The House Oversight Committee, led by Chairman James Comer, agreed with former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton on depositions set for late February, avoiding a contempt vote after they resisted subpoenas. The probe examines Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking network, government file handling, and new details like photos of Bill Clinton with Ghislaine Maxwell and emails showing her role in Clinton Global Initiative funding. Republicans highlight flight logs and photos to press questions, while Clinton demands public hearings and full document releases; Maxwell invoked the Fifth over 100 times in her deposition and denied wrongdoing by the Clintons.

Key Takeaway

Bill Clinton called it a 'kangaroo court,' but Republicans are pushing ahead with closed-door depositions to dig into his Epstein ties.

Key Takeaway

Bakari Sellers called Joe Biden a 'nice guy' bridge figure, then asked if the U.S. needs 'some fumigation' of MAGA supporters—for lack of a better term.
