House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) has stated that former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton must appear for scheduled depositions or risk facing contempt of Congress proceedings. The depositions are set for December 17, 2025, for Bill Clinton and December 18, 2025, for Hillary Clinton.
“It has been more than four months since Bill and Hillary Clinton were subpoenaed to sit for depositions related to our investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s horrific crimes. Throughout that time, the former President and former Secretary of State have delayed, obstructed, and largely ignored the Committee staff’s efforts to schedule their testimony. If the Clintons fail to appear for their depositions next week or schedule a date for early January, the Oversight Committee will begin contempt of Congress proceedings to hold them accountable,” said Chairman Comer.
On July 23, 2025, both Republican and Democratic members of the Federal Law Enforcement Subcommittee voted by voice vote to issue subpoenas to ten individuals in connection with an investigation into crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The list included both Bill and Hillary Clinton. Chairman Comer issued these subpoenas on August 5, 2025. According to correspondence with the Clintons’ attorney, they are expected to be the only individuals among those subpoenaed who plan not to comply.
