Epstein Case: Bill And Hillary Clinton call for public hearings
Former US President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have called for public hearings as part of a congressional inquiry into their past connections with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The request marks a significant shift after months during which the couple had declined to testify before a House committee examining the case. The panel, led by Republican lawmakers, plans to question the Clintons separately later this month.
In a message shared on social media, Bill Clinton urged lawmakers to conduct the process openly, arguing that transparency would prevent political manipulation. Hillary Clinton echoed this stance, stating that she had already provided all relevant information to the committee and welcomed a public setting for any further questioning.
The change in position comes shortly before a planned vote in the House of Representatives on whether to pursue contempt proceedings for their earlier refusal to appear. Such a move could have led to a referral to the Justice Department.
Bill Clinton is scheduled to testify on February 27, while Hillary Clinton is expected to appear the previous day. Both have repeatedly denied any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities.
