The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has directed Bill and Hillary Clinton to appear for in-person depositions as part of its ongoing investigation into the federal government's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell case. Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) sent a letter to David Kendall, the attorney representing the Clintons, underscoring that compliance with lawful subpoenas is required.
Chairman Comer stated, “The House Oversight Committee is continuing its review of the federal government’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. In July, Democrats and Republicans on this Committee approved a motion to issue subpoenas to Bill and Hillary Clinton. The Committee has since worked in good faith to schedule in-person depositions, but further delays are unacceptable. Given their history with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, any attempt by the Clintons to avoid sitting for a deposition would be in defiance of lawful subpoenas and grounds to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings. The Committee looks forward to confirming their appearance and remains committed to delivering transparency and accountability for the survivors of Epstein’s heinous crimes and for the American people.”
According to Comer's letter, Bill Clinton's deposition is set for December 17, 2025, while Hillary Clinton's is scheduled for December 18, 2025.
The decision follows a July 23 voice vote by the Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement authorizing subpoenas for both individuals. The committee intends to use findings from this investigation as it considers legislative measures aimed at improving how federal agencies address sex trafficking cases and handle non-prosecution or plea agreements related to sex-crime investigations.
