JUST IN: Hillary Clinton Heads Into Closed-Door Epstein Showdown Today

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is expected to sit for a congressional deposition Thursday as lawmakers intensify their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and the powerful figures orbiting the convicted sex offender.

Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to follow on Friday, capping months of resistance that nearly landed both Clintons in contempt of Congress.

The bipartisan probe has brought Republicans and Democrats together in a rare push for answers about Epstein’s network, his criminal enterprise and the well-connected people who moved in his circle.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said he intends to release video and transcripts of the depositions as quickly as possible once the Clintons approve them.

The testimony comes after the committee voted unanimously last July to subpoena the former first couple. When the Clintons continued refusing to appear, the panel voted in January to hold both in contempt of Congress, a move that could have triggered a criminal referral to the Justice Department had it advanced to the House floor.

Only then did the Clintons reverse course.

Hillary Clinton has insisted she never knew Epstein personally, though she acknowledged crossing paths with his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, now serving prison time for sex trafficking.

That ends today.

“We have a very clear record that we’ve been willing to talk about, which my husband has said he took some rides on Epstein’s airplane for his charitable work,” she told the BBC. “I don’t recall ever meeting him.”

She added, “They are accused, and in both cases, were convicted, of horrific crimes against girls and women. That should be the focus.”

The Clintons have long maintained they knew nothing about Epstein’s abuse and cut ties before the full scope of his crimes became public. They have also called for the complete release of the Epstein files.

“We have nothing to hide,” Hillary Clinton told the BBC. “We have called for the full release of these files repeatedly. We think sunlight is the best disinfectant.”

Still, Republicans have made clear they were not going to let the Clintons dodge sworn testimony forever.

In an eight-page letter sent in January explaining their initial refusal to cooperate, the Clintons wrote: “Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and its people, no matter the consequences. For us, now is that time.”

Hillary Clinton also demanded the testimony be held in public, accusing Republicans of turning the matter into political theater.

“For six months, we engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith. We told them what we know, under oath. They ignored all of it,” she wrote on social media. “So let’s stop the games. If you want this fight … let’s have it—in public.”

Committee Republicans pushed back, saying the Clintons’ lawyers accepted deposition terms at the last minute and then objected to standard video procedures.

Bill Clinton’s name has appeared for years in Epstein-related files and flight logs showing he traveled on Epstein’s jet, though he has denied ever visiting Epstein’s private island. No one other than Maxwell has been charged in connection with Epstein’s crimes, and appearing in the files does not by itself indicate criminal wrongdoing.
