House Oversight Committee votes to hold Clintons in contempt over Epstein documents

The House Oversight Committee voted on January 21, 2026 to hold both Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress after they refused to testify about their knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein. By February 13, as the full House prepared to vote on the contempt resolutions, the Clintons reversed course and agreed to appear for closed-door depositions before the committee. Hillary Clinton subsequently testified for six hours on February 26, denying she ever met Epstein; Bill Clinton testified the following day.
