Hillary Clinton will appear on Thursday before a panel of the US House of Representatives that is investigating the crimes of late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The former Democratic secretary of state and presidential candidate recently agreed, along with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, to testify to the House Oversight Committee.
Both had previously resisted demands to appear, describing them as politically motivated. Their agreement to testify warded off potential contempt-of-Congress proceedings against them.
Hillary Clinton has said she does not recall meeting or speaking to Epstein. Her husband, who did know Epstein, has denied any wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein's crimes.
Bill Clinton has also said that he cut off ties with Epstein two decades ago, and has voiced regret that he was ever associated with the financier, who died in 2019.
He is expected to provide testimony of his own on Friday.
The couple's announcement in recent weeks that they would provide testimony after all marked a reversal of their defiant position, and came as a potential contempt vote loomed in the House.
