Overview
- Clinton testified for more than six hours in Chappaqua, New York, marking the first time Congress has compelled a former president to appear in this inquiry.
- Under oath he said he saw nothing and did nothing wrong, said he cut ties years before Epstein’s 2008 conviction, acknowledged multiple jet flights for Clinton Foundation work, and denied visiting Epstein’s island.
- The appearance followed Hillary Clinton’s closed deposition, as both said they had no information about Epstein’s crimes and had asked for public, televised sessions.
- Committee chair James Comer said the interview was productive and plans to release video and transcripts, while Democrats called for a subpoena to President Trump.
- The questioning follows Justice Department releases of millions of records, images, and videos that include photos of Clinton with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and no charges have been brought against the Clintons.
