Bill, Hillary Clinton deposition in Jeffrey Epstein investigation pushed back to next month
WASHINGTON – A Republican‑led House Oversight Committee has moved the scheduled deposition dates for former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, extending the deadline to testify about their ties to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and the convicted escort Ghislaine Maxwell.
On Monday, Committee Chair James Comer (R‑Ky.) informed Clinton lawyer David Kendall that the panel wishes the former first‑couple to appear by the middle of next month.
“Committee staff told you that the Committee is open to rescheduling the testimony but that it would need definitive new dates in January before canceling the currently scheduled dates,” Comer said. “You replied that you are unwilling to provide any alternative dates for your clients’ testimony.”
Kendall had previously told the panel that both Bill and Hillary Clinton could not attend the subpoenas’ requested dates of Wednesday and Thursday this week, as they were attending a funeral. The attorney added that neither Clinton could testify on those days.
In response, Comer accused Kendall of submitting a December 10 letter to Oversight members that “ignore[s] the Committee’s arguments, misstates relevant facts, and seeks information about the Committee’s investigation to which neither you nor your clients are entitled.”
The committee has now fixed new deposition dates: January 13 2026 for President Clinton and January 14 2026 for Secretary Clinton. Comer warned that if the Clintons do not comply, the panel will file contempt proceedings.
The Clintons’ representatives maintain that Bill Clinton never visited Epstein’s infamous private island in the Caribbean, contradicting earlier statements from a former island employee.
Steve Scully, an ex‑IT contractor on the island, appeared in the 2020 Netflix documentary “Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich,” claiming he once saw Bill Clinton on Little St. James in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Kendall has cited Oversight disclosures as evidence that his client was never there, but Comer counters that none of the released documents confirm the former president’s absence from Little St. James, nor do they absolve the need for his testimony about his relationship with Epstein and Maxwell.
