Clintons to Sit for House Oversight Depositions Next Week in Epstein Inquiry

The committee plans closed, recorded depositions after a format standoff, with the Clintons pushing for a public hearing.

Overview

  • Hillary Clinton is scheduled to testify on Feb. 26 and Bill Clinton on Feb. 27 in Chappaqua, New York, under oath before House Oversight investigators.
  • Chair James Comer says the sessions will follow standard rules for recorded, transcribed depositions rather than an immediate public hearing.
  • The Clintons agreed to appear after the committee advanced contempt resolutions tied to subpoenas issued in August, and the planned floor votes were paused once they committed to testify.
  • The Justice Department’s recent release of millions of Epstein-related files, including photos of Bill Clinton, intensified scrutiny; both Clintons deny wrongdoing and have not been accused of crimes.
  • Republicans say the testimony could inform anti-trafficking legislation, and the probe has already taken testimony from figures such as Les Wexner and Ghislaine Maxwell, with some reports suggesting the depositions could be released publicly soon.
