Epstein probe: Bill, Hillary Clinton to testify ahead of Congress contempt vote

The former US President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify in Epstein congressional probe ahead of contempt showdown.

The decision comes on the heels of Republicans-led House of Representatives’ approval to hold Clintons in contempt for refusing to appear before the House Oversight Committee that would lead to criminal charges.

Taking to social media, Clintons' deputy chief of staff, Angel Urena, said “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.”

After Gerald Ford’s testimony in 1983, it will be the first time a former US president will testify to Congress.

For months, the prominent Democrats were at loggerheads with the Congress as they refused to give explanations related to their relationship with late convicted sex offender, Jaffery Epstein.

The US Department of Justice on Friday released three millions documents related to Epstein, exposing the Epstein’s links to many high-profile figures belonging to various industries, including Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates.

Given the Clintons’ timely decision to testify in Congress, it is worth-asking whether the House would hold up contempt vote against the US former president and the former Secretary of State or not.

According to House Speaker Mike Johnson, as reported by Reuters “They are working on that right now. The lawyers are looking into the details.”

However, the Speaker welcomed the decision as the controversies surrounding Epstein files have been gaining ground.

In the early 2000s, Bill Clinton was reported to fly on Epstein's plane several times after leaving the Presidential office.

According to Clinton, he had regretted having the relationship with the sex offenders, but he knew nothing about his criminal activities and deplorable acts.
