Bill and Hill aka The Clintons have agreed to testify before the House of Representatives in the Epstein Files matter. At a time convenient to them or if they can’t find a way to get out of the testimony that is. Don’t get your popcorn ready yet. The Clintoons have agreed to depositions, not an open House Oversight Committee hearing with a gavel and yelling.
You may remember that the middle of January, Bill and Hill thumbed their noses at Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and refused to testify. Comer then moved to hold them in contempt.
For a while it was a stalemate. According to the New York Times:
For months, the Clintons had been adamant that they would not comply with subpoenas from Representative James R. Comer of Kentucky, the panel’s Republican chairman, that they have described as invalid and legally unenforceable. They accused Mr. Comer of being part of a plot to target them as President Trump’s political adversaries and promised to fight him on the issue for as long as it took.
But after some Democrats on the panel joined Republicans in a vote to recommend charging them with criminal contempt, an extraordinary first step in referring them to the Justice Department for prosecution, the Clintons ultimately waved the white flag and agreed to fully comply with Mr. Comer’s demands.
Roughly half of the Oversight Committee Democrats voted to hold them in contempt, per Time:
The nine Democrats who voted in favor of the Bill Clinton resolution are Reps. Maxwell Frost of Florida, Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois, Summer Lee of Pennsylvania, Stephen Lynch and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Emily Randall of Washington, Lateefah Simon of California, Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. Lee, Stansbury and Tlaib also voted for the Hillary Clinton resolution.
Back to the New York Times:
In an email sent to Mr. Comer on Monday evening, attorneys for the Clintons said their clients would “appear for depositions on mutually agreeable dates” and asked that the House not move forward with a contempt vote, which had been slated for Wednesday.
“They negotiated in good faith. You did not,” spokesmen for the Clintons said in a statement. “They told under oath what they know, but you did not care. But the former president and former secretary of state will be there.”
Remember, “no one is above the law” except those the media favors.
This is my favorite part. Ready?
In a letter on Saturday to Mr. Comer, which was obtained by The New York Times, Mr. Clinton’s lawyers tried one more time to put some guardrails on potential interviews with the Clintons. They said that Mr. Clinton would agree to sit for a four-hour transcribed interview with the entire committee, something he had previously described as an inappropriate and unprecedented request to make of a former president.
The lawyers asked that Mrs. Clinton, who has said she never met or spoke to Mr. Epstein, be allowed to make a sworn declaration instead of testifying. But they said that she, too, would submit to an in-person interview if the committee insisted on it, “with appropriate adjustments for the paucity of information she has to offer in this matter,” according to the letter.
But Mr. Comer flatly rejected the offer, calling it “unreasonable” and arguing that four hours of testimony from Mr. Clinton was inadequate given that he was a “loquacious individual” who might seek to run out the clock.
Loquacious? Ya think? He could talk the hind legs off a horse. More:
“Your clients’ desire for special treatment is both frustrating and an affront to the American people’s desire for transparency,” Mr. Comer wrote in a letter to the Clintons’ lawyers on Monday that was also obtained by The New York Times.
In that letter, Mr. Comer also rejected the demand from Mr. Clinton that the scope of the interview be limited to matters related to Mr. Epstein. Mr. Comer said the former president “likely has an artificially narrow definition in mind” of what matters would be related to the Epstein investigation.
Some of us remember the “meaning of “is” is from the Paula Jones deposition:
Mr. Clinton has not aged well.
Bill and Hill will stonewall:
I have a feeling Bill & Hillary are going to stonewall claiming they don't remember
Why as POTUS did Bill have Epstein in the WH on 14 different days? 1993-1995
Clinton claim he was aiding them in setting up the Clinton Foundation but Bill was POTUS through 2000— Terry Foster (@fuzzyfamily1) February 3, 2026
They will stonewall the sauce out of this attempt to call them in. I wrote a post ten years ago comparing Bill and Hill to Tom and Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby. They smash everything up and just move on.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for The Clintoons to testify on anything.

They have agreed to: Plead the Fifth Amendment or claim, “I cannot remember” The Clintons are indeed “above the law”; they are untouchable!
Wonder if Bill is going to try “Can you define the word ‘is’?” And I’m sure Hillary is going to make Bill’s life more unpleasant over this.
