"Former U.S. President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, will testify in a congressional investigation into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a staffer said on Monday. The decision could head off a planned vote in the Republican-led House of Representatives to hold the two prominent Democrats in contempt, which could lead to criminal charges."
""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," the Clintons' deputy chief of staff, Angel Urena, said on social media."
Bill and Hillary Clinton will testify in a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. The testimony may avert a planned Republican-led House vote to hold them in contempt, which could have produced criminal charges. The U.S. Justice Department released millions of internal documents related to Epstein that revealed ties to numerous prominent figures in politics, finance, academia and business. House Speaker Mike Johnson said lawyers were reviewing whether to pause contempt votes and welcomed the Clintons' agreement to testify. The House Oversight Committee had recommended contempt after the Clintons declined in-person testimony, while the Clintons said they offered cooperation and called the probe partisan.
