That resolution's consideration was suspended earlier in February after the Clintons said they would provide testimony. The couple favored providing testimony at an open hearing and suggested Feb. 26 for Hillary Clinton's testimony and Feb. 27 for Bill Clinton's.

The first set of files released by the Justice Department late last year included pictures of Bill Clinton. At the time, Clinton’s spokesperson, Angel Ureña, said that the former president flew on Epstein’s plane for Clinton Foundation trips in the early 2000s, before Epstein had been charged with any sex crimes. Bill Clinton has denied any wrongdoing. The former president previously said that he cut ties with Epstein before Epstein was accused in 2006 of having sex with a minor. Hillary Clinton’s spokesperson, Nick Merrill, said in a December statement that “Since this started, we’ve been asking what the hell Hillary Clinton has to do with this, and hasn’t been able to come up with an answer.”
