House Oversight Chairman James Comer announced that lawmakers intend to compel former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify in connection with the ongoing congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s network.
Comer stated that the committee is preparing to issue subpoenas for both Clintons after evaluating evidence and communications tied to Epstein’s activities and associations. The move is part of a broader effort by Republicans on the committee to gather firsthand testimony from individuals who had documented interactions with Epstein and his circle.
The chairman emphasized that the goal is to secure clarity on past meetings, travel arrangements, and other contacts involving the Clintons and Epstein, as part of lawmakers’ oversight responsibilities. Committee members argue that public testimony could shed light on previously undisclosed aspects of Epstein-related records and help determine what information remains outstanding.
The decision to pursue testimony follows extensive review of financial records, flight logs, and correspondence connected to Epstein. Comer said that the committee will proceed with formal requests and legal processes necessary to ensure compliance with congressional authority.
Democratic members of the panel have criticized the approach, calling it politically motivated and questioning the relevance of certain lines of inquiry. Nonetheless, GOP leadership has moved forward with plans to issue subpoenas and secure scheduled testimony dates.
The development marks an escalation in the legislative probe, as lawmakers seek direct engagement with high-profile figures whose names have surfaced in connection with Epstein’s activities over the years. The effort to obtain testimony from both Bill and Hillary Clinton will be a focal point of the committee’s work in the weeks ahead.
