Epstein affair: Now the Clintons should testify

The control committee in the US House of Representatives has requested the approval of investigative documents in the Epstein affair and pre-charged several high-ranking ex-office carriers. The committee published letters to a number of people, including US Justice Minister Pam Bondi. Former President Bill Clinton and ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are also said to testify. US President Donald Trump had assumed Bill Clinton that he had much more to do with Epstein than himself.

Epstein had systematically abused minors for many years and passed on to celebrities. In 2019 he committed suicide in his prison cell at the age of 66. His long -time confidante Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for her role in building up a ring for the sexual abuse of girls in 2022.

In parts of the US company, Epstein’s death caused wild speculation because he maintained the best contacts in the American high society. Prominent and billionaires went in and out of him. US President Donald Trump also spent time with Epstein, as several party videos show. According to a report by the “Wall Street Journal”, in a birthday album on Epstein’s 50th birthday, in addition to a letter of congratulation from Trump, one of Clinton was also included. For his part, Trump denied being the author. According to “WSJ”, the Clinton spokesman rejected a comment and referred to his previous statement.

Trumps and Clinton’s names appeared in earlier files of the Epstein affair previously published. So far, neither of the two has been accused of misconduct.

Donald Trump was recently under pressure because he had promised to open the Epstein files in the election campaign. In addition, there had been expectations with Trump’s supporters that there was a previously secret “customer list” of Epstein.

In the past few weeks, Trump had tried to draw attention to one of his predecessors, Bill Clinton. A Clinton spokesman already let in 2019 know that the Democrat had had no contact with Epstein for more than a decade and knew nothing about his crime.

In a letter from the Comer control committee, before which Clinton is supposed to testify in October, it was said that Clinton, according to his own statement in 2002 and 2003, had flown four times with Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane. “During one of these trips, they were even photographed how they received a ‘massage’ from one of the victims of Mr. Epstein,” emphasized Comer. In addition, there are claims that Clinton put the magazine “Vanity Fair” under pressure not to publish a report on Epstein’s offense.

The control committee in the US House of Representatives currently led by the Republicans has far-reaching powers and can initiate investigations. Hillary Clinton received a summons for October 9 from the committee to say there. Bill Clinton is scheduled to appear on October 14th. Justice Minister Bondi was asked to release files by August 19, insofar as a court approved. The aim is to advance the case of the case around the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died in 2019, said in the letter.

Several other ex-Justice Minister-including Jeff Sessions and Merrick Garland-as well as the former FBI directors Robert Mueller and James Comey were also invited. According to US media, they are not public hearings.
