Bill and Hillary Clinton caved Monday to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer’s (R-Ky.) demand that they testify before the panel about their relationships with deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
“I understand that the Clintons have agreed to appear for depositions and have agreed to the terms that you laid out in your most recent letter,” Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-Va.) revealed during a House Rules Committee hearing on Comer’s push to force a vote holding the former president and first lady in contempt of Congress.
A spokesman for Bill Clinton appeared to confirm the development.
“They negotiated in good faith. You did not. They told you under oath what they know, but you don’t care. But the former President and former Secretary of State will be there,” Angel Urena wrote on X.
“They look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone,” he added.
Earlier Monday, Comer had rejected an offer from the couple proposing a “limitation on the scope of President Clinton’s testimony” and a sworn declaration from ex-Secretary of State, in lieu of depositions.
The House Rules Committee took a break shortly after it learned of the new letter to give Comer some time to reassess whether a contempt vote was still necessary.
