The House Oversight Committee, led by Republicans, approved the measure to hold the Clintons in contempt late last month, with the support of several Democrats.

On Monday evening, Clinton deputy chief of staff Angel Ureña posted on X confirming the couple would appear before the panel.

“They negotiated in good faith,” Ureña wrote in a tweet directed at the House Oversight Committee. “You did not.

“They told you under oath what they know, but you don’t care. But the former President and former Secretary of State will be there. They look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone.”

Both Clintons say they previously provided the committee with sworn statements and have already provided the “limited information” they had on Epstein.

The couple had dismissed the legal summonses as “nothing more than a ploy to attempt to embarrass political rivals, as President Trump has directed”.

Bill Clinton has never been accused of wrongdoing by survivors of Epstein’s abuse, and has denied knowledge of his sex offending.
