Bill and Hillary Clinton agree to testify in U.S. House Epstein investigation

Описание: Former U.S. President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, will testify in a congressional investigation into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a staffer said on Monday.

The decision could head off a planned vote in the Republican-led House of Representatives to hold the two prominent Democrats in contempt, which could lead to criminal charges.

The U.S. Justice Department’s recent release of millions of internal documents related to Epstein has revealed the late financier and sex offender’s ties to many prominent people in politics, finance, academia and business - both before and after he pleaded guilty in 2008 to prostitution charges.


Asked if the House would hold up its contempt votes against the Clintons, House Speaker Mike Johnson told Reuters: “They’re working on that right now. The lawyers are looking into the details.”
