She argued the committee\u2019s subpoena was based on an incorrect assumption that she had facts about epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and she reaffirmed in sworn testimony that she had no knowledge to aid the examination. Clinton criticized the committee as engaging in a fishing expedition and urged a more constructive focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tx-gov-abbott-pushes-back-against-new-york-washington-d-c-mayors-over-busing-scheme\/\" title=\"Tx Gov.
