Committee Chair James Comer said the Clintons \u201ccaved\u201d and will appear, a shift from their previous claim that the examination was invalid and politically motivated. The Clintons had earlier argued the probe was partisan,citing concerns about government actions and referencing President Trump and January 6 as part of their defiant letter to Comer.
