Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed to testify in the House Oversight Committee’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation after lawmakers moved toward criminal contempt.<\/b>
\nFormer President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify in the House Oversight Committee\u2019s Jeffrey Epstein investigation after lawmakers moved toward holding them in criminal contempt of Congress.
The committee said in a post on X that the Clintons were \u00ab\u00a0trying to dodge contempt by requesting special treatment\u00a0\u00bb, adding that \u00ab\u00a0The Clintons are not above the law.\u00a0\u00bb
Angel Ure\u00f1a, deputy chief of staff to Bill Clinton, confirmed in a post on X that both Clintons will appear before the panel.
\u00ab\u00a0They negotiated in good faith. You did not\u00a0\u00bb, Ure\u00f1a wrote. \u00ab\u00a0But the former president and former Secretary of State will be there and look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone.\u00a0\u00bb
The committee is examining what the Clintons may have known about Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, including scrutiny of Hillary Clinton\u2019s role overseeing U.S. efforts to combat international sex trafficking while serving as Secretary of State.<\/p>\n
