Clintons agree to testify in House Epstein investigation, aide says
- 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.

- 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.
