Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are set to provide depositions today and tomorrow, respectively, to the Republican-led House Oversight Committee. However, as of last night, neither has confirmed their attendance, according to a committee spokesperson.

“The Clintons have not confirmed their appearances for their subpoenaed depositions,” the spokesperson stated. “They are obligated under the law to appear, and we expect them to do so. If the Clintons do not appear for their depositions, the House Oversight Committee will begin contempt of Congress proceedings.”

Bill Clinton is scheduled to testify at 10 a.m. today, with Hillary expected to follow tomorrow morning. The couple received subpoenas in August as part of the committee’s investigation into the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, which also involves several former attorneys general and former FBI Director James Comey. Their depositions were initially slated for October but have faced delays.

In December, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, indicated he would postpone the depositions once again due to the Clintons' attendance at a funeral. However, Comer criticized the Clintons’ legal representation, claiming that attorney David Kendall was “unwilling to provide any alternative dates for your clients’ testimony,” prompting new dates to be set for today and tomorrow.

Angel Urena, a spokesperson for Bill Clinton, expressed frustration with Comer, stating, “For months, we’ve been offering the same exact thing he accepted from the rest, but he refuses and won’t explain why. Make of that what you will.” Similarly, Nick Merrill, a spokesperson for Hillary Clinton, questioned the relevance of her involvement in the investigation, remarking, “Since this started, we’ve been asking what the hell Hillary Clinton has to do with this, and he hasn’t been able to come up with an answer.”

The investigation has garnered public attention partly due to the initial release of Epstein files by the Justice Department last month, which included multiple images of Bill Clinton from the early 2000s. These photos captured him during flights on Epstein’s private plane for Clinton Foundation trips, long before Epstein faced any criminal charges related to sex crimes.

Despite the scrutiny, Clinton has denied any wrongdoing. His spokesperson recently urged former President Donald Trump to ensure that all images and references to Clinton from the newly available Epstein files should be disclosed.

As lawmakers prepare for the potential fallout of the Clintons’ testimonies, House Speaker Mike Johnson from Louisiana emphasized the importance of their compliance, stating that it “would be contempt of Congress” if they fail to attend the depositions this week.

The outcome of this situation could have significant implications not only for the Clintons but also for the political landscape as the investigation unfolds, highlighting ongoing tensions and the continued scrutiny surrounding figures associated with Epstein. As the depositions approach, many are left wondering how the Clintons will navigate this high-stakes political environment.
