Clintons Agree to Testify in House Epstein Probe, Averting Contempt Vote

• Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton agreed to testify in the House investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
• The agreement came late Monday, just as Rep. James Comer was advancing criminal contempt of Congress charges against them.
• Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, stated that a written agreement was not yet finalized and he was not immediately dropping the contempt charges.
• The Clintons had previously resisted subpoenas for months, offering a transcribed interview for Bill Clinton and a sworn declaration for Hillary Clinton, which Comer rejected.
• The potential contempt vote marked a grave moment, as it could have been the first time a former president faced such severe punishment.

Why It Matters: The Clintons agreed to testify in the Epstein probe, narrowly avoiding a historic contempt of Congress vote.
