Former US President Bill Clinton will testify before Congress in the Epstein case

Washington – Former U.S. President Bill Clinton (1993-2001) and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton agreed this Monday to testify before the House of Representatives in the investigation into the case of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The Clintons’ appearance before the Lower House to testify was confirmed by the former president’s spokesperson, Ángel Ureña, in a post on X.

Ureña responded to a letter from the House Oversight Committee saying that the Clintons had “acted in good faith” and that the senators “had not”. Former President Clinton “will be there”, Ureña highlighted and said that the assistance to testify is expected to set a precedent in this type of case. The subpoena of Bill and Hillary Clinton is part of a broader investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s network and the possible connections of public figures to his crimes. Although neither has been accused of wrongdoing, lawmakers seek to clarify the links and communications that may have existed during the years Epstein operated in high-profile political and financial circles. Last week, the Department of Justice released over three million pages of documents, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images related to the investigation. Lawmakers and victims criticized the process for delays, flawed wording, and the involuntary exposure of survivors’ names, including dozens of minors, leading to the temporary removal of thousands of files while sensitive data protection procedures are reviewed. For his part, U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday at the White House that he believed the Justice Department should drop the Epstein case and again denied any involvement with the magnate Epstein.
