The testimonies are taking place behind closed doors in Chappaqua, a town in the state of New York where the Clintons live, following months of exchanges between the former Democratic presidential couple and the House Oversight Committee, which is controlled by Republicans.
This will be the first time that a former President of the United States is compelled to testify before Congress.
