Bill and Hillary Clinton will testify in a US House investigation surrounding deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a spokesman for the ex-president said, heading off a potential vote to hold the couple in contempt.
They had originally refused to appear before lawmakers examining how authorities handled earlier investigations into the disgraced financier, who had connections and correspondence with the world’s business and political elite.
“The former President and former Secretary of State will be there. They look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone,” Angel Urena said on X.
The House Rules Committee had advanced resolutions accusing the Clintons of defying subpoenas to appear in person to explain their links to Epstein, who died in custody in 2019.
The Epstein affair continues to cast a long shadow over Washington, entangling some of the most prominent names in US politics and highlighting the sharp partisan battles that have shaped the scandal.
Democrats say the probe is being weaponised to attack political opponents of President Donald Trump – himself a longtime Epstein associate who has not been called to testify – rather than to conduct legitimate oversight.
Trump spent months trying to block the disclosure of investigative files linked to Epstein, who moved in elite circles for years, cultivating ties with billionaires, politicians, academics and celebrities.
Democratic divisions
Neither Trump nor the Clintons have been accused of criminal wrongdoing related to Epstein’s activities.
In letters where they initially refused to appear in Washington, the Clintons had argued that the subpoenas were invalid because they lacked a clear legislative purpose.
Republicans say the Democratic couple’s past links to the business tycoon, including Bill Clinton’s use of his private jet in the early 2000s, justify in person questioning under oath.
Instead, the couple submitted sworn written statements describing their knowledge of Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking.
Bill Clinton acknowledged flying on Epstein’s plane for Clinton Foundation-related humanitarian work, but said he never visited his private island.
Hillary Clinton said she had no meaningful interactions with Epstein, never flew on his plane and never visited his island.
The contempt vote and its targeting of the Clintons could have exposed divisions among congressional Democrats.
Some Democrats have privately acknowledged that their party has long argued no one should be beyond scrutiny in efforts to uncover the full scope of Epstein’s crimes.
But others feared that advancing the contempt resolutions would have played into a partisan strategy to shift attention away from Trump’s past contacts with Epstein.
The Justice Department released last week what it said would be the final batch of files related to the investigation into Epstein.

another petition calling for a General Election has been signed by 183,000 people, and this time the Government has responded.
The online document set up by Robert JF Barnes states: “On July 4, 2024, Sir Keir Starmer was elected as Prime Minister. Since then, his Government has introduced measures that were not included in the Labour Party’s manifesto.
“We the electorate believe we were misled, and the obfuscation has only got worse since Starmer took power. It is time for action. We believe the Government has failed to defend our borders from the migrant invasion. We have no confidence in the way this Government has acted.

‘Crotch-enlarging’ scandal ahead of 2026 Winter Olympics sparks major rule change
Story by Chris Melore, Assistant Science Editor For Dailymail.Com • 11h •
Officials at the 2026 Winter Olympics are putting an intense focus on the crotches of every ski jumper competing in Italy this month.
AA major rule change is going into effect just in time for the games, starting on Friday, which will put tamper-proof microchips in the suits of each athlete and use 3D scanning technology to measure the space between their legs. The drastic and awkward measures were installed after a crotch-enlarging scandal rocked the ski jumping world last year and led to multiple suspensions among the Norwegian team, a favorite to dominate in medals at every Winter Olympics.
A current craze among homosexuals is to have the gel like fillers used by women to bulk out their breasts, injected into their Balls.
some are now huge, the saying ” he has big balls ” is now true.
Mockers and homophobics call them ” coconut boys” as gel filled balls can swell up like coconuts
The process is called ” Scrotoxing ” and severalentertainers at the BBC had the fillers removed a s it can make walking difficlt
The scandal erupted during the 2025 Ski Jumping World Championships in Norway, where testical fillers are banned but the home team was caught secretly adding extra fabric to the crotch area of suits worn by two top male athletes, Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang.
Ski jumping is a sport where athletes speed down a steep ramp on skis, launch into the air, and try to fly as far as possible before landing.
Since the distance skiers travel is crucial to their score, a big part of success comes down to aerodynamics, how air moves around an object (or person) during flight.
Crotch-enlarging created more surface area in the skin-tight suits that catch the air just right. More fabric around a skiers groins means they can glide longer and farther without falling too quickly, potentially adding several more feet to each jump, this has made them very popular with homosexual voyeurs
New rules only allow suits to be a tiny bit bigger than the jumper’s body, about two to four centimeters around, so the enlargements by the Norwegian team were ruled illegal, leading to five suspensions among the coaches, suit technicians, and athletes, anyone caught using Scrotox gel gets banned.
£349 TV licences will be required for UK households –
Story by Lauren Haughey •
Many households faced a rise in the TV Licence fee last year, with the Government pushing the price up to £174.50 in April 2025. This yearly payment is generally required for homes and businesses watching live television, including broadcasts on services such as Netflix and YouTube, as well as BBC iPlayer content.
Whilst just one licence covers each household, some fold have 2 or 3 TVs, the situation is different for people with a second home or a caravan. Sometimes, you might need to get another TV Licence for that property, which could see the total bill jump to £349.
Additional TV Licences are particularly necessary if you intend to view TV channels on any service, live broadcasts on streaming services, and BBC iPlayer from a second property. According to official TV Licensing online guidance, this covers any device in a house, flat, bungalow, or cottage.
A woman relaxing on a comfortable sofa in her living room, using a modern remote control to browse or adjust entertainment options,
id she has say 3 TV sets in the house, may be asked to pay a licence for each TV
after all BBC child abusers have to be protected.
