Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to appear Thursday before the House Oversight Committee, which is investigating crimes related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Former President Bill Clinton will also testify before the committee on Friday.
The former first couple’s decision comes after they were threatened with contempt of congressional proceedings for failing to comply with a subpoena in August.
The 2016 Democratic presidential candidate accused the committee’s requests of appearing politically motivated and denied meeting or speaking to Epstein.
Her husband Bill Clinton, who knew the disgraced financier, has denied any wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
In an interview with BBC News Last week, Mrs. Clinton said: “We have nothing to hide. We have repeatedly requested the full release of these files. We believe sunlight is the best disinfectant.”
She accused the Oversight Committee of using her and her husband to distract from President Trump’s association with Epstein.
Recent reports suggest that the Justice Department has withheld several cases related to a woman who accused the 47th POTUS of sexual abuse.
Trump has maintained his innocence and denied any wrongdoing related to his past relationship with Epstein.
California Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said records related to the woman’s accusations were not included in the unredacted collection available to members of Congress at the Justice Department.
