After months of back-and-forth avoiding, wheeling, dealing, and spinning, Bill and Hillary Clinton have finally cried uncle and agreed to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer’s terms regarding their testifying in front of Congress. The committee wants to know: what information do they have on the late pedophile financier, Jeffrey Epstein?
Although the Clintons have made several high-falutin’, “danger to democracy” statements saying they would never agree to Comer’s terms, they ended up doing just that:

Once it became clear that the House of Representatives would hold them in contempt, the Clintons completely CAVED and will appear for transcribed, filmed depositions this month.
Former President Clinton will appear for a deposition on February 27, 2026 and former…
Former President Clinton will appear for a deposition on February 27, 2026 and former Secretary Clinton will appear for a deposition on February 26, 2026.
After delaying and defying duly issued subpoenas for six months, the House Oversight Committee moved swiftly to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings in response to their non-compliance. We look forward to now questioning the Clintons as part of our investigation into the horrific crimes of Epstein and Maxwell, to deliver transparency and accountability for the American people and for survivors.
It’s been a long road, as the pair has been notably difficult to work with:
RULES FOR THEE: There You Go: Oversight Committee Votes on Holding Clintons in Contempt - They Won't Like the Result
Updated: Did the Clintons Just Bend the Knee to Oversight Committee in Contempt Case?
Bill Clinton appeared in numerous photos with Epstein, and the weird financier had a portrait in his Manhattan townhouse of the former president wearing a blue dress. No, I can’t explain that one. Bill has feverishly worked to avoid giving sworn testimony about their relationship, but it looks like the threat of contempt of Congress was just too much:
The Clintons resisted the subpoenas, but House Republicans — with support from a few Democrats — had advanced criminal contempt of Congress charges to a potential vote this week. It threatened the Clintons with the potential for substantial fines and even prison time if they had been convicted.
Even as the Clintons bowed to that pressure, the negotiating between GOP lawmakers and attorneys for the Clintons was marked by distrust as they wrangled over the details of the deposition.
For now, at least, the endless legal wrangling is over, and Hillary will finally grace the house on February 26, while Bill is scheduled to appear on the 27th. There’s still one question we’ll have to wait for an answer to, though: Will they actually show up? Or will they come up with some new obstructing tactic?
It would not surprise me in the slightest if it were the latter.
They’ve certainly shown to be a slippery duo in this matter, and although the former president has long been considered untrustworthy (“It depends on what the meaning of the word is is”), their latest shenanigans have only further shredded their already dubious legacy.
It’s still unclear whether the proceedings will be public and/or televised, or if they will be behind closed doors. I hope for the televised option, because I would sure as heck watch that show.
