Overview
- Hillary Clinton is scheduled for Feb. 26 and Bill Clinton for Feb. 27 in closed-door sessions that will be filmed and transcribed, according to Chair James Comer.
- House leaders had prepared criminal contempt votes and set a noon deadline for signed terms before proceedings were put on hold.
- The Oversight Committee subpoenaed the Clintons in August and advanced contempt resolutions in January after they missed depositions, with several Democrats joining Republicans.
- Comer rejected the Clintons’ proposed alternatives that included a four-hour interview for Bill Clinton and a sworn declaration from Hillary Clinton, insisting on full depositions with no artificial time limits.
- The testimony comes as DOJ continues large releases of Epstein-related records; the Clintons say they negotiated in good faith and deny knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
