Bill Clinton Testifies in House Epstein Probe, Denies Wrongdoing

Video and transcripts from the closed sessions are set for public release next.

Overview

  • Bill Clinton appeared for a closed deposition in Chappaqua and said he had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes and committed no wrongdoing.
  • He acknowledged limited flights with Epstein in 2002–2003 related to Clinton Foundation work, and Justice Department materials indicate he did not visit Epstein’s Caribbean island.
  • Hillary Clinton testified the day before, stating she has no information about Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell and recalling no meeting with Epstein, flights on his plane, or visits to his properties.
  • Committee chair James Comer said the panel will release video and transcripts of both depositions soon, after a blogger posted images from Hillary Clinton’s closed session that he claimed were sent by Rep. Lauren Boebert, a type of disclosure considered a rules violation.
  • Democrats on the committee said the Clintons’ questioning should lead to calling other high-profile figures named in records, including Donald Trump.
