Bill Clinton Makes History as First Former President to Testify Under Subpoena

Historic Testimony by Bill Clinton

On Friday, Bill Clinton participated in a private deposition with the House Oversight Committee, marking a significant moment as he became the first ex-U.S. president to be summoned to testify under a subpoena. This session was held in Chappaqua, New York. James Comer, the Republican chair of the committee from Kentucky, described the day as 'historic' and emphasized that the committee intends to further investigate the government's response to Jeffrey Epstein's offenses and whether additional individuals should face consequences. Prior to the deposition, Comer expressed his anticipation that Clinton's testimony would exceed the duration of Hillary Clinton's, which lasted about seven hours the previous day. He pointed out that Hillary had redirected several inquiries regarding Epstein to her husband during her own testimony.
