Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been ordered to appear for depositions by the House Oversight Committee in its ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
Rep. James Comer, chairman of the committee, issued the subpoenas in August, citing personal relationships the Clintons had with Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell that go beyond their public roles. Comer emphasized that their personal ties could provide insight into Epstein’s network.
The former first couple had previously pushed back their testimony dates. Their attorneys had offered a written statement instead, arguing they had limited relevant information — but Comer rejected that offer, demanding in-person testimony.
According to the committee’s schedule, Bill Clinton is to be deposed on December 17, followed by Hillary Clinton on December 18. Both are expected to respond under oath about their interactions with Epstein in a private capacity, outside their official government duties.
What to Watch:
- Whether the Clintons comply with the subpoenas or continue to delay.
- What new information, if any, emerges about their personal relationship with Epstein.
- How their testimony might influence the broader congressional investigation into Epstein’s associates.
Summary:
In a major development, Bill and Hillary Clinton have been subpoenaed to testify before Congress in December as part of the Epstein probe, following questions about their personal connections to Epstein and Maxwell.
