Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton both declined to appear for scheduled House committee depositions as part of the ongoing congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s network.
The subpoenas had been issued as lawmakers sought testimony from individuals connected to Epstein and his circle of associates, aiming to gather firsthand accounts and documentation related to the late financier’s activities and relationships.
Both Clintons were expected to provide answers about interactions and affiliations during the period in question but did not attend their allotted sessions. Their legal representatives informed investigators that they would not participate in the depositions.
The committee’s investigation continues, with lawmakers evaluating next steps to obtain relevant testimony and evidence from other witnesses and sources. The absence of the Clintons has drawn significant public and political attention as the probe unfolds.
