Bill and Hillary Clinton have agreed to participate in the congressional investigation into the Epstein case.
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have agreed to attend and testify in the congressional investigation into the case of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Bill Clinton’s deputy chief of staff confirmed this on Monday, February 1, and announced that both will be present at the congressional session.
This decision is announced as the U.S. House of Representatives, with a Republican majority, was on the verge of considering a vote to charge both Clintons with criminal contempt for defying congressional subpoenas.
Bill Clinton’s name and image appear in documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice from the Epstein case, although he has denied any wrongdoing or misconduct.
This is the first time since Gerald Ford’s testimony in 1983 that a former U.S. President has testified before a congressional committee.
