Former President Bill Clinton and ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will appear for transcribed, videotaped depositions concerning their relationship with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) announced Tuesday.
Hillary Clinton will appear on Feb. 26, with her husband due the following day.
“Republicans and Democrats on the Oversight Committee have been clear: no one is above the law—and that includes the Clintons,” Comer said in a statement.
“After delaying and defying duly issued subpoenas for six months, the House Oversight Committee moved swiftly to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings in response to their non-compliance. Once it became clear that the House of Representatives would hold them in contempt, the Clintons completely caved and will appear for transcribed, filmed depositions this month. We look forward to questioning the Clintons as part of our investigation into the horrific crimes of Epstein and Maxwell, to deliver transparency and accountability for the American people and for survivors.”
The former first couple had until noon to agree to the committee’s deposition terms or face renewed contempt proceedings.
