Former President Bill Clinton is set to appear today before the Republican-led U.S. House Oversight Committee for a closed-door deposition tied to the ongoing congressional probe into Jeffrey Epstein and his network of powerful associates. The deposition follows six hours of testimony yesterday from his wife, Hillary Clinton, who repeatedly denied personal knowledge of Epstein’s crimes and stated she never met him or visited his properties — remarks that have fueled political debate. Clinton’s testimony today in Chappaqua, New York, will focus on his past connections with Epstein, which included known social interactions and documented flights aboard Epstein’s private jet, even as both Clintons have denied any involvement in his criminal conduct.
The session marks an unusual moment in congressional oversight: it is one of the rare instances a former U.S. president has been compelled to testify under oath before lawmakers. Committee Republicans, led by Chair Rep. James Comer, argue Clinton’s deposition will shed light on Epstein’s network, how he avoided accountability for years, and whether powerful figures benefited from or obscured his conduct. Clinton has denied wrongdoing related to Epstein and maintains that his interactions were social or philanthropic, not criminal, and that he ceased contact long before the breadth of Epstein’s abuse became widely known. Both sides expect the full transcript and video of the deposition to be released later, making today’s testimony a significant moment in the broader debate over transparency, influence, and accountability in the Epstein cases.
