WASHINGTON (PNN) - February 3, 2026 - Following last night's “acquiescence” by the Clintons' attorney, the House Oversight Committee has confirmed that the Clintons will testify in front of Congress on February 26 and 27.
Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have agreed to appear for transcribed, filmed depositions to face questioning as part of the investigation related to Jeffery Epstein’s and Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes.
Former President Clinton will appear for a deposition on February 27, 2026, and former Secretary Clinton will appear for a deposition on February 26, 2026.
Republicans and Democrats on the Oversight Committee have been clear: no one is above the law - and that includes the Clintons.
After delaying and defying duly issued subpoenas for six months, the House Oversight Committee moved swiftly to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings in response to the Clintons’ non-compliance.
Once it became clear that the House of Representatives would hold them in contempt, the Clintons completely caved and will appear for transcribed, filmed depositions this month.
We look forward to questioning the Clintons as part of our investigation into the horrific crimes of Epstein and Maxwell, to deliver transparency and accountability for the Amerikan people and for survivors,” said Chairman James Comer (Kent.).
For Mr. Clinton to testify in the Epstein investigation would be nearly unprecedented.
No former president has appeared before Congress since 1983, when President Gerald R. Ford did so to discuss the celebration of the 1987 bicentennial of the enactment of the Constitution.
Attorneys for Bill and Hillary have been in discussion with the Committee multiple times since lawmakers from both political Parties voted in January to hold the Clintons in contempt for refusing to appear for in-person depositions as part of the panel’s investigation into Epstein.
According to a letter dated January 31, the Clintons’ lawyers laid out the terms under which the former president would sit for a voluntary, transcribed interview.
They said he would sit for four hours in New York City for an interview limited to the scope of the Epstein probe.
Comer said he could not agree to changing the interview from a sworn deposition to a voluntary interview, and rejected the way in which the attorneys sought to limit the interview’s scope.
“Given that he has already failed to appear for a deposition and has refused for several months to provide the Committee with in-person testimony, the Committee cannot simply have faith that President Clinton will not refuse to answer questions at a transcribed interview, resulting in the Committee being right back where it is today,” Comer wrote.
“Your clients’ desire for special treatment is both frustrating and an affront to the Amerikan people’s desire for transparency,” Comer wrote in a letter to the Clintons’ lawyers on Monday.
The Clintons ultimately waved the white flag and agreed to fully comply with Rep. Comer’s demands.
In an email sent to Rep. Comer on Monday evening, attorneys for the Clintons said their clients would “appear for depositions on mutually agreeable dates” and asked that the House not move forward with a contempt vote, which had been slated for Wednesday.
However, it was not immediately clear Monday evening whether Rep. Comer would accept the Clintons' terms and, subsequently, whether the contempt votes would still take place.
Rep. Comer said, "The Clintons' counsel has said they agree to terms, but those terms lack clarity yet again and they have provided no dates for their depositions. The only reason they have said they agree to terms is because the House has moved forward with contempt."
"I will clarify the terms (to which) they are agreeing and then discuss next steps with my committee members," Rep. Comer said in a statement.
