Event Summary

Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify before the United States===United States House of Representatives' House Oversight Committee this month. This decision comes after months of resistance to subpoenas and facing the threat of a contempt of Congress vote. The testimony is part of a Republican-led investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Hillary Clinton is scheduled to testify on February 26, and Bill Clinton on February 27. This marks the first time a former president has been compelled to testify before Congress. The Clintons have criticized the investigation's focus, arguing it's politically motivated and diverts attention from the Trump administration's handling of Epstein's files. The agreement includes closed-door depositions that will be transcribed and video-recorded.
