New DOJ-released records show Maxwell acted as a conduit between Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein, arranging meetings and flights on Epstein’s private jet with Clinton aide Doug Band, while Clinton’s team says he cut ties before Epstein’s crimes and there’s no evidence of wrongdoing by Clinton. The material highlights Epstein’s circle and Maxwell’s role, including references to Clinton’s post-presidency philanthropy via the Clinton Foundation and Global Initiative, and Epstein-related photos and emails that have drawn renewed scrutiny.

Clinton Subpoena Breaks New Ground in Epstein Inquiry

House Oversight Chair James Comer won a lengthy fight to compel Bill and Hillary Clinton to testify under subpoena in the Epstein investigation, the first time a former president has been required to testify to Congress. The move is hailed by supporters as a bold oversight power but criticized as potentially undermining democratic norms and weaponizing investigations; Democrats warn it could lay groundwork for future probes, including of Donald Trump, illustrating a partisan shift in how congressional inquiries are conducted.

Clinton Testimony Pact Breaks Epstein Probe Standoff

Former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton agreed to testify in the House Oversight Committee’s Epstein investigation, ending months of resistance and a looming contempt vote. They offered to appear for depositions on mutually agreed dates, with discussions including a possible sworn declaration for Hillary and a broad, four-hour testimony for Bill. The reversal follows intense negotiations and a split among Democrats on pursuing contempt charges, and it shifts political focus toward prominent Democrats tied to Epstein’s circle rather than Trump-era questions.
