Bill Clinton Faces Congress Firestorm In Epstein Probe

Former President Bill Clinton is set to face a high-stakes grilling Friday from the House Oversight Committee as lawmakers intensify their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and the powerful figures tied to the convicted sex offender.

The closed-door deposition is expected to begin at 11 a.m. at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center in Westchester County, near the Clintons’ longtime home in New York.

Republicans have been pushing for months to question Bill Clinton about his relationship with Epstein, with negotiations dragging on as committee lawyers sparred with Clinton’s legal team over the terms of the interview. Only after the threat of contempt charges did the former president agree to appear.

His testimony comes just one day after former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sat for her own lengthy deposition before the panel.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said Thursday that lawmakers still have major questions, even while stressing that neither Clinton is currently accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.

“No one’s accusing, at this moment, the Clintons of any wrongdoing. They’re going to have due process,” Comer said. “But we have a lot of questions, and the purpose of the whole investigation is to try to understand many things about Epstein.”

Comer also told reporters he expected Bill Clinton’s deposition to last even longer than Hillary Clinton’s.

Unlike his wife, Bill Clinton enters the room with a long-documented history of contact with Epstein. His name and image have surfaced repeatedly in records tied to the disgraced financier, and flight logs show he traveled on Epstein’s private plane. Still, neither Bill nor Hillary Clinton has been implicated in Epstein’s crimes.

Hillary Clinton used her own deposition to blast the probe as politically motivated, calling the investigation a “fishing expedition” and accusing Republicans of trying to use her testimony to shift attention away from President Trump.

“A committee endeavoring to stop human trafficking would seek to understand what specific steps are needed to fix a system that allowed Epstein to get away with his crimes in 2008,” she told the panel, according to her opening remarks.

“But that’s not happening. Instead, you have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump’s actions and to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers.”

She also maintained that she could not recall any contact with Epstein and said she had no new information beyond what she had already submitted to the committee.

Bill Clinton’s deposition is expected to draw far more scrutiny because of his past appearances in Epstein files and flight records. Lawmakers from both parties, along with committee staff on both sides, are expected to question him.

The committee has also interviewed former Attorney General Bill Barr and former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta as part of its wider probe.

Both Clinton depositions are expected to be released on video later, meaning whatever is said behind closed doors may soon be public.
