From Politico: Bill and Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee as part of the panel’s investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, an Oversight aide said Monday evening.
It’s a remarkable reversal for the former president and secretary of state, who were adamant they would defy committee-issued subpoenas and risk imprisonment by the Trump Justice Department as the House prepared to vote Wednesday to hold them both in contempt of Congress.
After both skipped their scheduled depositions earlier this year, the Oversight Committee voted on a bipartisan basis in January to approve contempt measures for each of them.
Although both have said they had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes, they have maintained that the subpoenas were not tied to a legitimate legislative purpose, rendering them invalid. They also complained the GOP-led exercise was designed to embarrass and put them in jail.
It is unclear what the new date for their congressional testimonies will be.
The Clintons tried to set their own conditions for testifying before Congress, but House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer politely told them to go pound sand.
“The Clintons are in contempt of Congress. Their attorneys’ latest letter makes clear they still expect special treatment because of their last name. The Clintons do not get to dictate the terms of lawful subpoenas. I have rejected their latest offer,” Comer announced earlier Monday.

Rep. William Timmons (R-SC) mocked Hillary Clinton by throwing an old tweet back in her face.
On December 5, 2019, Clinton had sneered against President Donald Trump, writing, “In the United States of America, no one is above the law.”

“No one is above the law. Not even the Clintons. Accountability is coming,” declared Comer on Friday.

On her X page, Hillary Clinton has been claiming that she has to save democracy and touting her Christian faith.
No knight in shining armor is coming to save democracy. We’re the ones who will have to save our democracy and our rights.

I believe that Christians like me—and people of faith more generally—have a responsibility to stand up to the extremists who use religion to divide our society and undermine our democracy.
