The day after Hillary Clinton answered questions before the House Oversight Committee, her husband and former president, Bill Clinton, is set to be questioned.
According to NBC News, this is the first time since 1983 that a former president has been questioned by a congressional committee. At that time, it was Gerald Ford who had to answer questions about planning for the upcoming 200th anniversary of the US Constitution.
Similar to Hillary Clinton's hearing, today's testimony is taking place behind closed doors.
The Republican-led committee has long sought to question the couple about their contacts with Epstein, even accusing them of contempt of Congress for failing to respond to a subpoena.
Neither Hillary nor Bill Clinton has been charged with any crime.
After her testimony, Hillary Clinton told reporters at a press conference that she was certain that her husband did not know about Epstein's crimes.
I believe his contact with Epstein ended several years before anything about Epstein's criminal activities became known.
She also said she has “no memory” of ever meeting Jeffrey Epstein.
