US EditionClintons agree to testify in House Epstein investigation, aide says
- On Monday, Former President Bill Clinton and Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton agreed to testify in the House Oversight Committee's Jeffrey Epstein probe, averting a planned contempt vote later this week.
- Republicans subpoenaed the Clintons in August, and after months of resistance, the Oversight panel advanced criminal contempt charges last month while rejecting their alternative offers.
- Attorneys for the Clintons asked Comer not to proceed with contempt when they offered to comply, and Comer `We don't have anything in writing`, saying he was open but uncertain.
- The prospect of a contempt vote raised the possibility of Congress holding a former president in contempt for the first time, and a House Democrat said testimony from the couple is expected over the next few weeks.
- The Clintons and their spokesperson responded that House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said his caucus would discuss contempt later this week but remained noncommittal, amid questions over unreleased DOJ material.
