.” No hedging, no comedy dodge—just a blunt admission that Congress deserves answers.
Stewart did try to sprinkle in an asterisk, arguing that the Department of Justice has failed to meet a deadline to release all Epstein-related files following a congressional vote. He questioned why individuals should comply if DOJ isn’t fully cooperating, musing about whether compliance is supposed to be “universal.” Fair question—but even Stewart couldn’t hide the obvious conclusion.
“But do I personally think they should comply?” Stewart said. “Abso-f**king-lutely. Absolutely, and if they’ve got something to hide or nefarious, yes, we should know about all this. This is bonkers how long this is going on.” When a progressive media icon is calling the situation “bonkers,” it’s probably past time for answers.
Stewart later doubled down, saying both the Clintons and the DOJ should comply so victims of this “heinous case” can finally get justice and peace. That sentiment alone exposes just how bad the optics have become for the former First Family.
As Breitbart News reported, Bill Clinton is now under contempt of Congress after failing to appear for his scheduled deposition before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday. Hillary Clinton followed suit, skipping her own deposition on Wednesday despite a bipartisan subpoena. So much for transparency.
Instead of live testimony, the Clintons reportedly offered sworn written statements—because nothing says accountability like carefully lawyered answers drafted behind closed doors. Their attorney, David Kendall, claimed Hillary Clinton has no personal knowledge of Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes and never flew on Epstein’s plane or visited his island. Kendall also asserted that Bill Clinton hadn’t spoken to Epstein in more than twenty years. Convenient timelines are always popular in Washington.
What stands out most is this: even Jon Stewart sees that refusing to show up only fuels suspicion. Under President Trump, congressional oversight and accountability aren’t optional, no matter how powerful your last name is. The American people—and Epstein’s victims—deserve transparency, not stonewalling.
If accountability is finally becoming bipartisan, that’s good news. Truth has a way of surfacing eventually, and under strong leadership, it’s no longer being swept under the rug.
