Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are set to give testimony to the House Oversight Committee next week for the committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, a committee spokeswoman said. The depositions will be held in Chappaqua, New York, on Feb. 26 and 27, according to the spokeswoman. The Clintons have not been accused of any wrongdoing. While most of the depositions the committee has held in connection with its probe into Epstein have taken place in D.C., the committee has made exceptions. Billionaire Les Wexner’s deposition took place at his estate in New Albany, Ohio, and Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell appeared virtually for her deposition from a federal prison camp in Texas. The Clintons were originally set to testify before the committee last year, but that was postponed to accommodate their schedules. They became involved in a standoff with House Republicans after they refused to appear for a rescheduled testimony before the committee this month. The committee subpoenaed the Clintons in August, requesting testimony from them related to Epstein, along with several top former Justice Department officials, including former Attorneys General Merrick Garland, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch and Alberto Gonzales; and former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller. The Clintons said they would comply with the committee’s subpoena after the Oversight Committee voted to advance contempt resolutions against the former first couple to the House floor. That resolution’s consideration was suspended earlier in February after the Clintons said they would provide testimony. The couple favored providing testimony at an open hearing and suggested Feb. 26 for Hillary Clinton’s testimony and Feb. 27 for Bill Clinton’s. Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., however, said at the time that the two had agreed to a recorded deposition and “the rules of a standard deposition, so they’re not going to be treated any differently than anyone else.” Spokespeople for the Clintons did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the scheduled deposition. The Justice Department has released millions of pages of files related to Epstein following the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The first set of files released by the Justice Department late last year included pictures of Bill Clinton. At the time, Clinton’s spokesperson, Angel Ureña, said that the former president flew on Epstein’s plane for Clinton Foundation trips in the early 2000s, before Epstein had been charged with any sex crimes. Bill Clinton has denied any wrongdoing. The former president previously said that he cut ties with Epstein before Epstein was accused in 2006 of having sex with a minor. Hillary Clinton’s spokesperson, Nick Merrill, said in a December statement that “Since this started, we’ve been asking what the hell Hillary Clinton has to do with this, and [Comer] hasn’t been able to come up with an answer.” ...read more read less
