Dey, United States:
Former US President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
have agreed to testify in the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into
Jeffrey Epstein, just days before a vote to hold them in criminal contempt of
Congress for refusing to appear.
The couple, who were previously accused of stalling and dismissing subpoenas as
a “ploy to embarrass political rivals” will now sit for closed‑door depositions
in what could be the first time a former US president testifies to a
congressional panel since 1983.
This move comes amid renewed scrutiny over Epstein’s high‑society network, including photos of Bill Clinton in a hot tub at Epstein’s estate, which have reignited questions about why no one close to Epstein has been prosecuted.
Details & Context
The
House Oversight Committee, led by Republican Chairman James Comer, voted last
month to advance contempt resolutions against both Clintons after they refused
to comply with subpoenas for closed‑door, transcribed depositions on Epstein.
The committee argued that “no one is above the law” and that the Clintons had
delayed repeatedly, despite multiple opportunities to testify.
On
Monday evening, Clinton deputy chief of staff Angel Ureña announced on X
(Twitter) that the couple would appear before the panel
“They negotiated in good faith. You did not. They told you under oath what
they know but you don’t care. But the former President and former Secretary of
State will be there. They look forward to setting a precedent that applies to
everyone.”
Bill Clinton’s Epstein Ties
Bill
Clinton has long been linked to Epstein, whose private jet logs show the former
president took four international flights in 2002 and 2003.
Photos released by the Department of Justice in December 2025 show Clinton
swimming in a pool and lying in a hot tub at Epstein’s estate, alongside
Ghislaine Maxwell and other guests.
Clinton’s spokesman has said the images are “decades old” and that the former president cut off contact with Epstein before his crimes became public.
Why Is No One Being Prosecuted Over the Epstein Files.?
The
latest batch of Epstein files, released under the Epstein Files Transparency
Act, includes thousands of documents and hundreds of photos but no new criminal
charges have been filed against high‑profile figures.
Critics argue that the Justice Department and Congress are using the files for
political theater rather than real accountability, while survivors of Epstein’s
abuse continue to demand justice.

· The Clintons wrote in a letter to Comer: “The decisions you have made and the priorities you have set as chairman regarding the Epstein investigation, have prevented progress in discovering the facts about the government’s role. There is no plausible explanation for what you are doing other than partisan politics.”
· On X, @stockmom tweeted: “Breaking: Bill and Hillary Clinton to testify at US Congress over Jeffrey Epstein case. The decision comes days after the House was set to vote to hold the Clintons in criminal contempt.”

Additional Information
What’s new in the Epstein files.? The DOJ released 52 million pages under the congressional law, including details on Clinton and other big names. Research shows the probe sped up in 2025-2026 with subpoenas to former officials too. On X, @DavidLWagner4 noted the Clintons postponed testimony multiple times. @carloseats linked to AP News about reaching an agreement.
Web updates from Reuters, Al Jazeera and NYT say the depositions will be closed-door in DC and Comer is rethinking contempt. X posts from February 3, 2026 like @tonyb1957 sharing NBC News, confirm they agreed to in-person testimony. @MadMax710743425 asked about concessions made. @DeItaone referenced NYT on their refusal earlier. This fresh info from 2026 posts boosts relevance.

Impact Analysis
· Political Fallout: The contempt threat and testimony could damage the Clintons’ reputation and fuel partisan attacks, especially in an election year.
· Epstein Legacy: The case highlights the power and influence of Epstein’s network including celebrities, politicians and business leaders and raises questions about why so few have faced consequences.
· Congressional Power: The vote to hold the Clintons in contempt underscores the House’s authority to compel testimony, even from former presidents.
This move shakes up US politics big time. Republicans see it as a win, pushing “no one above the law.” Democrats call it party games. The Epstein case has hurt trust in leaders, especially with high-society sex scandals. If testimony brings new facts, it could pressure DOJ for prosecutions. On X, engagement is sky-high – @kylegriffin1’s post got over 400K views on their defiance. It’s historic, first ex-president testimony in decades. Could boost #MeToo, shift public views and affect 2026 elections. Users debate if Clintons “caved” – driving more talks and views.
Conclusion
The
Clintons’ agreement to testify on Epstein is a major development in a long‑running
scandal that has exposed the dark side of elite power and privilege.
As the House Oversight Committee prepares to question the former president and
secretary of state, the world will be watching to see whether this
investigation leads to real accountability or more political drama.
