Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are scheduled to give sworn depositions before a U.S. House committee as part of its ongoing investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to congressional sources familiar with the matter. The depositions are expected to take place behind closed doors and will focus on the Clintons\u2019 past interactions with Epstein, as lawmakers continue to examine the extent of his connections with high-profile political and business figures.<\/p>\n
The House panel has been reviewing records, flight logs, correspondence, and testimony related to Epstein\u2019s network of associates. Lawmakers are seeking to determine whether any influential individuals had knowledge of, or involvement in, activities connected to Epstein\u2019s criminal conduct. Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to state charges in Florida involving solicitation of a minor and later faced federal sex trafficking charges in 2019. He died in a Manhattan federal jail that year while awaiting trial. His case has prompted years of congressional and public scrutiny, particularly regarding how he cultivated relationships with prominent figures.<\/p>\n
Public records show that Bill Clinton traveled on Epstein\u2019s private aircraft on multiple occasions in the early 2000s. The former president has previously stated that the trips were connected to foundation work and that he was unaware of Epstein\u2019s criminal activities at the time. He has denied any wrongdoing. Hillary Clinton has not been accused of misconduct in connection with Epstein, and there is no public evidence linking her to criminal activity. However, the committee\u2019s review is aimed at clarifying timelines, interactions, and any potential overlap between public service roles and Epstein\u2019s social network.<\/p>\n
The depositions are part of a broader effort by lawmakers to address lingering questions about accountability and transparency in the Epstein case. Congressional investigators have emphasized that testimony from high-profile figures is intended to create a complete factual record. Legal experts note that depositions allow lawmakers to gather sworn statements that can later inform public hearings or legislative reforms related to trafficking enforcement and oversight of plea agreements.<\/p>\n
The committee has indicated that additional witnesses may be called as the investigation progresses. While no allegations of criminal conduct have been formally filed against the Clintons in connection with Epstein, their testimony is expected to draw significant public attention. The proceedings underscore Congress\u2019s ongoing effort to examine the full scope of Epstein\u2019s associations and the institutional responses surrounding his case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
