Clintons dodge contempt and set dates to testify before House oversight committee

Published February 3, 2026 1:18pm ET



The House will halt contempt of Congress resolutions against Bill and Hillary Clinton after a last-minute agreement to appear before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee for its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The transcribed, filmed depositions are set for late February, with Hillary Clinton set for Feb. 26 and Bill Clinton set for Feb. 27. The Clintons’ agreement to appear before investigators comes after the couple was given a noon deadline to agree to the committee’s terms for their testimony in order to avoid the House moving forward with contempt proceedings against the couple.
