The testimony follows months of legal resistance from the Clintons, who initially sought to avoid in-person questioning and criticized the probe as politically motivated. However, they agreed to testify after the House Oversight Committee moved toward holding them in criminal contempt of Congress. The committee’s chairman, James Comer, said lawmakers have questions about Epstein’s connections and broader issues related to federal investigations and ethics.

Bill Clinton has acknowledged past interactions with Epstein, including traveling on his private plane multiple times, but he has never been charged with wrongdoing. His representatives have said he cut ties with Epstein years before Epstein’s 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges. Hillary Clinton has stated she never met Epstein and has questioned the relevance of her testimony.
Lawmakers are expected to question the Clintons on several topics, including the federal government’s handling of Epstein’s case, efforts to combat sex trafficking, and Epstein’s relationships with influential figures. The depositions will be recorded and could be released publicly after review.
The investigation reflects a shifting political climate, with lawmakers from both parties emphasizing transparency and accountability. Survivors of Epstein’s crimes and their legal representatives have called for full cooperation from public figures connected to the case, stressing the importance of uncovering facts and ensuring justice.
