Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have postponed their scheduled depositions before the House Oversight Committee as part of the panel’s ongoing investigation into the federal government’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases, according to congressional officials.
A spokesperson for the committee confirmedMonday that neither Clinton appeared on their originally scheduled dates. Hillary Clinton had been expected to testify last week, while Bill Clinton was slated to sit for questioning on Tuesday.
“The deposition won’t occur tomorrow,” the spokesperson told The New York Post, adding that the committee is “having conversations with the Clintons’ attorney to accommodate their schedules.” No new dates have been announced.
The subpoenas were issued in early August by Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) as part of the committee’s broader review of Epstein’s prosecution history, Maxwell’s conviction, and the federal government’s management of related investigations. Comer has said the panel intends to examine potential lapses in the Justice Department’s oversight of Epstein’s activities and connections to high-profile individuals.
