**Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton Under Scrutiny in US Congressional Probe** In a recent development, a US congressional committee has released videos of the depositions of former US President Bill Clinton and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The depositions were taken in connection with an ongoing probe into the ties between the Clintons and the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of sex crimes. The depositions, which were recorded behind closed doors in Chappaqua, New York, saw the Clintons testify about their interactions with Epstein. While Hillary Clinton claimed she never knew Epstein, Bill Clinton acknowledged extensive interactions with him, including flying on his private plane on multiple occasions for humanitarian work. However, he denied ever visiting Epstein's infamous private Caribbean island, where young women and girls were allegedly trafficked to powerful figures. In a surprising twist, Hillary Clinton called for the committee to depose President Donald Trump, a close friend of Epstein's, saying lawmakers should "directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein files." The Clintons' statements come as they face scrutiny over their connections to Epstein, who was convicted of soliciting sex from minors as young as 14. Epstein died in prison in 2019 before he could be tried on sex trafficking charges. The depositions have sparked debate in the US, with some accusing the Democrats of weaponizing the investigation to attack Trump's political opponents rather than conducting legitimate oversight. The Clintons initially rejected subpoenas ordering them to testify, but eventually agreed to do so after facing the threat of being held in contempt of Congress. In a similar vein, Nigerians may recall the controversy surrounding the alleged involvement of former President Olusegun Obasanjo in the trial of former Governor James Ibori, who was convicted of money laundering and corruption. While Obasanjo denied any wrongdoing, his connection to Ibori sparked intense scrutiny and debate in the country. Similarly, the Epstein scandal has raised questions about the influence and connections of powerful individuals in the US, and the need for transparency and accountability in their dealings.
