Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to answer questions on Jeffrey Epstein today.

Today marks the first time a former U.S. president will be deposed by a House Oversight Committee. Bill Clinton faces questions from the bipartisan panel investigating the late financier Jeffrey Epstein and his former partner Ghislaine Maxwell.

This comes one day after former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spent more than six hours answering the committee's questions at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center, not far from the couple's home.

The depositions follow months of back-and-forth with committee Republicans about terms for the closed-door meetings.

While the Clintons are not accused of wrongdoing connected to the Epstein case, Republican House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said, "The Clintons’ testimony is critical to understanding Epstein and Maxwell’s sex trafficking network and the ways they sought to curry favor and influence to shield themselves from scrutiny."

After Thursday's proceedings, Hillary Clinton said many questions were repetitive: "I don't know how many times I had to say I did not know Jeffrey Epstein. I never went to his island, I never went to his homes, I never went to his offices, so it's on the record numerous times."

However, Bill Clinton cannot make the same claims.

The former president was known to be friendly with Epstein long before the federal case emerged. Bill Clinton has appeared in documents on the late pedophile released by the DOJ, is seen in photographs with Epstein and flew on his plane several times.

For those reasons, today's hearing is expected to take even longer.

Bill Clinton has stated he cut ties with Epstein before 2006, when Epstein was first charged with having sex with a minor.
