When his political career was ending, hers was ascending, she was elected to the US Senate, then served as secretary of state & was the 2016 Democratic nominee for president.
For those who have long watched the #Clintons, this moment is a reminder that the couple—weaned on the politics of the Vietnam War & Watergate—has never been far from the heat of a cultural fight. And with the #Epstein case unfolding around the world, the Clintons are once again ensnared in the scandal of the moment.
@Nonilex "Trump, who has faced scrutiny over his own ties to Epstein and may be uncomfortable with the precedent of forcing a former president to testify, has expressed rare concern for the Clintons.
He told NBC News that it “bothers me that somebody is going after Bill Clinton.” He has described Hillary Clinton as a “very capable woman.”"
If they need to set a precedent for presidential accountability, it's only appropriate.
During his 1992 campaign, #BillClinton pitched his candidacy as “two for the price of one,” previewing a presidential marriage like none that had come before, with a spouse whose professional credentials rivaled his. In the years since, that partnership helped the #Clintons weather repeated scandals, including those so personal that many other relationships would have shattered.

There’s no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of either #Clinton when it comes to #Epstein….
But Epstein had ties to #BillClinton for years, visiting the White House multiple times in the 1990s, acc/to visitor logs. After Clinton left office, Epstein was involved in his philanthropy & the former president flew multiple times on his private jet.
“Traveling on Epstein’s plane was not worth the years of questioning afterward,” Bill Clinton wrote in his 2024 memoir. “I wish I had never met him.”
Former Secretary of State #HillaryClinton is currently testifying before US #House lawmakers in New York as part of a congressional investigation into convicted sex offender #JeffreyEpstein, kicking off 2 days of depositions that will also include President #BillClinton.
The closed-door depositions come after months of tense back-&-forth between the former high-powered Democratic couple & the #Republican-controlled House #Oversight Cmte.
Former Secretary of State #HillaryClinton is telling US #House lawmakers she had no knowledge of #JeffreyEpstein’s or #GhislaineMaxwell’s crimes.
“I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein,” Hillary Clinton said in an opening statement she shared on social media.
