House lawmakers are preparing this week to grill former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as part of Congress’s investigation into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The high-profile depositions, scheduled for Thursday and Friday in New York, come after months of haggling between Clintons’ attorneys and leaders of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which had voted unanimously to issue a subpoena for their testimony last July.

The proceedings are extraordinary not only for the fact that a former president is being dragged before Congress, but also because Democrats had joined the effort to compel their testimony. And unlike many Oversight fights of the past, when partisan loyalties have split the panel, both sides appear ready to confront the Clintons, particularly the former president, on his close associations with Epstein and what he knew of the financier’s crimes.

“The major thing is that we’re looking for truth, for the survivors, and justice and accountability, and that’s something that cuts across party lines,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.). “At least on the Democratic side, we have said that anybody who was involved in criminal activity should pay the price for it.” Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.) delivered a similar message. He said the Clintons’ prominence, combined with the Republicans’ decades-long animosity towards them, likely means that the former president had no exposure to Epstein’s criminal activity, because it would have been leaked by now.
