US House of Representatives subpoenas Bill and Hillary Clinton to testify about their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has called on former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary to appear before Congress to testify about their ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
According to an official letter from Comer to the Clinton family’s lawyer, David Kendall, the hearing dates were set as follows:
– Bill Clinton: December 17, 2025, 10:00 a.m. local time, in Washington, D.C.
– Hillary Clinton: December 18, 2025, 10:00 a.m., in Washington, D.C.
Comer noted in a post on X that in July members of both the Republican and Democratic parties approved the subpoenas, saying that any further delay is unacceptable.
“The failure of former President Clinton and his wife, Hillary, a former secretary of state, to appear before Congress, in light of their known ties to Epstein, would be a violation of the subpoenas and could expose them to contempt of Congress,” he said.
On Wednesday, President Trump announced on Truth Social that he had signed legislation to release classified files related to Jeffrey Epstein, which could also reveal aspects of the relationships of prominent political figures, including US presidents, with the investor accused of sexual exploitation of minors.
At the same time, Trump stressed the need to investigate Bill Clinton’s possible involvement in Epstein’s crimes.
The Clintons were subpoenaed in early August, at the behest of James Comer as part of the committee’s review of the federal investigation into Epstein’s case.
Commenting on the former president’s subpoena during an interview with Newsmax in August, Comer said, “Everybody in America wants to know what happened on Epstein Island, and we’ve all heard reports that Bill Clinton was a frequent visitor there, so he’s a prime suspect and he’s wanted by the House Oversight Committee”.
Comer explained that public reports, victims’ testimonies and official documents show that the former president had closer ties to Epstein than President Donald Trump.
Public and media interest in Epstein’s dossier has been renewed in the United States after the Trump administration has so far been unable to provide new materials, despite the Republican president’s campaign promises to declassify all files.
Epstein was charged in the United States in 2019 with trafficking minors for the purpose of sexual exploitation, a crime punishable by up to 40 years in prison, as well as a charge of conspiracy to traffic underage.
According to prosecutors, between 2002 and 2005, Epstein had sexual relations with dozens of underage girls in his homes in New York and Florida, paid them hundreds of dollars in cash, and then commissioned some victims to recruit other girls.
Investigations revealed that some of the victims were as young as 14 years old.
Epstein was mysteriously found dead in his cell at the end of July 2019 after a Manhattan court ordered him to be detained and not released on bail, and investigations later concluded that he had committed suicide inside the prison.
