Hillary Clinton to testify in Epstein case behind closed doors

Hillary Clinton is set to testify behind closed doors to a U.S. House panel investigating Jeffrey Epstein, in a deposition that will take place in Chappaqua, New York. The move comes after the Clintons had resisted the subpoena, calling the inquiry politically motivated, before agreeing to participate as potential contempt charges loomed. The session will center on her and her husband Bill Clinton's connections to Epstein, amid questions about the late financier's crimes and how deeply the former president's and first lady's names appear in the records.\n\nClinton says she had no idea about Epstein's crimes and notes she does not recall meeting Epstein, never flew on Epstein's plane or visited his island, homes, or offices. She also urged the committee to consider summoning Trump under oath about his dealings with Epstein, highlighting ongoing questions about his presence in Epstein's files.\n\nBill Clinton is expected to testify on Friday; he says he cut ties with Epstein two decades ago and has voiced regret over the association, stressing that he had no knowledge of Epstein's crimes. The couple and Trump deny any wrongdoing related to Epstein, and lawmakers warn that the depositions could escalate if full cooperation is not achieved. The case continues to feed a broader debate about what is revealed in the Epstein documents and how prominent figures appear in the records.\n\nAs the hearing unfolds, observers say the depositions could shape public understanding of the Epstein network and its reach into political circles, even as the investigation faces political headwinds.
