Hillary Clinton is demanding her testimony before the House Oversight Committee's Epstein probe be made public.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is calling for her upcoming testimony before the House Oversight Committee to be made public in a congressional probe of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Clinton said that they had engaged with the committee in "good faith," but the goalposts kept moving in what she called "an exercise in distraction.".

Hillary Clinton then challenged committee chairman James Comer, a Kentucky Republican, to allow the nation to watch the Clintons' testimony live.

Change of tune: Bill and Hillary Clinton agree to testify in House about Jeffrey Epstein.

Hillary Clinton is set to testify on Feb. 26, and the former president’s deposition will take place the following day, Feb. 27. »
