House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has postponed the depositions for former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to mid-January 2026.
Key Details: Regarding this development as of December 2025 are:
- New Schedule: Bill Clinton is now scheduled for deposition on January 13, 2026, followed by Hillary Clinton on January 14, 2026.
- Reason for Delay: The Clintons’ attorney stated they could not attend the originally scheduled dates this week due to a funeral. Comer moved the dates unilaterally after claiming their legal team failed to provide acceptable alternatives.
- Contempt Threat: Comer warned that if they do not comply with the new January dates, the committee will move “immediately” to contempt of Congress proceedings.
- Investigation Context: The depositions are part of an ongoing inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein’s network. While other subpoenaed individuals were allowed to provide written statements, Comer insisted on in-person testimony for the Clintons, citing their “personal relationship” with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
The Clintons’ legal team has argued the demands are “political” and that they are being held to a different standard than others excused from live testimony.
