Former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton will testify in a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. The decision comes after the Republican-led House Oversight Committee accused them of defying subpoenas and threatened a contempt vote, which could lead to criminal charges. The Clintons had previously offered to cooperate but refused to appear in person, claiming the investigation was politically motivated. A spokesperson for the Clintons stated they will appear and "look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone." While Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson welcomed the news, it is unclear if the contempt vote will be dropped. The Oversight Committee maintains that the Clintons are not above the law.
