Bill Gates apologizes and Larry Summers is forced to resign this week
Hillary and Bill Clinton are currently testifying before Congress following the high-profile arrests of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Pete Mandelson.
- Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to be removed from office by the House Oversight Committee over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
- His wife, Hillary Clinton, was expelled the day before and denied meeting with Epstein or visiting his home.
Now it’s former President Bill Clinton’s turn to take a deposition regarding his relationship with the late sex offender and suspected sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Bill Clinton meets with members of the House Oversight Committee on Government Reform on February 27, the day after his wife Hillary Clinton gave a private deposition.
“I have no recollection of meeting Mr. Epstein,” she said in her opening statement. “I have never been on his plane or visited his island, home or office. I have nothing to add to this.”
But much has already been revealed about Bill Clinton and Epstein’s relationship. Even before the Epstein File Transparency Act was enacted, records showed he was on Epstein’s plane several times. Bill Clinton has repeatedly denied knowledge of Epstein’s alleged crimes or any wrongdoing related to them.
Here’s what you need to know when Clinton meets with lawmakers.
