Unexpected vacancies have whittled the G.O.P.’s edge to just a couple of votes, leaving Speaker Mike Johnson with almost no margin for leading the chamber.
The couple escalated their battle with Representative James R. Comer, the chairman of the Oversight Committee, who said he would move to hold them in contempt of Congress.
Representative James R. Comer has repeatedly threatened to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt if they failed to appear for live depositions behind closed doors.
