Clintons capitulate on House Epstein investigation, agreeing to testify

Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed to testify in the House Oversight Committee’s probe into Jeffrey Epstein after initially resisting subpoenas. Their compliance came just days before a House vote that could have held them in criminal contempt. The Clintons argued the subpoenas were politically motivated and vowed to fight them.

However, after some Democrats sided with Republicans in contempt votes against them, they conceded. They will testify on mutually agreed dates and have requested more appropriate conditions.

The investigation shifts focus from Trump’s ties to Epstein to prominent Democrats, as the Clintons' testimony marks a rare occurrence for former presidents in Congress.
