The Clintons have rescheduled their upcoming depositions regarding the investigation by the House Oversight Committee into the infamous Jeffrey Epstein.
Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State, was anticipated to testify last week on October 9, but she did not show up, while Bill Clinton was expected to respond to questions about his relationship with Epstein on Tuesday.
A spokesperson from the Oversight Committee informed The Post on Monday that discussions with the Clintons’ attorney are ongoing to accommodate their availability.
The spokesperson noted, “The deposition will not take place tomorrow,” referring to Bill’s planned testimony.
The Clintons received subpoenas from Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) earlier in August, which is part of the committee’s broader inquiry into the federal investigations surrounding Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
“The American public deserves transparency regarding what happened on Epstein Island, and numerous reports indicate Bill Clinton frequented that location, making him a key figure for the House Oversight Committee’s inquiry,” Comer stated during a Newsmax interview about the former president’s subpoena in August.
The Kentucky Republican, who has been heading the Oversight panel since January 2023, referred to the Clinton subpoenas as “the most challenging I’ve ever encountered.”
“However, the notable difference with this subpoena is that Democrats supported the Republicans’ stance,” Comer added.
Epstein, who died in 2019 in a New York jail while awaiting trial for child sex trafficking allegations, visited the White House numerous times since Bill Clinton took office in 1993.
Additionally, Epstein made a $10,000 donation to the White House Historical Association in 1993, as revealed by the files from the former First Lady.
Bill Clinton was among the high-profile individuals who appeared to have left messages in Epstein’s questionable 50th birthday book in 2003. In a note attributed to Clinton, recently made public by the Oversight Committee, the former president expressed, “It’s reassuring, isn’t it, to have lasted so long, across all the years of learning and adventures, and still to retain your childlike curiosity.”
Maxwell, who reportedly curated the entries in the book presented to Epstein, claimed in a recent interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche that her friendship with the former president was genuine, noting, “President Clinton was my friend, not Epstein’s. He and I had a strong rapport.”
Maxwell further asserted in her conversation with Blanche that she never witnessed Bill Clinton interact warmly with Epstein.
Currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in facilitating Epstein’s abuse of minors, Maxwell also claimed during her interview that Bill Clinton “absolutely never” set foot on Epstein’s notorious island.
The former president acknowledged in his 2024 memoir “Citizen: My Life After the White House” that he traveled on Epstein’s private aircraft, dubbed the Lolita Express, in relation to his work with the Clinton Global Initiative, yet he denied ever visiting Epstein’s island.
Clinton expressed regret over meeting Epstein, stating, “I wish I had never met him,” and added that the experiences aboard Epstein’s plane were “not worth the years of questioning that followed.”
The former president has consistently denied any involvement in the illegal activities of Epstein and Maxwell.
