Republicans speak before ‘historic’ Bill Clinton deposition on Jeffery Epstein

From USA TODAY.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton are set to give depositions to a House committee this week as part of its investigation into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The depositions will take place near the Clintons’ house in Chappaqua, New York. Hillary Clinton is scheduled to testify Thursday, followed by Bill Clinton on Friday.

The former president is among many prominent people in politics, finance, academia and business who have appeared in the files — both before and after Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to prostitution charges.

Bill Clinton’s deposition will mark the first time Congress forced a former president to testify, although presidents occasionally answered questions voluntarily.
