Bill Clinton Testifies Behind Closed Doors to House Panel on Epstein Ties, Denies Wrongdoing

Overview

• Bill Clinton answered House Oversight questions for more than six hours in a closed session in Chappaqua, stating he “did not see anything” and “did not do anything wrong.”
• He acknowledged taking flights on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane for Clinton Foundation work and said he never visited Epstein’s properties, according to his prepared remarks.
• Hillary Clinton testified the day before, saying she does not recall meeting Epstein and never flew on his plane or visited his locations, and her interview was briefly halted after a photo leak.
• The Clintons agreed to appear only after House Republicans threatened contempt proceedings following their missed January date, and the committee plans to release interview recordings or transcripts.
• Renewed scrutiny stems from recent Justice Department releases of millions of Epstein case files and images, including photos of Bill Clinton with Epstein, as Democrats press for Trump to be compelled to testify.
