Bill Clinton to testify before House committee investigating Epstein links

Hillary Clinton is testifying as part of the House investigation into Jeffrey Epstein

Hillary Clinton is testifying before the House Oversight Committee in New York as part of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. The closed-door deposition, followed by Bill Clinton's testimony, comes after months of negotiation between the Clintons and the Republican-led committee. While Hillary Clinton claims her interactions with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were limited and unrelated to their crimes, Republicans are scrutinizing Bill Clinton's ties to Epstein, citing photos and travel records. The committee is also examining Hillary Clinton's work as Secretary of State addressing sex trafficking. The Clintons agreed to testify after the committee rejected sworn statements and threatened criminal contempt charges.
