“You’ll have to ask my husband.”

That moment has arrived.

Former President Bill Clinton will sit for a deposition Friday, and face House Oversight investigators eager to revisit the questions Hillary Clinton answered — and the ones she deflected — during her six-hour testimony about Jeffrey Epstein.

Clinton’s deposition is expected to go “even longer” than his wife Hillary Clinton’s testimony, which lasted over six hours on Thursday, according to Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer. Republicans said that Hillary Clinton answered most of their questions, but they were disappointed that the former secretary of state and first lady told them around a dozen times, “You’ll have to ask my husband,” Comer said.

“So, we have a lot of questions for her husband tomorrow,” the House Oversight chairman told reporters on Thursday evening. “And I’m confident that deposition will last even longer than this one.”

Hillary Clinton also spoke to reporters outside the performing arts center where her deposition took place in Chappaqua, New York, and blasted Republicans for asking “very repetitive” questions after she stated that she never met Epstein. Hillary Clinton also suggested that her husband will focus on the “chronology” of his relationship with Epstein and argue that he only spent time with the financier before Epstein was charged and pleaded guilty to soliciting a child for prostitution.

“I think it is fair to say that the vast majority of people who had contact with [Epstein] before his criminal pleas in ’08 were like most people, they did not know what he was doing,” Hillary Clinton said. “And I think that is exactly what my husband will testify to tomorrow.”

The former president will likely have much more to address during his deposition than his wife, as Bill Clinton traveled numerous times on Epstein’s private plane. He also appears in multiple instances in the Epstein files recently released by the Justice Department, including in photos that show the former president schmoozing with Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as multiple photos that show Bill Clinton in a swimming pool with Maxwell and enjoying a hot tub with a woman whose face was redacted.

The former president was also seen in a picture getting a back massage from Chauntae Davies, one of Epstein’s accusers. Davies has not accused Clinton of acting inappropriately.

Neither Bill nor Hillary Clinton has been accused of any wrongdoing related to Epstein’s sex crimes, and the former president and first lady have stated that they never visited Epstein’s private island. After photos of Bill Clinton were released among the millions of Epstein-related documents and files by the Justice Department, the former president’s chief of staff, Angel Ureña, accused the Trump administration of scapegoating Bill Clinton. 

“The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton,” Ureña said. “This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they’ll try and hide forever. So they can release as many grainy, 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be.”

Documents released by the Justice Department also show that Maxwell had a major role in the founding of the Clinton Global Initiative, a project of the Clinton Foundation to bring world leaders together to discuss future action. While coordinating with Epstein, Maxwell took part in budget discussions when the former president was first attempting to launch the initiative in 2004, just two years before Epstein was indicted, The New York Times reported.

Maxwell, a British former socialite, told the Justice Department during an interview last year that Bill Clinton was her friend, “not Epstein’s friend.”

Several prominent Democrats decried the fact that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) apprehended a number of DACA (Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals) recipients during the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term, demanding that they be given a “path to citizenship” in spite of data showing the “vast majority” of them had criminal histories.

Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) released a joint statement with Sens. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Alex Padilla (D-CA), protesting the arrests and casting doubt on Homeland Security’s assertion that 92% had criminal histories outside of immigration-related civil violations.

News of DACA recipients being arrested and deported is deeply troubling. These arrests disrupt families, harm communities, and inflict unnecessary social, emotional, and economic costs. And it is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Secretary Noem’s response to our letter claims that 241 of the 261 DACA recipients arrested had ‘criminal histories,’ without providing any further details. DACA recipients go through strict background checks every time they renew this protection, and the Trump Administration has not hesitated to arrest immigrants with no serious criminal convictions and falsely label them the “worst of the worst.” In the face of this Administration’s actions, it is important for Congress to protect young people who know no other home than the United States and continue the critical work to find a pathway to citizenship for them. We won’t accept partial information, and we demand that Secretary Noem provide more information on their basis for arresting and deporting DACA holders immediately.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in her letter to Durbin, explained, “[DACA] comes with no right or entitlement to remain in the United States indefinitely. Aliens with certain criminal histories will not be considered for DACA. Further, those who violate the terms are also subject to termination and removal.”

According to data compiled by the federal government and shared in Noem’s letter to Durbin, immigration agents arrested 261 DACA recipients in the first ten months of 2025 — and 241 (92%) of those arrested had criminal histories apart from civil immigration violations. Just over one-third (86) of those arrested were subsequently deported.

Durbin responded by claiming that the arrests were “wrongful,” despite the overwhelming number with criminal histories, and that “Dreamers” should be given a path to citizenship.

“The Trump Administration just admitted to wrongfully arresting 261 DACA recipients. 86 were deported. Dreamers deserve a path to citizenship, not deportation,” he posted on X on Thursday.

DACA was a program implemented by former President Barack Obama’s administration, and offered work permits and temporary deportation protections for those who either entered the United States illegally or overstayed their visas when they were children. President Trump’s first-term attempt to terminate DACA altogether was blocked by the Supreme Court in 2020.
