UPDATE: On October 18, 2023, Ana Navarro, co-host of The View, expressed her disbelief regarding the House Oversight Committee’s decision to subpoena Hillary Clinton to testify in the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein files investigation. Navarro argued that attention should instead focus on Melania Trump, who has previously been photographed with Epstein.
The controversy erupted today as House Republicans threatened to hold both Hillary and her husband, Bill Clinton, in contempt for failing to appear at their scheduled deposition. Navarro questioned the motives behind the subpoena, highlighting that Hillary’s name “does not appear once in the Epstein files.” Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin echoed this sentiment, labeling the inquiry as feeling “witch-hunty.”
During the discussion, Navarro, who has known the Clintons for over two decades, revealed her discomfort with the situation. “It’s very hard for me… to say that I want them to show up and I want them to testify,” she stated. However, she emphasized the need for a consistent approach to accountability, stating that “society should hold the people that we like to the same standard that we hold the people that we don’t like.”
Navarro pointed out the apparent discrepancy in scrutiny between the Clintons and Donald Trump, who had longstanding ties with Epstein. “While they are going vociferously against Bill and Hillary Clinton… Donald Trump, who was one of Jeffrey Epstein’s best friends for well over a decade, gets scot-free,” she declared.
Moreover, Navarro called attention to Melania Trump, stating, “They are trying to haul in Hillary Clinton, who has not been implicated in anything… at the same time that they are letting Melania Trump… off without inquiry.” She emphasized, “There are pictures of Melania Trump with Epstein!” highlighting the need for equal accountability.
