Former President Bill Clinton told members of the Republican-led House Oversight Committee investigating his ties to Jeffrey Epstein that “I saw nothing” and “did nothing wrong.” “As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing—I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes,” Clinton said of Epstein in his opening statement to the panel, which he posted on X. 👇🏻⬇️more in the 1rst comments ⬇️👇🏻

Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat on the committee, said Friday before Clinton’s testimony that “we have real questions that deserve serious answers” from the former president, and he reiterated his calls for the panel to question President Donald Trump, as well.

The Clinton interview began around 11 a.m. ET, according to a person familiar with the matter. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., told reporters about an hour into the deposition that Clinton was “being very cooperative” and “answering all of our questions.”

Trump was the subject of some of the questions, lawmakers said. Comer told reporters Clinton said Trump “has never said anything to me to make me think he was involved” with Epstein.

Garcia said Comer’s remarks were “not an accurate description” of the questioning. He said that Clinton “did bring up some addi
tional information about some discussions with President Trump” and that a full record “brings up some very important new questions about comments that President Trump has actually said in the past.” He did not elaborate, but he called for the full transcript to be released.
