Hillary Clinton to testify in US House panel’s Epstein probe<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n

Hello and welcome to the US politics<\/a> live blog.<\/p>\n

Former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton is to testify behind closed doors later today before a congressional committee investigating the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein<\/a> and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former president Bill Clinton is scheduled to answer questions tomorrow from the Republican-led House Oversight Committee about his relations with Epstein, who died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial.<\/p>\n

The Clintons had initially rejected subpoenas ordering them to testify in the panel\u2019s probe, but the Democratic power couple eventually agreed to do so after House Republicans threatened to hold them in contempt of Congress, AFP reported.<\/p>\n

The proceedings will take place behind closed doors but will be recorded, with footage expected to be released later \u2013 an arrangement reminiscent of what happened with Clinton\u2019s 1998 grand jury testimony, which was made public the following month.<\/p>\n

Bill Clinton has denied any wrongdoing but is under scrutiny over admissions that he flew on Epstein\u2019s private plane several times. Photos in the recently released files show the ex-president in potentially compromising poses \u2013 particularly one with him in a hot tub with Epstein and a woman whose identity is redacted. Hillary, for her part, denies ever having met Epstein but acknowledges meeting Ghislaine Maxwell, his partner and convicted co-conspirator.<\/p>\n

For Republicans, putting a searchlight on the Clintons has the advantage of deflecting attention from Donald Trump\u2019s relationship with Epstein.<\/p>\n

The Clintons called for their depositions to be public but the committee insisted on questioning them behind closed doors, a move Bill Clinton denounced as \u201cpure politics\u201d and akin to a \u201ckangaroo court.\u201d<\/p>\n
