WASHINGTON — Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have agreed to appear and give testimony before the House Oversight Committee as part of its probe into Jeffrey Epstein, the former president’s deputy chief of staff said Monday.
Angel Ureña announced the decision on X (formerly Twitter), saying the Clintons "negotiated in good faith" and will attend the committee session. He added that they have already given sworn accounts of what they know, which he suggested the committee had disregarded.
"They negotiated in good faith. You did not. They told you under oath what they know, but you don’t care. But the former President and former Secretary of State will be there. They look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone," Ureña wrote on X.
The announcement confirms the Clintons’ cooperation with the committee’s inquiries related to Epstein, signaling their intention to respond to lawmakers’ questions in person. The post on X did not detail when the testimony would take place.
