US Congress summons Bill and Hillary Clinton over Epstein probe

The US House Oversight Committee has summoned Bill and Hillary Clinton to give closed-door depositions in its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's crimes and connections to powerful figures. Committee chairman James Comer stated the former president and secretary of state were subpoenaed over four months ago but have 'delayed, obstructed and largely ignored' scheduling efforts. US media reports indicate Bill Clinton is scheduled to appear Tuesday morning, with Hillary Clinton following Wednesday, though neither has confirmed attendance. Republicans warned the Clintons could face contempt charges if they fail to appear. The investigation comes as President Donald Trump faces mounting transparency calls after the Justice Department released only partial case files nearly a month past the legal deadline, angering supporters who believe Epstein was murdered in a cover-up. The probe specifically examines Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's crimes and how information about their activities was handled.
