Clintons to Testify Before House Committee in Jeffrey Epstein Investigation.
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have agreed to give depositions to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking network involving underage girls. The move averts a potential confrontation with Congress, which had been considering holding the couple in criminal contempt.
The committee, led by Republicans, had issued subpoenas in August 2025 and scheduled appearances for January, which the Clintons initially did not attend. On February 2, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, Angel Ureña, confirmed on social media that the couple will appear before the panel, noting they had “negotiated in good faith” and “look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone.”
Bill Clinton’s image appears in decades-old Epstein files released by the Department of Justice, including photographs showing him at social gatherings with Epstein. Ureña stressed that Clinton had ceased associating with Epstein before his crimes came to light. The former president has never been accused of wrongdoing by survivors and denies knowledge of Epstein’s offenses.
This will mark the first time a former U.S. president has testified before Congress since Gerald Ford in 1983. House Oversight Chairman James Comer said the subpoenas were bipartisan and aimed to ensure accountability. The Clintons, however, have described the process as politically motivated, claiming in a letter that committee priorities have “prevented progress in discovering the facts” and serve partisan goals.
