The appearances of former President Bill Clinton and former
Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton in the investigation related
to Jeffrey Epstein have been postponed until January, after Clinton's defense
cited a "funeral conflict" as the reason for not appearing on the
originally scheduled date.
Following the postponement, the chairman of the House
Oversight Committee, Republican James Comer, announced the assignment of new
dates for the depositions: January 13 for Bill Clinton and January 14 for
Hillary Clinton. Comer emphasized that the committee expects both to appear
without further delay.
The lawmaker accompanied the announcement with a formal
warning, stating that if the Clintons fail to comply with the new deadlines,
the committee will immediately initiate contempt proceedings. The decision increases
the political and legal pressure in an investigation that continues to generate
public attention and scrutiny of high-profile figures.
The case is part of Congress's efforts to clarify potential
wrongdoing and negligence related to Epstein's network, and it foreshadows a
start to the year marked by institutional tensions and legal consequences if
the subpoenas are not heeded.
