Clintons Cave on Epstein, Fetterman a "Banger," and AI "Slop" Floods Web

Clintons Agree to Testify in Epstein Inquiry as Contempt Vote Looms

Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton agreed to testify in the House Oversight Committee's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, days before a vote to hold them in criminal contempt of Congress, according to multiple sources. The Clintons had previously resisted complying with subpoenas from Representative James R. Comer, the committee's Republican chairman, describing them as invalid and legally unenforceable, reported The New York Times.

The decision to testify marked a reversal after months of resistance. The Clintons had accused Comer of targeting them as political adversaries of former President Trump and vowed to fight the subpoenas, The New York Times noted. However, facing a potential vote on criminal contempt, they capitulated.

Bill Clinton had been acquainted with Epstein but has denied any knowledge of his sex offending and stated that he cut off contact with Epstein two decades ago, according to the BBC. Epstein died in prison in 2019.

The timing and format of the Clintons' testimony remain unclear. It will be the first time a Clinton has testified in the investigation.

In other news, Welsh First Minister Eluned Morgan suggested that the public should spend less time watching Netflix and more time at local pubs to support struggling businesses, the BBC reported. Morgan's comments came after her government announced a one-year business rate discount for pubs, restaurants, cafes, and live music venues. She argued that the government could not be expected "to step in and do the work that the public should be doing," according to the BBC.

Separately, Senator John Kennedy praised Senator John Fetterman as a "maverick" who "doesn't give a damn" about angering liberals, Fox News reported. Kennedy said on "The Will Cain Show" that Fetterman's authenticity was refreshing. "He just doesn't care, and I find that refreshing," Kennedy stated.

Meanwhile, concerns are growing about the proliferation of AI-generated content, or "slop," on social media, the BBC reported. One example cited was an AI-generated image of impoverished children that went viral on Facebook, highlighting the potential for misleading and exploitative content.
