Dershowitz: Clintons Will Answer Questions Honestly Under Oath in House Hearings

Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz has predicted that Bill and Hillary Clinton will answer questions truthfully under oath during upcoming House Oversight Committee depositions.

In a recent statement, Dershowitz declared the Clintons “will not take the fifth” and will “answer every question honestly.” The House Oversight Committee confirmed in a February 3 press release that Hillary Clinton is scheduled to appear for deposition on February 26, 2026, while Bill Clinton will testify on February 27, 2026.

Dershowitz described the depositions as expected to occur behind closed doors in Chappaqua, New York, noting “neither has been accused of wrongdoing.” When asked what lawmakers might question them about, Dershowitz emphasized his perspective: “It’s going to show that what we already know, Hillary Clinton probably almost never met him.” He added that Hillary Clinton is “not in any way involved” and Bill Clinton knew the subject through charitable connections.

Recalling an anecdote from a dinner at Caroline Kennedy’s house on Martha’s Vineyard during President Clinton’s presidency, Dershowitz stated: “I remember being involved… I was having dinner with my wife at Caroline Kennedy’s house on Martha’s Vineyard with President Clinton when he was president, and he took a phone call, and it turned out it was Jeffrey Epstein.”

Dershowitz indicated Bill Clinton would describe contact that, in his view, “ended early on,” adding: “He didn’t continue to have any kind of connection” after Epstein’s misconduct became public. He contrasted this with others, stating he knew the subject as an academic acquaintance until “it was revealed that he led a secret life,” after which most relationships ended—unlike figures such as Bill Gates and Noam Chomsky.

The professor urged broader inquiry: “I’m hoping Congress will call lots and lots of people who can present the whole truth, not just the Democratic truth or the Republican truth.” He described the expected outcome as “a gray mixed picture in which there are few heroes, few villains, but many people in gray areas.”
