After months of resistance, Bill and Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify before a House panel investigating convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The depositions will be filmed and transcribed, a point of contention in the past between the Clintons and the members investigating crimes by Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and their connections to powerful people.  The former secretary of state and first lady will appear before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Feb. 26. Her husband, the 42nd president, will appear on Capitol Hill to take questions from the committee on Feb. 27.  ? BREAKING: Clintons cave and agree to appear for depositions on Feb. 26 and 27.@RepJamesComer: "Once it became clear that we would hold them in contempt, the Clintons completely caved and will appear for transcribed, filmed depositions this month."No one is above the law.— Oversight Committee (@GOPoversight) February 3, 2026 The late-breaking deal averted a House floor vote to hold both Clintons in contempt of Congress for dodging testimony since October. Last month, a bipartisan majority on the oversight committee approved contempt measures.  “Republicans and Democrats on the Oversight Committee have been clear: no one is above the law—and that includes the Clintons. After delaying and defying duly issued subpoenas for six months, the House Oversight Committee moved swiftly to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings in response to their non-compliance,” House Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said in a statement Tuesday.  “Once it became clear that the House of Representatives would hold them in contempt, the Clintons completely caved and will appear for transcribed, filmed depositions this month,” Comer continued. “We look forward to questioning the Clintons as part of our investigation into the horrific crimes of Epstein and Maxwell, to deliver transparency and accountability for the American people and for survivors.”  The Clintons previously changed the terms of their deposition, originally scheduled in October, asking for a location change to New York and demanding no transcription of the former president’s testimony. The House Rules Committee was meeting Monday to schedule a vote when the Clintons made a last-ditch offer to testify. The committee delayed a vote to advance the contempt proceedings until negotiations were settled. On Tuesday morning, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., announced the Clintons had a deadline of noon before the House would schedule a contempt vote this week. Last month, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted on a bipartisan basis to hold both the 42nd president and the former secretary of state in contempt of Congress after the two failed to appear for their rescheduled deposition. Angel Urena, deputy chief of staff for former President Bill Clinton, asserted in an X post Monday that the Clintons “negotiated in good faith” and were ready to testify. They negotiated in good faith. You did not.They told you under oath what they know, but you don’t care. But the former President and former Secretary of State will be there. They look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone. https://t.co/iO67XjNFsT— Angel Ureña (@angelurena) February 2, 2026 The House Rules Committee ranking member, Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., said Monday that Congress should focus on President Donald Trump, who also had a past friendship with Epstein. “Please, do not insult America’s intelligence by trying to make this conversation about the Clintons. First of all, the Clintons have publicly called for the government to release all, all the Epstein files, unlike Donald Trump, who said he would release them all, but then he backtracked,” McGovern said. The Justice Department is in the process of releasing Epstein files after a bipartisan law was passed by Congress to compel the release. “The Clintons want to cooperate. They sent written declarations of what they knew, and they were negotiating to testify under oath,” McGovern said. “When will President Trump testify?” Contempt of Congress is a criminal charge punishable by up to a year in prison or a $100,000 fine. On July 23, 2025, Republicans and Democrats on the House Oversight Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement unanimously approved a motion to issue subpoenas to ten individuals, including the Clintons, as part of its investigation into Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. “Subpoenas are not mere suggestions; they carry the force of law,” House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., told the House Rules Committee. The 42nd president was once photographed in a swimming pool at Epstein’s estate, appearing with both Maxwell, who was convicted of helping Epstein perpetrate crimes, and another woman whose face was blocked out. The photo was published in a batch of Epstein files released by the Justice Department in December.  Comer argued that Hillary Clinton should also be questioned about Epstein, as she is a former secretary of state whose agency has an office to combat international sex trafficking. The House Oversight Committee initially requested the 42nd president’s deposition on Oct. 14, 2025, while the former secretary of state’s was set for Oct. 9. Those depositions were later postponed to Dec. 17 and Dec. 18, respectively, but the Clintons said they had to attend a funeral at that time. The committee moved the dates once again to January 2026. The Clintons declined. The Clintons argued in a letter to Comer that the move to require their testimony was partisan and could not be legally enforced. Nine committee Democrats joined 25 Republicans to hold Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress, in a lopsided 34-8 vote. However, most committee Democrats objected to holding Hillary Clinton in contempt, with three Democratic members joining Republicans in a 28-15 vote.

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Though President Donald Trump’s pardon attorney Ed Martin no longer coordinates a Justice Department working group investigating the weaponization of government, he has no imminent plans to leave the agency, two sources familiar with the matter tell The Daily Signal. CNN reported that Martin was expected to leave his role in the coming weeks. “President Trump appointed Ed Martin as Pardon Attorney, and Ed continues [to] do a great job in that role,” a DOJ spokesperson told The Daily Signal. Trump first picked Martin as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia in February of last year, but he withdrew the nomination due to lack of Senate support. Trump instead named Martin pardon attorney and put him in charge of the Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group, which Attorney General Pam Bondi chartered in February 2025 to review “conduct [which] appears to have been designed to achieve political objectives.” However, Martin will maintain his role as pardon attorney, meaning he oversees presidential pardons and commutations. It became impractical for Martin to work at the pardon office and coordinate the weaponization working group at the main Justice Department, a DOJ official said, as he was performing two entirely different roles in two different locations. Martin is now working out of a satellite building of the Justice Department at 2 Constitution Avenue, where the Office of the Pardon Attorney is located, along with many other key DOJ offices. The Weaponization Working Group never had a full-time staff, the official said. The group consisted of lawyers looking into examples of where the Justice Department under former President Joe Biden arguably weaponized the agency against conservatives. Investigators probed complaints of the Federal Bureau of Investigations targeting traditional Catholics in Richmond, comparing parents who complained to school boards to domestic terrorists, and prosecuting pro-life protesters under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. Some of these projects are ongoing, but Martin is no longer overseeing them. “President Trump is deeply appreciative of the important work being done by everyone at the Department of Justice – including both [Deputy Attorney General] Todd Blanche and Ed Martin,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said. “Anonymous sources attempting to sow division should not be taken seriously,” she added. Key figures in the MAGA base strongly support Martin. “Ed Martin is the people’s champion for accountability. The base sacredly trusts him to fight the hardest on these issues,” Oversight Project executive director Mike Howell told The Daily Signal. “President Trump is lucky to have such a loyal and fierce advocate.” Former Chief White House Strategist Steve Bannon said Martin has the capacity to do a lot more than oversee presidential pardons. “I’d rather him in main Justice on weaponization,” Bannon said on War Room. “I think it’s good for the country. This guy’s a total warrior. if not, please, we got to keep him in the White House in a senior position.” The Daily Signal’s Tyler O’Neil contributed to this report.

All federal agents deployed to the field in Minneapolis will be equipped with body cameras, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced Monday.   “Effective immediately, we are deploying body cameras to every officer in the field in Minneapolis,” Noem said in a post on X. “As funding is available, the body camera program will be expanded nationwide. We will rapidly acquire and deploy body cameras to DHS law enforcement across the country.”  The move comes after a series of violent confrontations between anti-ICE protesters and federal agents.  I just spoke with @RealTomHoman @ICEDirector @CBPCommissioner. Effective immediately we are deploying body cameras to every officer in the field in Minneapolis. As funding is available, the body camera program will be expanded nationwide. We will rapidly acquire and deploy body…— Secretary Kristi Noem (@Sec_Noem) February 2, 2026 Protesters argue that body cameras would increase accountability for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. Anti-ICE protesters have also demanded that ICE officers wear body cameras after incidents such as the death of Renée Good, in which ICE officer Jonathan Ross filmed the fatal encounter with his cellphone—a decision that drew criticism from many.  “If you’re an agent … then you should not be encumbered by anything in your hands,” Jonathan Wackrow, a CNN law enforcement analyst, said. “That’s what body-worn cameras are for. But they’re not wearing body-worn cameras.”  However, proponents of the policy say increased transparency could actually benefit ICE agents by protecting them from allegations and misconduct.   .@POTUS on body cams: "They generally tend to be good for law enforcement because people can't lie about what's happening." https://t.co/LbAeV4YXdL pic.twitter.com/Hy7wBg8dFp— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) February 2, 2026 Lora Ries, director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, explained how wearing body cameras could protect agents. “Defund ICE is the same movement and has the same funders and organizers as the Defund the Police movement,” Ries said. “Just as bodycams have helped police defend against false claims made by rent-a-rioters, so too will body cams help ICE defend against false claims made to obstruct ICE and prevent deportations to protect the Left’s political power.”  President Donald Trump agreed, saying, “(Body cameras) generally tend to be good for law enforcement because people can’t lie about what’s happening.”  .@POTUS on body cams: "They generally tend to be good for law enforcement because people can't lie about what's happening." https://t.co/LbAeV4YXdL pic.twitter.com/Hy7wBg8dFp— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) February 2, 2026 The post Anti-ICE Protesters Want Agents to Wear Body Cameras, But Their Demand May Backfire appeared first on The Daily Signal.
