Bill and Hillary Clinton have managed to sidestep their scheduled depositions in the House Oversight Committee’s deep dive into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
The saga, centered on the federal probe into Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, has seen the Clintons delay their testimonies originally set for early October 2025, as the committee works to reschedule around their availability.
The New York Post reported that Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier who died in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on child sex trafficking charges, had ties to powerful figures, including Bill Clinton, who visited the White House at least 17 times starting in 1993.
Epstein wasn’t just a visitor—he shelled out $10,000 to the White House Historical Association that same year, per records from the former First Lady’s files, raising eyebrows about the nature of his influence.
Bill Clinton has admitted to flying on Epstein’s private jet, dubbed the “Lolita Express,” for work tied to the Clinton Global Initiative, though he’s quick to clarify in his 2024 book that he never set foot on Epstein’s infamous island.
“I wish I had never met him,” Clinton wrote in “Citizen: My Life After the White House,” lamenting the endless scrutiny that followed those plane rides. Well, regret won’t erase the flight logs, and Americans deserve answers about what those trips entailed.
Fast forward to August 2025, when Oversight Chairman James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, issued subpoenas to both Clintons as part of the investigation into the government’s handling of the Epstein-Maxwell case.
Hillary Clinton was slated to testify on October 9, 2025, but didn’t show, while Bill’s deposition, set for October 14, was confirmed a day prior to be postponed by a committee spokesperson.
“Everybody in America wants to know what went on in Epstein Island, and we’ve all heard reports that Bill Clinton was a frequent visitor there, so he’s a prime suspect to be deposed,” Comer told Newsmax in August 2025. If that doesn’t light a fire under this investigation, what will?
Meanwhile, Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of sex trafficking minors alongside Epstein and now serving a 20-year sentence after her 2020 arrest, has her own spin on the Clinton connection, having been photographed at a Clinton Global Initiative event in 2013.
Maxwell claimed in a jailhouse interview earlier in 2025 that Bill Clinton was her friend, not Epstein’s, and insisted he never visited the island. Her words might carry less weight than a paperclip given her current address, but they add another layer to this murky mess.
Bill Clinton, for his part, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein and Maxwell’s criminal activities, even as his name pops up in a 2003 “birthday book” for Epstein alongside other high-profile figures.
The Oversight Committee is now in talks with the Clintons’ attorney to find new dates for their depositions, a delay that only fuels public frustration over accountability for those in Epstein’s orbit.
With Comer describing the Clinton subpoenas as the toughest he’s ever issued—yet noting bipartisan support for them—this investigation isn’t just a partisan witch hunt; it’s a rare moment of unity in pursuit of truth.
Epstein’s shadow looms large, and while the Clintons aren’t accused of crimes in this case, their proximity to such a notorious figure demands transparency.
The American people aren’t asking for conspiracy theories; they’re asking for clarity, and these depositions are a critical step. Let’s hope the rescheduling doesn’t turn into a permanent dodge.
