Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify before a House Judiciary subcommittee examining newly released Jeffrey Epstein files, announced February 2, 2026. The bipartisan panel, led by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), seeks clarity on the couple's documented interactions with Epstein, including 26 flights logged on the Lolita Express and mentions in unsealed court records from the Giuffre v. Maxwell case. Both issued statements through counsel affirming cooperation “in the interest of transparency.”
The testimony, scheduled for late February in Washington, follows Epstein's 2019 death and recent dumps revealing high-profile names. Democrats on the committee called it a "political stunt," noting no criminal allegations against the Clintons, while Republicans cite flight logs and Epstein's "little black book" entries as warranting scrutiny. Bill Clinton has previously denied wrongdoing beyond humanitarian flights post-presidency; Hillary's team emphasized her lack of direct contact.
Legal experts anticipate limited revelations given attorney-client privileges, but the hearings could amplify calls for a special counsel. Victims' advocates praised the move, urging full disclosure amid ongoing lawsuits against Epstein's estate.
