Clintons agree to testify ahead of Wednesday contempt vote

Bill and Hillary Clinton subpoenaed for grand jury testimony on Epstein network January 31, 2026. The former president and former secretary of state testified before a federal grand jury investigating Jeffrey Epstein associates and potential co-conspirators in sex trafficking and related crimes.

Testimony concluded February 2, 2026 after two days of questioning by federal prosecutors. The Clintons appeared voluntarily and answered questions about their associations with Epstein and knowledge of his criminal activities, though specific testimony details remained sealed.

Investigators led by U.S. Attorney Damian Williams sought details on flight logs and Foundation events. The grand jury investigation focused on identifying co-conspirators or enablers within high-profile social circles who may have facilitated or covered up Epstein crimes.

The testimony came amid broader DOJ investigation into Epstein network and associates. Federal prosecutors were examining whether powerful individuals facilitated or enabled Epstein sex trafficking operations through financial contributions, social connections, or other means.

Clinton testimony raised questions about judgment and associations with Epstein. The former president acknowledged knowing Epstein socially but denied any knowledge of criminal activities, while the former secretary of state faced similar questions about Foundation interactions.

The grand jury investigation was part of ongoing efforts to hold Epstein enablers accountable. While Epstein died in 2019, prosecutors continued to pursue charges against associates who may have facilitated his crimes or covered up evidence.

The Clinton testimony created political tensions and media speculation. The high-profile nature of the testimony and the Clintons involvement in the investigation raised questions about potential political motivations and the scope of the investigation.

Federal prosecutors emphasized that the investigation was ongoing and that no charges had been filed against the Clintons. The grand jury testimony was part of information gathering rather than evidence of criminal wrongdoing by the former first couple.
