Jamie Raskin (D\u2011MD) said he will only back holding Bill and hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress if former Florida Attorney General Pam bondi is also included. Appearing on CNN ahead of a House rules Committee vote too move the contempt measure to the floor, Raskin argued Bondi and others possess millions of documents responsive to subpoenas that have not been produced, and he does not want a one\u2011sided, partisan action. The contempt resolution already passed the House Oversight Committee with bipartisan support and could reach the full House; the clintons have pushed back, saying the committee\u2019s subpoenas are legally invalid and criticizing the examination into Epstein\u2011related material. Raskin stressed he wants all relevant details from everyone and warned he will vote against any partisan measure that fails to seek documents and compliance from all parties. The article notes past contempt cases \u2014 such as Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ny-lt-gov-arrested-in-campaign-finance-fraud-scheme\/\" title=\"NY Lt.
