华盛顿，2月26日（路透社） – 美国前国务卿希拉里·克林顿定于周四闭门向国会一个调查已故性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的委员会作证，但目前尚不清楚会有多少新信息曝光。
这位2016年民主党总统候选人表示，她几乎没有新信息可提供，并指责由共和党领导的调查小组试图转移人们对总统唐纳德·特朗普与爱泼斯坦关系的关注。爱泼斯坦于2019年在等待联邦性交易指控审判期间在狱中自杀身亡。

她和她的丈夫、民主党前总统比尔·克林顿最初拒绝在众议院监督委员会作证，但在议员们表示要以藐视国会罪传讯他们后作出让步。
希拉里·克林顿定于美国东部时间上午11点（格林尼治标准时间1600点）在纽约查帕奎克的一处住所附近闭门向委员会作证。比尔·克林顿计划周五同一时间作证。
克林顿夫妇的发言人未回应置评请求。
来自肯塔基州的委员会主席詹姆斯·科默（共和党人）表示，他们的采访记录将公开。
希拉里·克林顿与爱泼斯坦的关系尚不清楚。
比尔·克林顿在2000年代初卸任后曾多次乘坐爱泼斯坦的私人飞机。他否认有不当行为，并对自己与爱泼斯坦的关联表示后悔。
据科默称，在克林顿执政期间，爱泼斯坦曾17次访问白宫。
特朗普在2000年代初（2008年因招嫖未成年人被定罪之前）也与爱泼斯坦有过广泛社交。科默表示，调查小组收集的证据未将特朗普牵连其中。
特朗普政府司法部在过去几个月中已根据国会通过的一项法律，公开了超过300万页与爱泼斯坦相关的文件。
司法部曾试图强调比尔·克林顿的照片，但这些文件还揭露了爱泼斯坦与包括商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克和特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克在内的众多商界和政治领袖的关联。

海外报道中，这些文件引发了对英国前约克公爵安德鲁·蒙巴顿-温莎等知名人物的刑事调查。

Hillary Clinton to testify in congressional Epstein probe
February 26, 2026 11:02 AM UTC / Reuters
WASHINGTON, Feb 26 (Reuters) – Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is due to testify behind closed doors on Thursday to a congressional committee investigating the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, though it is not clear how much new information will come to light.
Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, has said she has little information to provide and has accused the Republican-led panel of trying to shift focus away from President Donald Trump’s ties to Epstein, who died by suicide in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges.

She and her husband, Democratic former President Bill Clinton, initially refused to testify before the House of Representatives Oversight Committee, but relented when lawmakers moved to hold them in contempt of Congress.
Hillary Clinton is due to deliver a closed-door deposition to the committee at 11 a.m. ET (1600 GMT) in Chappaqua, New York, near their main residence. Bill Clinton is scheduled to testify at the same time on Friday.
A spokesperson for the Clintons did not respond to a request for comment.
Committee chairman James Comer of Kentucky, a Republican, has said transcripts of their interviews will be made public.

Hillary Clinton’s ties to Epstein are unclear.
Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s plane several times in the early 2000s after he left office. He has denied wrongdoing and expressed regret for his association.
According to Comer, Epstein visited the White House 17 times while Clinton was in office.
Trump also socialized extensively with Epstein in the 1990s and 2000s, before his 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor. Comer said evidence gathered by the panel does not implicate Trump.
Trump’s Justice Department has released more than 3 million pages of Epstein-related documents over the past several months to comply with a law passed by Congress.
The Justice Department sought to draw attention to photos of Bill Clinton, but the documents also have revealed Epstein’s ties to a long list of business and political leaders, including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
