The Clintons have agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee to avoid potential contempt charges in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein probe. This decision comes after the House threatened contempt charges if they did not cooperate with the investigation.

The committee had been seeking testimony from the Clintons regarding their relationship with Epstein, a disgraced financier who was charged with sex trafficking before his death in 2019. The committee believes that the Clintons may have valuable information that could shed light on Epstein's actions and associates.

In a statement, the Clintons expressed their willingness to cooperate with the committee and stressed the importance of uncovering the truth about Epstein's criminal activities. They have pledged to answer any questions the committee may have and provide any relevant documents.

The decision to testify comes ahead of an expected contempt vote in the House. The Clintons' cooperation may help resolve the standoff between the committee and the former First Family, allowing the investigation into Epstein to move forward.
