US EditionClintons agree to testify in House Epstein investigation, aide says
The Clintons agreed to testify after resisting subpoenas for months to avoid contempt votes with potential fines and jail time, aiming to set an equal accountability precedent.
- Late Monday, Bill Clinton, former President, and Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State, agreed to appear for depositions before the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee, averting an immediate contempt showdown later this week.
- After months of refusing subpoenas last year, the Clintons proposed a four-hour transcribed interview and sworn declaration, prompting Rep. James Comer, Chair, House Oversight Committee, to advance criminal contempt charges.
- The Clintons' lawyers proposed a four-hour transcribed interview for Bill Clinton in New York City and a sworn declaration from Hillary Clinton, later agreeing to appear on mutually agreeable dates.
- By agreeing to testify, the Clintons likely delayed potential referrals, as the procedural vote in the House Rules Committee was postponed just before planned contempt actions.
- Historically, no former U.S. president has testified before Congress since 1983, with the Clintons' potential appearance in the Epstein probe being nearly unprecedented, amid a 218-to-214 Republican majority.
