Event Summary

Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton are scheduled to testify behind closed doors before the House Oversight Committee regarding their connections to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. The Clintons initially resisted subpoenas but agreed to testify after threats of contempt of Congress. Democrats allege the investigation is politically motivated to attack Donald Trump, who is also a former Epstein associate. Bill Clinton has acknowledged flying on Epstein's plane for humanitarian work but denies visiting his private island, criticizing the closed-door nature of the depositions. Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, refused to answer questions from the committee, with her attorney stating she would speak publicly if granted clemency by Donald Trump. The release of Epstein files has already damaged reputations and led to arrests globally.
