Former US President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify before the house oversight committee as part of its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, after Republican lawmakers moved toward holding them in criminal contempt of Congress.
House oversight committee chair Republican representative James Comer said late Monday that attorneys for the Clintons had informed committee staff that both would comply with the subpoenas and “will appear for depositions on mutually agreeable dates.” However, Comer said no final agreement had been reached and that contempt proceedings were still on the table.
