Bill And Hillary Clinton Agree To Testify In House Epstein Probe As Contempt Threat Looms

Former US President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton agreed late Monday to testify before the House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, though the Republican chair leading the probe said a final agreement had yet to be secured.

Rep. James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, said negotiations were still incomplete even after attorneys for the Clintons informed committee staff that both would comply with the subpoenas, Associated Press reported.

The development came as Comer was moving forward with criminal contempt of Congress charges against the former president and former secretary of state for previously defying the panel’s demand.
