Liberal daytime TV hosts stunned their own audience as pressure exploded on Bill and Hillary Clinton after Congress voted to advance contempt charges tied to the Epstein investigation.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer moved quickly after the Clintons flatly refused to comply with congressional subpoenas demanding testimony about their relationship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The House Oversight Committee voted Wednesday to recommend holding both Clintons in contempt of Congress, an escalation that immediately placed the former president and former first lady in legal jeopardy.

That recommendation now heads to the full House, where Republicans hold the majority and appear poised to approve the contempt referrals.

If the House votes yes, the matter would then land with the Trump Justice Department, which would decide whether to pursue a grand jury indictment.

The subpoenas were issued after multiple photos surfaced showing the former president on Epstein’s private island, when the DOJ released long-awaited files relating to the disgraced financier.

Rather than comply, the Clintons sent Comer a four-page letter last week laying out why they believe they are not legally required to testify.

The letter blasted President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers, accusing them of carrying out what the Clintons described as a “cruel agenda” and an abuse of government power.

They argued that legal analysis supports their refusal and framed the subpoenas as part of Trump’s alleged “weaponization” of the law.

Comer made it clear that defying Congress would not be brushed aside. “They have had five months to comply with this,” he said during the hearing.

The confrontation spilled into unexpected territory when the mostly liberal hosts of “The View” began openly debating whether the Clintons should show up and testify.

Joy Behar cut against partisan instincts, arguing that the Clintons should appear before Congress to put lingering questions to rest.

She urged the pair to “just testify to clear up any suspicions and get the last word in,” framing cooperation as the cleanest exit.

Behar also took a jab at President Trump while offering advice to Bill Clinton, quipping, “You know, Bill should just say to Trump, “I’m more than happy to testify. You first!””

Sunny Hostin echoed the call for engagement while defending the Clintons’ prior cooperation.

She argued that the Clintons “have done as much as everyone else that has been subpoenaed,” pointing to sworn affidavits already submitted.

Hostin contended that Comer omitted that detail publicly, suggesting the narrative was incomplete.

Referring to the affidavits and the detailed refusal letter, Hostin claimed the situation was “very close to the same as already having testified.”

She then called for Attorney General Pam Bondi to be subpoenaed over the release of Epstein-related files.

Sara Haines cautioned that refusing to appear only deepens suspicion.

“As someone who wants to see everything in the Epstein files and wants every single person held accountable, I think the Clintons should show up,” Haines insisted.

She noted the subpoena vote was unanimous and warned that absence carries consequences.

“When people don’t show up, it makes them look guiltier than they are,” she added.

Haines, however, drew a pointed distinction between the former president and former first lady.

“Her name does not appear once in the Epstein files,” Haines said of Hillary Clinton.

She argued that Hillary Clinton’s only known connection was indirect, adding that involving her felt unnecessary.

Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out that Congressional subpoenas are mandatory.

“I just personally don’t believe that Congressional oversight is something that should be optional to people,” Griffin stated.

She pointed to precedent, reminding viewers that Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon both served jail time after defying subpoenas during the January 6 investigation.

Ana Navarro took a more conflicted stance, citing her personal relationships with the Clintons while still acknowledging societal standards.

She said she was not “comfortable” taking a firm position but stressed fairness.

“I want us as a society to hold the people that we like to the same standard that we hold the people that we don’t like,” Navarro said.

Navarro then turned her fire on President Trump, accusing the committee of selectively targeting the Clintons.

She argued lawmakers should instead focus on Trump, whom she described as “one of Jeffrey Epstein’s best friends for well over a decade.”

Outside daytime television, liberal comedian Jon Stewart also weighed in, landing firmly on the side of the Clinton’s compliance.

On his podcast, the “Daily Show” host responded to a question about the subpoenas by declaring, “I absolutely do” think the Clintons should comply.

Stewart questioned why compliance appears uneven, asking why individuals are pressured while agencies delay releasing files.

“Is compliance a kind of specialized individual indigenous opportunity, or should it be universal?” he asked.

Despite those complaints, Stewart left no ambiguity about his personal view.

“Abso-f—ing-lutely. Absolutely,” he said during his “Weekly Show” podcast.

He argued transparency is necessary regardless of discomfort.

“And if they’ve got something to hide or an affair, like yes, we should know about all this,” Stewart said.

Calling the situation “bonkers,” he urged both the Clintons and the Department of Justice to comply so victims can finally see justice.

As attention intensifies on the Clintons, another key figure connected to Epstein is preparing to appear before Congress.

Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell has agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee in February.

Her appearance is scheduled for Feb. 9 as part of the committee’s investigation into Epstein’s activities.

Comer cautioned that Maxwell may not provide substantive answers.

“Her lawyers have made it clear that she’s going to plead the Fifth,” Comer said. “I hope she changes her mind, because I want to hear from her.”
