The German news agency (DPA) reported that former U.S. President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary have reached an agreement with Republicans to testify before a House investigative committee regarding the late American businessman Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of sex crimes.
This move aims to avoid facing a contempt of Congress vote.
Hillary Clinton is scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee on February 26, and Bill Clinton will testify on February 27. This marks the first time a former president will be compelled to testify.
The arrangement follows months of negotiations between the two sides, as Republicans seek to make the Clintons a focal point in the Oversight Committee’s investigation into Epstein, the sex crime convict who died by suicide in his New York jail cell in 2019.
