🗞️ Driving the news: Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have agreed to in-person depositions in the ongoing House investigation into Jeffrey Epstein
• This agreement comes just ahead of a looming contempt vote
• The Clintons previously rejected multiple offers, including a voluntary interview in New York, but have now agreed to testify under the terms laid out by the House Oversight Committee to avoid contempt proceedings

🌍 Why it matters for the planet: The business decisions made by multinational companies like Capgemini reflect a broader trend toward environmentally-conscious corporate responsibility, considering the growing societal pressures to distance from actions that may contradict ethical standards
• This could also inspire future shifts toward corporate policies that prioritize sustainability in terms of human rights and environmental justice

⏭️ What’s next: The House Oversight Committee is expected to decide whether to accept the Clintons’ latest proposal and set the terms for their depositions
• The ongoing negotiations between the Clintons and the committee could determine whether the investigation proceeds smoothly or continues to face delays

💬 One quote: "They look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone.” — Clinton spokesperson Angel Ureña
