WASHINGTON (TNND) — Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have pushed back their depositions for the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
The Clintons were among several former administration officials who were subpoenaed by the Oversight Committee.
Hillary was expected to appear before the Oversight Committee on Oct. 9, but did not appear. Bill was set to testify on Tuesday, but according to the New York Post, the committee is working with the Clintons’ attorney to work with their schedules.
The spokesperson also told the New York Post that Bill’s testimony would not occur on Tuesday.
Rep. James Comer, a Republican who chairs the committee, shared the list of those who were subpoenaed. He said the Clintons are among 10 people to be called to appear for depositions.
“Everybody in America wants to know what went on in Epstein Island, and we’ve all heard reports that Bill Clinton was a frequent visitor there, so he’s a prime suspect to be deposed by the House Oversight Committee,” Comer told Newsmax.
Last month, the Oversight Committee released 200 pages of letters allegedly compiled by Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
In this collection, there were letters allegedly signed by former President Bill Clinton.
What looks like a letter signed by Clinton praises Epstein’s “childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference, and the [illegible] of friends.”
Epstein died in prison in August 2019 as he was waiting for a trial on sex trafficking charges of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking. He pleaded guilty to similar state-level charges in Florida in 2008.
Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking and other charges in connection with helping traffic minors to Epstein.
In July, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche conducted an interview with Maxwell, where she reportedly told Blanche that Bill Clinton was her friend.
“President Clinton was my friend, not Epstein’s friend,” Maxwell said in a jailhouse interview with the Justice Department official. “President Clinton liked me, and we got along terribly well.”
She also told Blanche that Bill “absolutely never” went to Epstein’s Island.
Bill has previously claimed that he did not know Epstein and Maxwell were sex-trafficking minors, even saying that he wished he had never met Epstein in his 2024 book “Citizen: My Life After the White House.”
In the book, Clinton wrote that he flew on Epstein’s private plane for work with his nonprofit, but said that traveling on the plane was “not worth the years of questioning afterward.”
The Clintons are not accused of anything related to the Epstein case.
