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 ⬇️👇🏻

“I do not recall speaking to Mr. Epstein for more than a decade prior to his 2019 arrest” on sex trafficking charges, Bill Clinton’s declaration said. Epstein, who pleaded guilty in Florida to state charges of soliciting a minor in 2008, died in jail in 2019 while he was awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking charges in 2021 and is serving a 20-year prison sentence.

Comer said beforehand that the committee planned to question Clinton about the pictures, any involvement Epstein might have had with his Clinton Global Initiative and trips Epstein made to the White House while Clinton was president.

Clinton said in his declaration that Epstein “may well have attended any of the many hundreds of White House events or receptions during my eight years in office,” but “I do not recall encountering Mr. Epstein, or any specific interactions with him, while in office.”

The Oversight Committee in August subpoenaed the Clintons and several former top Justice Department officials to testify about Epstein. After months of back-and-forth, the former first couple agreed to testify as the House was moving toward voting on contempt resolutions for them.

Comer told reporters that Hillary Clinton was questioned Thursday about Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Lutnick acknowledged this month that he’d visited Epstein’s island with his family in 2012.
