Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have postponed their scheduled depositions before the House Oversight Committee, which is investigating the federal government’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases. Hillary Clinton was expected to testify on October 9, while Bill Clinton was due on October 14. However, both depositions have been delayed as their attorneys coordinate scheduling with committee officials

The subpoenas, issued in early August by Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY), are part of a broader probe into Epstein’s prosecution, Maxwell’s conviction, and potential Justice Department oversights. Comer emphasized public interest in uncovering the truth about Epstein’s private island and noted reports of Bill Clinton being a frequent visitor, making him a key figure in the investigation

Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died by suicide in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on child sex trafficking charges. Maxwell, convicted in 2021 for conspiring with Epstein to abuse minors, is serving a 20-year sentence. Epstein’s connections to influential figures have drawn renewed scrutiny, including his documented visits to the Clinton White House and donations to the White House Historical Association
