Clintons agree to testify on Epstein as vote looms to hold them in contempt of Congress
AI Summary
Bill and Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee regarding their knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein, averting a potential vote to hold them in contempt of Congress. The Clintons' decision comes after a months-long standoff and accusations from Republicans that they were stonewalling the investigation. While Bill Clinton has acknowledged acquaintance with Epstein and travel on his plane, he denies any knowledge of Epstein's sex crimes. The committee, led by Republicans, seeks to gather information related to Epstein, who died in prison in 2019. The depositions will mark the first time a former U.S. president has testified before a congressional panel since 1983. Both Clintons maintain they have already provided relevant information to the committee.
