The long shadow of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation is once again stretching across Washington — and this time, two of the most recognizable names in American politics are under renewed scrutiny.
Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.) says he plans to attend upcoming sworn depositions involving former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The House Oversight Committee has scheduled testimony from the Clintons regarding their past interactions with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
For many Americans, especially those who remember the political battles of the 1990s, this development feels significant.
Why Are the Clintons Being Deposed?
The depositions are expected to take place at the Clintons’ home in Chappaqua, New York. Because of the location, attendance will reportedly be limited to a smaller number of committee members.
Grothman has made it clear: he wants answers.
Bill Clinton’s name has appeared in public flight logs connected to Epstein. Reports over the years have also documented visits by Epstein to the White House during Clinton’s presidency.
The key questions lawmakers say they want clarified:
- What was discussed during those meetings?
- What was the nature of the relationship?
- Who else may have been present?
- What interactions occurred with Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell?
The Clintons have previously denied any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal conduct.
The Clinton Foundation Questions
Grothman has also indicated interest in asking Hillary Clinton about Epstein’s reported connections to the Clinton Foundation.
Public records show Epstein donated to various institutions and charities over the years. Lawmakers say they want to determine:
- Whether donations influenced access
- Whether foundation officials had concerns
- What vetting procedures were in place
At this point, there have been no formal charges filed against either Bill or Hillary Clinton in connection with Epstein.
A History That Still Resonates
For older voters especially, Bill Clinton’s past legal controversies remain part of the political memory of the country. His 1990s impeachment over sworn testimony is often cited by critics when questions of credibility arise.
Grothman suggested that lawmakers must approach testimony carefully and verify statements against existing records.
The goal, he said, is transparency.
Why This Story Matters
The Epstein scandal has raised broader national concerns about elite accountability, political access, and whether powerful individuals receive preferential treatment.
Many Americans want clear answers — not speculation, not partisan spin.
The House Oversight Committee says these depositions are part of an ongoing effort to gather facts and follow the evidence wherever it leads.
As testimony unfolds, the American public will be watching closely.
And for voters who value transparency and equal justice under the law, the stakes feel higher than ever.
