Bill, Hillary Clinton to be deposed in New York for House Oversight Epstein probe
Same show, different day.
Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be deposed by the House Oversight Committee in their hometown instead of in Washington, D.C. next week, Fox News Digital has learned.
The Clintons are testifying under oath for the committee's probe into Jeffrey Epstein. Hillary Clinton's deposition is scheduled for Feb. 26 while Bill Clinton will sit down with congressional staff and lawmakers on Feb. 27.
"The Clintons’ depositions will be held in Chappaqua, New York on February 26 and 27 as an accommodation for their schedules. The depositions are in accordance with House and Committee rules," a spokeswoman for the House Oversight Committee told Fox News Digital.

"Their testimony may also inform how Congress can strengthen laws to better combat human trafficking.

House Republicans nearly moved forward with a vote on holding them both in contempt of Congress last month after the Clintons' lawyers ripped Comer's subpoenas as legally invalid and a breach of separation of powers.
DEMOCRATS SAY CLINTONS' AGREEMENT TO TESTIFY UNDERCUTS SUBPOENA PUSH, WON'T BRING NEW EPSTEIN ANSWERS
While some Democrats agreed with the move, the majority of them accused Comer of persecuting the Clintons on political grounds.
If the votes were successful, they would both have been referred to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for prosecution. A guilty verdict for contempt of Congress carries up to one year in jail and a maximum fine of $100,000.
But days before the expected vote, the Clintons' counsel told Comer they would agree to testify.
In the days since, however, both Clintons have waged a public pressure campaign demanding they get public hearings instead of a closed-door transcribed and taped interview.
