From Stonewall to Sworn Testimony: The Clintons, Congress, and the Epstein Question (2/4/26)

Recent news reporting indicates former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have reversed their earlier refusal and agreed to provide testimony to the U.S. House of Representatives Oversight Committee about their past relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. After months of resisting subpoenas — arguing the demands were legally invalid and politically motivated — and amid preparations for a possible contempt of Congress vote, the Clintons’ legal team has now signaled willingness to sit for depositions or provide sworn interviews under terms to be negotiated with the committee’s Republican chairman, Rep. James Comer. This shift comes just days before the full House was expected to consider holding them in contempt for failing to comply with earlier deposition subpoenas in the Epstein inquiry.

The agreement to testify doesn’t end the controversy: Comer has indicated that the Clintons’ proposed terms — including unspecified dates and limits on scope in some offers — still require clarification before contempt proceedings are officially reconsidered or dropped. While neither Bill nor Hillary Clinton has been accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein’s crimes, lawmakers have sought their testimony because of Bill Clinton’s well-documented past social relationship with Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s, and the broader public interest in transparency about Epstein’s network of powerful associates.
