Bill, Hillary Clinton told to appear for depositions in Jeffrey Epstein

House Oversight Chair James Comer has ordered Bill and Hillary Clinton to give sworn depositions about their past connections to Jeffrey Epstein, reigniting scrutiny over a subject long surrounded by controversy.

The Clintons’ legal team reportedly sought to respond in writing, but the committee insisted on live questioning, signaling a preference for direct accountability rather than filtered statements.

When the depositions take place, the gap between the Clintons and Epstein’s world will shrink to a conference table. Photographs, travel logs, and invitations will be examined under oath, moving beyond speculation into formal record.

Experts do not anticipate a dramatic confession. Instead, what may surface is a detailed, uneven account of recollections — dates, denials, and contradictions — offering insight while also raising new questions. Supporters may cite human error, while critics may see avoidance.

Beyond political debate, the proceedings underscore a broader principle: public trust cannot thrive in secrecy. The credibility of institutions depends on transparency, not just press statements, but what is formally recorded under oath.

The Epstein network, and the silence surrounding it, illustrates how power can shield wrongdoing and how easily society overlooks uncomfortable truths about the influential.

Regardless of legal outcomes, these depositions will become part of America’s historical record — a testament to how wealth, influence, and moral compromise often intersect. They also serve as a reminder that delayed accountability still represents a form of justice.
