Bill and Hillary Clinton Agree to Testify Before U.S. House Panel Former president and former secretary of state set to answer questions in Epstein probe.
Bill and Hillary Clinton reversed earlier refusals and agreed to sit for testimony in the House Oversight Committee’s investigation.
Their decision comes just before the House was scheduled to vote on holding them in contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas.
Oversight Committee Chair James Comer said he may delay or clarify contempt proceedings, noting the Clintons have not yet provided specific deposition dates.
A contempt vote could have led to criminal charges; cooperation may avert that outcome but negotiations continue.
Republican lawmakers emphasized enforcement of subpoenas; Democrats expressed concerns about political motives behind the probe.
Committee and the Clintons must agree on deposition terms and schedule, determining whether the contempt issue advances.
