Bill Clinton to face grilling on significant Epstein ties

Bill Clinton faces questioning over his connections to Jeffrey Epstein amid ongoing Congressional investigations and political tensions.

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton will be grilled by a Congressional panel on Friday (February 27, 2026) on his well-documented links to Jeffrey Epstein, as Democrats seek to shift focus onto Donald Trump's own ties to the convicted sex offender.

Mr. Clinton features prominently throughout the latest Epstein files disclosures, with the former President insisting that he broke ties with him well before the disgraced billionaire's 2008 conviction for sex offenses.

Mere mention in the files released by the U.S. Department of Justice does not imply wrongdoing, and Mr. Clinton has not been accused of a crime or formally investigated.

He follows his wife, former Secretary of State Ms. Hillary Clinton, who testified Thursday (February 26, 2026), defiantly calling for President Trump — who like Mr. Bill Clinton had ties with Epstein — to appear before the panel.

"If this committee is serious about learning the truth about Epstein's trafficking crimes. It would ask [Mr. Trump] directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein files," she said in an opening statement published online.

The depositions are being held behind closed doors even though the Clintons called for them to be open and televised, a move Mr. Bill Clinton denounced as akin to a "kangaroo court."
