Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have postponed their scheduled depositions before the House Oversight Committee as part of the panel\u2019s ongoing investigation into the federal government\u2019s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases, according to congressional officials.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the committee\u00a0confirmed\u00a0Monday that neither Clinton appeared on their originally scheduled dates. Hillary Clinton had been expected to testify last week, while Bill Clinton was slated to sit for questioning on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe deposition won\u2019t occur tomorrow,\u201d the spokesperson told The New York Post, adding that the committee is \u201chaving conversations with the Clintons\u2019 attorney to accommodate their schedules.\u201d No new dates have been announced.<\/p>\n
The subpoenas were issued in early August by Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) as part of the committee\u2019s broader review of Epstein\u2019s prosecution history, Maxwell\u2019s conviction, and the federal government\u2019s management of related investigations. Comer has said the panel intends to examine potential lapses in the Justice Department\u2019s oversight of Epstein\u2019s activities and connections to high-profile individuals.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody in America wants to know what went on at Epstein Island,\u201d Comer said during an interview with Newsmax in August, referring to Epstein\u2019s private estate in the U.S. Virgin Islands. \u201cWe\u2019ve all heard reports that Bill Clinton was a frequent visitor there, so he\u2019s a prime subject to be deposed by the House Oversight Committee.\u201d<\/p>\n
Comer, who has chaired the committee since January 2023, described the subpoenas as among \u201cthe most challenging\u201d of his tenure, noting that Democrats joined Republicans in approving the measure.<\/p>\n
Epstein, a financier and convicted sex offender, was arrested in July 2019 on federal child sex trafficking charges. He died in a Manhattan jail the following month while awaiting trial. Federal prosecutors later described his death as suicide. Maxwell, his longtime associate, was convicted in 2021 of conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse minors and is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.<\/p>\n
Epstein\u2019s association with numerous influential figures\u2014including business leaders, politicians, and academics\u2014has been the subject of renewed congressional scrutiny. According to White House visitor logs released in 2016, Epstein visited the Clinton White House at least 17 times between 1993 and 1995. Records also show that he donated $10,000 to the White House Historical Association in 1993.<\/p>\n
Bill Clinton has acknowledged traveling on Epstein\u2019s private jet, sometimes referred to as the \u201cLolita Express,\u201d multiple times in connection with his work for the Clinton Foundation and its global initiatives.<\/p>\n
However, the former president has consistently denied visiting Epstein\u2019s private island or having knowledge of any criminal activity.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish I had never met him,\u201d Clinton wrote in his 2024 memoir\u00a0<\/p>\n
In an interview earlier this year with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Maxwell said her relationship with the Clintons was primarily through her own acquaintance with the former president. \u201cPresident Clinton was my friend, not Epstein\u2019s friend,\u201d she said. \u201cPresident Clinton liked me, and we got along terribly well. But I never saw that warmth with Mr. Epstein.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maxwell also told Blanche that Bill Clinton \u201cabsolutely never\u201d visited Epstein\u2019s island.<\/p>\n
The House Oversight Committee\u2019s inquiry is one of several ongoing reviews into how federal law enforcement handled Epstein\u2019s activities and associates before his death.<\/p>\n
Comer has said the panel is examining whether officials within the Justice Department or FBI \u201cinterfered, ignored, or downplayed evidence\u201d that could have led to additional prosecutions.<\/p>\n
While the Clintons are not accused of any criminal wrongdoing, their testimonies are expected to address the extent of their interactions with Epstein and Maxwell, as well as any potential awareness of his conduct during and after Bill Clinton\u2019s presidency.<\/p>\n
The committee has not released a full witness list for upcoming depositions but has indicated that additional subpoenas could follow.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are going to get answers,\u201d Comer said last month. \u201cThis investigation is about accountability and transparency for the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n
They told everyone it would be private \u2014 \u201cjust them, no pressure.\u201d But the truth was: nothing about Taylor Swift\u2019s engagement was ever going to be small.<\/p>\n
Not when the groom is Travis Kelce, NFL royalty. Not when the bride is the most written-about woman in the world. And certainly not when her mother, Andrea Swift, was quietly flown in to London two days earlier\u2026 with no public record, no media trail, and no one really asking why.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t for logistics. It wasn\u2019t even to help Taylor pick a dress.<\/p>\n
According to a family friend, Taylor had only one request that week:<\/p>\n
\u201cI need my mom there \u2014 not for the photos. For me.\u201d<\/p>\n
They spent the day before the proposal alone in the flat Taylor rented just outside Kensington Gardens. No stylists. No assistants. Just two women who\u2019d been through decades of stages, stadiums, sickness, and survival \u2014 now sitting on a sofa, talking about a future that neither one wanted to rush.<\/p>\n
Andrea had seen it all: the heartbreaks that went public, the ones that didn\u2019t. The panic attacks backstage. The Grammy nights. The nights after. She knew the difference between romance and rehearsal. And she could read Taylor\u2019s voice in a way no one else could.<\/p>\n
That morning, the voice had changed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not about the ring, Mama. I just\u2026 I know now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Andrea didn\u2019t say much. But she packed her things and stood by the car when it was time to go.<\/p>\n
When Travis knelt down in the garden, Taylor covered her mouth \u2014 the way people do when they\u2019re caught between disbelief and the edge of tears.<\/p>\n
But Andrea Swift didn\u2019t move.<\/p>\n
She stood at the edge of the hydrangea hedge, wrapped in a muted navy coat, one hand gripping the strap of her purse, the other folded across her chest. Her face wasn\u2019t smiling. Her eyes weren\u2019t crying. But something about her stillness told a deeper story than either.<\/p>\n
Observers who were present \u2014 mainly staff and one trusted photographer \u2014 later said the energy around Andrea was \u201cstill, but tight.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of them described it this way:<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone else leaned in. Andrea stayed back. Not distant \u2014 just rooted. Like she needed to be there, but not be part of the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
And when the ring went on Taylor\u2019s finger, she didn\u2019t look down.
She looked up \u2014 past Travis, past the camera. She looked for her mother.<\/p>\n
What she saw was the same woman who held her hand before her first school performance, who rubbed her back in the hospital waiting room during chemo. But this time, there was no nod. No smile. Just a soft narrowing of the eyes. And Taylor, for a half-second, froze.<\/p>\n
That second wasn\u2019t caught in the main photos. But it was seen. And for the people who know the Swifts, it meant more than any diamond.<\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t cry. She didn\u2019t speak. But the way she looked at Taylor\u2026 said everything.<\/p>\n\n
