Bill Clinton Denies Knowledge of Epstein Crimes in Rare Compelled House Testimony

The closed-door deposition marked a rare instance of Congress compelling a former president to testify.

Overview

  • House Oversight leaders say they will release video and transcripts of the Clintons’ depositions and plan additional interviews, including Epstein’s bookkeeper and his lawyer.
  • Hillary Clinton testified the previous day, denying any meeting with Epstein or knowledge of his crimes, as Republicans consider a perjury inquiry into parts of her account.
  • Democrats argue the probe is partisan and urge subpoenas for President Donald Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, citing unanswered questions from newly released DOJ records.
  • Committee Republicans highlight logs showing Epstein visited the White House 17 times and that Bill Clinton took at least 27 flights on Epstein’s jet, while Clinton says his contacts ended before 2008 and he observed no wrongdoing.
  • Accounts from the session indicate Clinton addressed a photo of him in a whirlpool with an unidentified woman, saying he did not know her and had no sexual contact, with members pressing to publish the full record to resolve disputes.
