Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Clintons Agree to Testify in Epstein Congressional Probe

Caption:

Clintons Agree to Testify in Epstein Congressional Probe. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify in a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, ending a months-long standoff with the House Oversight Committee. The decision comes just days before lawmakers were set to vote on holding the couple in criminal contempt for refusing to appear. It will mark the first time a former U.S. president has testified before a congressional panel in more than four decades. The Clintons say they have already provided sworn written statements and insist they have no additional information about Epstein, who died in jail in 2019. Bill Clinton has acknowledged knowing Epstein in the early 2000s but denies any awareness of his crimes and says he cut ties years before they became public. Republican lawmakers say the testimony is necessary to establish accountability, while the Clintons accuse the investigation of being politically motivated. Either way, the hearings are set to reignite scrutiny around one of the most sensitive scandals in modern U.S. politics.
