Hillary Clinton testifies in Epstein probe, demands Trump do the same

Hillary Clinton has testified before a U.S. House committee investigating matters related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. During the proceedings, she called for President Donald Trump to also testify under oath about his connections to Epstein.

Republicans on the committee, who initially sought to use the probe to target Clinton, faced criticism as the focus shifted. Clinton accused Republicans of trying to shield Trump from scrutiny in the Epstein case, while she defended her husband, former President Bill Clinton, who is also named in some Epstein-related documents.

The Justice Department is facing accusations from some quarters that it is withholding documents related to Trump from the Epstein files. The White House has denied these allegations. The political back-and-forth has turned the congressional investigation into a partisan clash over accountability.
