Overview
- Hillary Clinton is scheduled for a closed-door, transcribed and videotaped deposition on Feb. 26, followed by Bill Clinton on Feb. 27, according to Chair James Comer.
- The agreement came after a GOP-imposed noon deadline and Speaker Mike Johnson’s warning of a contempt vote, leading House leaders to hold off on immediate enforcement.
- The Oversight Committee subpoenaed the Clintons in August 2025 and, after they missed January dates, advanced bipartisan contempt referrals by votes of 34–8 for Bill Clinton and 28–15 for Hillary Clinton.
- Attorneys for the Clintons had sought a four-hour transcribed interview for Bill Clinton and a sworn declaration from Hillary Clinton, proposals Comer rejected in favor of in-person, filmed depositions.
- The Clintons maintain they lacked knowledge of Epstein’s crimes, and Ghislaine Maxwell is slated to testify virtually on Feb. 9 with plans to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights.
