Testimony
Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton agreed to testify before a House committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein.
Context
The House Oversight Committee had been seeking testimony from the Clintons for months as part of its investigation into Epstein and his associates. The Clintons resisted subpoenas, leading the Republican-led committee to advance contempt resolutions last month against both Clintons, with several Democrats joining Republicans on the votes.
Agreement Reached
On Monday, the Clintons agreed to testify just days before a planned House vote that could have held them in contempt of Congress and resulted in criminal penalties.
