Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been formally subpoenaed to appear for in-person depositions as part of the House Oversight Committee’s ongoing investigation into the notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
The subpoenas, issued in August 2025, require the Clintons to provide testimony under oath regarding their personal and professional connections with Epstein and Maxwell. Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer emphasized that their participation is critical to the committee’s mission of examining the networks and influence of Epstein and Maxwell, as well as ensuring accountability for high-profile individuals linked to their operations.
In a letter to the Clintons’ attorney, Comer stressed that any delay in scheduling or appearance would be unacceptable and could trigger potential contempt of Congress proceedings. According to the committee, both former officials possess information directly relevant to ongoing congressional efforts to understand how Epstein operated and how government and private actors may have interacted with him.
The depositions are scheduled for December 17, 2025 for Bill Clinton and December 18, 2025 for Hillary Clinton. Compliance is crucial, as refusal could escalate legal and political tensions, potentially resulting in a historic showdown between Congress and former first-family members.
Public interest in these depositions is intense. Bill Clinton’s past travel on Epstein’s private jet, along with social and financial connections, has drawn scrutiny for years. Hillary Clinton’s knowledge of Epstein-related activities is also under examination, particularly given her role in public office during critical periods of Epstein’s criminal activities.
The Oversight Committee has also requested related records from the Justice Department to ensure a comprehensive review of the circumstances surrounding Epstein and Maxwell. The goal, Comer asserts, is not political, but rather focused on systemic reform and justice for victims of sexual abuse and trafficking.
Legal experts note that these depositions could set important precedents for congressional oversight of former presidents and other high-ranking officials. They highlight that testimony under oath could uncover previously undisclosed interactions, financial ties, or knowledge that the Clintons may have had regarding Epstein’s crimes.
For many Americans, the hearings represent an opportunity to gain clarity and accountability in one of the most high-profile criminal investigations of the past two decades. The outcome of these depositions could impact public perception, future legislation on oversight, and the broader understanding of how elite networks may influence or circumvent the law.
As the December dates approach, all eyes are on the Clintons’ response. Their compliance—or resistance—will likely shape the next chapter in the ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the powerful individuals associated with them.
