Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have postponed their planned depositions before the House Oversight Committee in connection with its investigation of the federal government’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases. The Clintons had been subpoenaed earlier in August by Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) to appear in October—Hillary on October 9 and Bill on October 14—but neither testified as scheduled. The committee is now coordinating with their legal team to find alternate dates.

The subpoenas are part of a broader probe into Epstein’s criminal activity, Maxwell’s conviction, and alleged oversight failures by the Department of Justice and related authorities. Comer has emphasized that public interest demands transparency, especially given Bill Clinton’s documented associations with Epstein—such as multiple flights on Epstein’s private jet—and reported visits to his properties. While Clinton has admitted to traveling with Epstein for philanthropic work, he has denied ever visiting Epstein’s private island or having knowledge of his criminal activity. Maxwell, for her part, has also denied that Clinton ever visited the island.

The committee seeks their testimonies not to accuse them of criminal wrongdoing, but to clarify whether any federal officials mishandled evidence or ignored red flags during the Epstein investigations. As the oversight process continues, lawmakers and observers see the Clintons’ depositions as potential keys to understanding Epstein’s network and revealing gaps in prior federal oversight. No new deposition schedule has been announced, and the timing remains uncertain.
