Clintons Request Public Testimony in House Epstein Probe
The couple says an open hearing would prevent partisan misuse of the inquiry.
Overview
- House Oversight subpoenaed closed-door depositions, setting Hillary Clinton for February 26 and Bill Clinton for February 27.
- The Justice Department last week released more than three million Epstein-related documents, photos and videos.
- The files reference Bill Clinton frequently, with no evidence to date implicating either Clinton in criminal conduct.
- Bill Clinton acknowledges early-2000s flights on Epstein’s plane for Clinton Foundation work and says he never visited the island; Hillary Clinton says she had no significant ties, never flew on his plane and never visited the island.
- Republicans warned of a contempt vote if they refused to appear, Democrats argue the probe is political, and Trump, an Epstein associate, has not been called to testify.
