Hillary Clinton calls for Trump to testify at US House Epstein hearing
Al Jazeera
The former secretary of state accused the Republican-led panel of seeking to protect political allies in probe.
Former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has condemned the conduct of a Republican-led panel investigating links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, accusing congressional lawmakers of trying to “protect one political party and one public official”.
Clinton had been subpoenaed to testify before the panel, made up of members of the House of Representatives, on Thursday.
But before her appearance, she published her opening statement online, which criticised an “institutional failure” in the US government to “seek truth and justice for the victims and survivors”.
Clinton’s husband, former US President Bill Clinton, is set to testify before the same panel on Friday. Both are Democrats.
The pair have maintained they had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activity and have long said they have provided all relevant information to the lawmakers on the panel.
