Bill and Hillary Clinton cave to Oversight Committee and agree to testify in Epstein probe
Are they actually going to vote on something real?
Bill and Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify in the House Oversight Committee‘s investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein ahead of the House moving forward with contempt proceedings, a spokesperson said.
The reversal from the Clintons comes after Chairman James Comer (R-KY) rejected an earlier offer from the couple to testify under limitations, as the House Rules Committee was marking up the legislation to move forward with holding the two in contempt.
“They negotiated in good faith,” Clinton spokesperson Angel Ureña wrote in a post to X. “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.”
Comer said in a statement shortly after that the committee needed to clarify the terms under which the Clintons would be testifying before agreeing to holding depostions for them.

I will clarify the terms they are agreeing to and then discuss next steps with my committee members.”
The initial offer was made as the House is set to vote on the resolution to hold the Clintons in contempt of Congress this week, after they failed to show up for their depositions with the committee for its Epstein investigation last month.
“For the aforementioned reasons, the Committee must decline the unreasonable offer in your January 31, 2026 letter,” Comer wrote in a letter to their attorneys. “It has been nearly six months since your clients first received the Committee’s subpoena, more than three months since the original date of their depositions, and nearly three weeks since they failed to appear for their depositions commensurate with the Committee’s lawful subpoenas. Your clients’ desire for special treatment is both frustrating and an affront to the American people’s desire for transparency.”
According to the Jan. 31 letter, the offer states the former president would sit for four hours for a voluntary, transcribed interview in New York City, limited to the scope of the Epstein investigation, where lawmakers from both parties and their staff could ask questions. The letter added that both the Clintons and the committee could have their …
