Hillary and Bill Clinton have been ordered to testify before a House oversight committee that is investigating the late financier Jeffrey Epstein's ties to influential individuals. Epstein, who was convicted in 2008 for sexually abusing minors, has connections that span high-profile political and social figures. Bill Clinton appears repeatedly in documents relevant to the investigation, yet no concrete evidence linking either Clinton to criminal activity has been publicly disclosed.

Hillary Clinton has argued that the Republican-led investigation against her is an attempt to deflect attention from Donald Trump, whose name has also surfaced numerous times in relation to Epstein's activities. This ongoing inquiry not only focuses on domestic connections but has also attracted international scrutiny, as there are investigations related to Epstein's associates being carried out in other countries. Recently, French police conducted a search at the Arab World Institute in Paris, which is tied to an investigation of former French Culture Minister Jack Lang and his daughter Caroline, accused of financial relations with Epstein.

The ties between powerful individuals and Epstein, who died in prison under controversial circumstances, continue to spark debates regarding accountability and the influence of elite networks. The inquiry by the House committee exemplifies a broader political struggle, as the investigation into Epstein's associates takes center stage in U.S. politics, potentially influencing the narrative around Trump's own controversies.
