Bill Clinton on Jeffrey Epstein: ‘I did nothing wrong’

“I didn’t see anything and I didn’t do anything wrong” when they flew or socialized together, former President Bill Clinton told the House Oversight Committee in his testimony about Jeffrey Epstein on Friday morning.

“First of all, I had no idea about the crimes that Epstein committed,” Clinton planned to say during her closed-door deposition in Chappaqua, New York.

“No matter how many photos you show me, at the end of the day, I have two things that are more important than your interpretation of those 20-year-old photos. I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn’t see,” Clinton said.

“I know what I did and, more importantly, what I didn’t do,” he planned to say. “I didn’t see anything and I didn’t do anything wrong.”

“As someone who grew up in a domestic-violence home, if I had the slightest idea what he was doing, I would not only have boarded his plane, but I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not for his love dealings,” Clinton said. he planned to say.

“But even with 20/20 hindsight, I didn’t see anything that would give me pause.”

Clinton also criticized the committee on Thursday for forcing his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to testify about notorious sex predator Epstein. The committee issued subpoenas to both Clintons asking them to testify, threatening to hold them in contempt of Congress if they did not comply.

Hillary Clinton said she told the panel she had never met Epstein or had any knowledge of his sexual abuse of young women and underage girls.

“Before we begin, I need to speak personally,” Bill Clinton said, according to prepared testimony. Account X has been sent.

The former president would say, “You guys got Hillary 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. It was simply not right to subpoena 10 people or 10,000 people.”

The House Oversight Committee has not requested testimony about Epstein from President Donald Trump.

The two men were friends for years before breaking up in the early 2000s.

Epstein was arrested in July 2019 on federal child sex trafficking charges during Trump’s first presidential administration.

Epstein killed himself weeks later in a federal prison in New York City.

Trump said millions of documents related to Epstein recently released by the Justice Department cleared him of any wrongdoing.

For months last year, Trump opposed the bill in Congress that would force the Department of Justice to release these files. When it became clear that Congress would pass this bill, he withdrew his opposition and signed it into law in late November.
