Overview
- A House Oversight spokesperson said Bill Clinton’s deposition planned for Tuesday will not proceed as scheduling talks continue.
- Hillary Clinton did not appear for a slated Oct. 9 session, and both depositions are being rescheduled.
- Chairman James Comer subpoenaed both in early August for the panel’s review of federal actions tied to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, calling it his most challenging subpoena and noting some Democratic support.
- The committee has recently released materials, including 200 pages of letters attributed to Maxwell and a note purportedly signed by Bill Clinton from Epstein’s 2003 “birthday book.”
- Bill Clinton acknowledges flying on Epstein’s plane and denies visiting Little St. James, and Maxwell—serving a 20-year sentence—told a Justice Department official he “absolutely never” went; neither Clinton is accused of wrongdoing.
