Bill Clinton's Life at 79
Clinton served as the 42nd President of the United States from January 1993 to January 2001. He is the third-youngest person ever elected president, having taken office at age 46. He is one of only three presidents in American history to be impeached by the House of Representatives, surviving a Senate acquittal in 1999. His wife Hillary Clinton is 78, born October 26, 1947.
Clinton's Health History
Clinton has had a well-documented medical history in his later years. He underwent quadruple bypass surgery in 2004 and had additional cardiac procedures in 2010. In October 2021, he was hospitalized for six days with a urinary tract infection that spread to his bloodstream — a condition his doctors described as non-COVID-related sepsis. He recovered fully and has maintained a public schedule since.
Clinton This Week: Historic Deposition at Age 79
Bill Clinton made history Friday, February 27, 2026, becoming the first former U.S. president ever compelled to testify before a congressional committee under subpoena. His six-hour closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee in Chappaqua, New York, centered on his past associations with deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Clinton denied under oath ever visiting Epstein's private island, denied having sex with any of the women shown to him in photographs, and said he had no knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities. The deposition concluded at approximately 6:30 PM ET today — making it the single most consequential day of Clinton's public life since he left the White House in 2001.
