Clintons agree to testify after House threatens contempt in Jeffrey Epstein probe
The committee said in a post on X that the Clintons were "trying to dodge contempt by requesting special treatment," adding that "The Clintons are not above the law."
Angel Ureña, deputy chief of staff to Bill Clinton, confirmed in a post on X that both Clintons will appear before the panel.

"They negotiated in good faith. You did not," Ureña wrote. "But the former president and former Secretary of State will be there and look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone."
The committee is examining what the Clintons may have known about Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, including scrutiny of Hillary Clinton’s role overseeing U.S. efforts to combat international sex trafficking while serving as Secretary of State.
