Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton agreed late Monday to testify in a House investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, but the Republican leading the probe said an agreement had not yet been finalized.
Rep. James Comer, the chair of the House Oversight Committee, continued to press for criminal contempt of Congress charges against both Clintons Monday evening for defying a congressional subpoena when attorneys for the Clintons emailed staff for the Oversight panel, saying the pair would accept Comer’s demands and ”will appear for depositions on mutually agreeable dates.”

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is taking over his artificial intelligence (AI) start-up, as the billionaire continues to unify some of his many business interests.
SpaceX confirmed the deal to acquire xAI, a smaller firm known for its Grok chatbot, posting a memo from Musk about the merger on its website.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. However, a source familiar said it valued xAI at $125bn (£91bn) and SpaceX at $1tn, making it the most valuable private company ever.
In his memo, Musk said the combination would form an ”innovation engine” putting AI, rockets, space-based internet, and media under one roof.

Donald Trump is threatening to sue comedian Trevor Noah over a “garbage” joke made about Epstein island at the Grammy Awards.
The comedian hosted last night’s (February 1) ceremony in Los Angeles, which saw several political comments made throughout, with winners like Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish and Olivia Dean speaking out against ICE and the administration in their speeches.
Trump was the target of several barbs over the course of Sunday’s ceremony, and before the Song of the Year winner was named, Noah quipped: “That is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton.”

Videotipsen är tillbaka – Magasin Mackens förklaringar, tips och texter där det finns en längre förklarande video har nu en egen avdelning – Videotips.
Videotipsen har tidigare legat under podd-avdelningen som nu verkligen ska bli en podd, en renodlad ljudpodd. Magasin Macken dammar alltså av podd-konceptet och blåser nytt liv (nåja) i B3nken, vår podd.
Inledningsvis så siktar vi på ett avsnitt i månaden, enbart ljud och runt halvtimmen långt.
Innehåll – hemligt än så länge.
Lansering, nypremiär, lika hemligt det.
