Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify in a House investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. This development comes as the Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. James Comer, was pushing for criminal contempt of Congress charges against the Clintons for initially defying a congressional subpoena. Attorneys for the Clintons emailed the Oversight panel stating the pair would appear for depositions on mutually agreeable dates. However, Rep. Comer has stated that an agreement has not yet been finalized. The House investigation is focused on understanding the extent of the Clintons' relationship with the convicted sex offender.
