Bill Clinton Denies Knowledge of Epstein Crimes in Congressional Testimony
Former United States President Bill Clinton delivered a forceful testimony before Congress today, vehemently denying any awareness of Jeffrey Epstein's criminal activities. In a closed-door deposition held in New York, Clinton told lawmakers, "I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong," addressing long-standing questions about his ties to the convicted sex offender.
Clinton's Pre-Testimony Statements and Republican Criticism
Ahead of the hearing, Clinton expressed frustration on social media, stating, "I have called for the full release of the Epstein files. I have provided a sworn statement of what I know. And just this week, I've agreed to appear in person before the committee. But it's still not enough for Republicans on the House Oversight Committee." Both Bill and Hillary Clinton have consistently denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein, despite being mentioned multiple times in the released documents.
Heated Exchange Over Hillary Clinton's Involvement
During the testimony, Bill Clinton became visibly agitated when questioned about his wife's connection to the case. He stated, "Before we start, I have to get personal. You made Hillary come in. She had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Nothing. She has no memory of even meeting him. She neither traveled with him nor visited any of his properties. Whether you subpoenaed 10 people or 10,000, including her was simply not right."
Hillary Clinton's Deposition and Accusations Against Trump
In her own deposition before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee yesterday, Hillary Clinton echoed her husband's denials. She said, "I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein. I never flew on his plane or visited his island, homes, or offices. I have nothing to add to that." After detailing her past efforts to combat sex trafficking, she accused the committee of compelling her testimony as a distraction from former President Donald Trump's actions.
Hillary Clinton added, "If this Committee is serious about learning the truth about Epstein's trafficking crimes, it would not rely on press gaggles to get answers from our current president on his involvement; it would ask him directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein files." Trump's name appears more than 38,000 times in the millions of Epstein documents released by the Department of Justice.
She concluded, "If the majority were serious, it would not waste time on fishing expeditions. There is too much that needs to be done. What is being held back? Who is being protected? And why the cover-up?" The testimonies highlight the ongoing political tensions surrounding the Epstein case, with both Clintons framing the investigations as partisan efforts rather than genuine pursuits of justice.
