Clintons to Testify in Epstein Probe After Weeks of Legal Battle

  • Bill and Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify before Congress in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, ending weeks of legal disputes.
  • The decision follows pressure from the Republican-led US House of Representatives, which threatened criminal contempt charges.
  • This marks the first time a former US president will testify before a congressional committee since Gerald Ford in 1983.
  • The Clintons' lawyers initially called subpoenas "unenforceable" and accused Republicans of partisan politics.
  • Bill Clinton has consistently denied knowledge of Epstein's sex crimes, despite appearing in decades-old photos with Epstein.

Why It Matters: Bill and Hillary Clinton will testify in the Epstein investigation, a historic move after intense political pressure.
