"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 in a post on social media. Urena posted the announcement above a House Oversight Committee statement from earlier on Monday that accused the Clintons of defying lawful subpoenas and of trying to dodge contempt by requesting special treatment."
"The Clintons are not above the law, the Oversight Committee said. Last week, the Oversight Committee recommended the couple be held in contempt for refusing to testify about their relationship with Epstein. The Clintons had offered to cooperate with the committee's probe into Epstein, but refused to appear in person, saying the investigation was a partisan exercise aimed at protecting President Donald Trump, who was a longtime friend of Epstein."
Bill and Hillary Clinton will testify in a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. The decision could head off a planned Republican-led House vote to hold the couple in contempt for previously refusing to appear, which could lead to criminal charges. Their deputy chief of staff Angel Urena announced their willingness to testify and said they aimed to set a precedent applicable to everyone. The House Oversight Committee accused the Clintons of defying lawful subpoenas and seeking special treatment. The Clintons had offered cooperation but declined in-person testimony, calling the probe partisan and aimed at protecting President Donald Trump. Republicans and Democrats dispute the probe's motives.
