Former President Bill Clinton will sit for a deposition in New York before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee as part of its probe into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. This comes a day after former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was deposed on the matter, during which she criticized questions that veered off topic. Meanwhile, President Trump will head to Corpus Christi, Texas, on a visit related to energy policy.

Why it matters

The House investigation into Epstein's crimes and potential connections to high-profile figures continues to unfold, with the testimonies of both Bill and Hillary Clinton drawing significant attention. Trump's visit to Texas also holds political significance, as the state is a key battleground and the former president has yet to make an endorsement in a three-way GOP Senate primary there.
