Feb. 2 (UPI) -- Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed Monday evening to testify in a GOP-led congressional investigation into deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Angel Urena, a spokesperson for former President Bill Clinton, publicly announced that the Democrat couple would testify on social media while chastising House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair James Comer for being disingenuous during negotiations.
"They negotiated in good faith. You did not. They told you under oath what they know, but you don't care," Urena said on X. "But the former President and former Secretary of State will be there."
Comer, R.-Ky., has sought testimony from the Clintons for months as part of his committee's investigation, which is unfolding amid partisan disputes over Epstein's ties to members of both political parties.
The committee issued subpoenas in August to compel the Clintons to testify, and they were facing potential contempt-of-Congress charges when on Saturday, their lawyers informed the committee in a letter that they agreed to sit for depositions, but under conditions set by their legal team -- terms Comer said he rejected.
