Chappaqua, New York. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared Thursday for a closed-door deposition with the House Oversight Committee in its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein; her husband, former President Bill Clinton, is scheduled to appear Friday. The couple agreed to testify after Republican subpoenas and a committee vote recommending criminal contempt for initially refusing in-person questioning. Lawmakers asked about travel on Epstein's plane and ties to associate Ghislaine Maxwell. At least ten Republican members planned to attend. The depositions followed months of negotiation. A public hearing remains possible. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.
