Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, told Newsmax on Wednesday that upcoming congressional testimony from Bill and Hillary Clinton represents a "huge opportunity" for lawmakers to press the former president and the former secretary of state on their ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein.
The Clintons finalized an agreement with House Republicans on Tuesday to testify in front of the House Oversight Committee.
Hillary Clinton is scheduled to testify Feb. 26, and Bill Clinton will appear on Feb. 27.
Gill told "Carl Higbie FRONTLINE" that he has low expectations for Bill Clinton's credibility but believes the hearing could finally force answers that the public has sought for years.
"Well, listen, it's hard to know what to expect with somebody like Bill Clinton," Gill said.
"He said a lot of things, including when he was president, that weren't true."
Epstein, a convicted sex offender who committed suicide in 2019 while in jail awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, maintained relationships with numerous high-profile figures spanning decades.
Gill, a member of the Oversight Committee, said Bill Clinton's past interactions with Epstein warrant direct questioning under oath.
"I think this is a huge opportunity for the committee to bring him in," Gill said.
"We know that he has a long history with Jeffrey Epstein. We know that he's been on his plane over a dozen times," he continued.
"He brought Jeffrey Epstein into the White House when he was president over a dozen times."
Gill said the central issue for investigators is what the former president knew and when.
"So we want to ask him: What did you know about Jeffrey Epstein and when, and why didn't you really do a whole lot to stop any of this or call it out?" he said.
Gill added that the hearing is not about political theater but accountability.
"I think that those are questions that the American people want answers to as well," he said.
The committee has indicated the hearing will focus on Epstein's access to powerful institutions and whether warning signs were ignored by political leaders and federal authorities.
Gill said testimony from the Clintons could be a crucial step in restoring public trust in congressional oversight and ensuring transparency in what he called one of the most disturbing scandals in recent history.
