Metro53 - New York (Web Desk) – A committee of the United States House of Representatives has released closed-door deposition videos of former U.S. President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as part of ongoing investigations related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
According to reports, the Clinton couple appeared before the committee last week, where they were questioned about their past associations with Epstein.
A new development emerged when Bill Clinton allegedly revealed that current U.S. President Donald Trump had once told him that he had “some of the best times” with Epstein. The claim has drawn significant media attention amid the broader investigation.
Hillary Clinton told the committee that she did not personally know Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Clinton stated that he had severed ties with Epstein before the 2008 conviction related to sexual offenses involving minors. He maintained that he had done nothing wrong.
Hillary Clinton further called for President Trump to be summoned under oath, arguing that he should be directly questioned about the thousands of references linked to his name in the Epstein files.
It is important to note that inclusion of a name in documents released by the United States Department of Justice does not in itself constitute proof of wrongdoing. Like Bill Clinton, Donald Trump has not been formally charged in connection with the case.
Bill Clinton has previously acknowledged multiple meetings with Epstein and confirmed traveling on Epstein’s private jet in the early 2000s for humanitarian work related to the Clinton Foundation. However, he has denied ever visiting Epstein’s private Caribbean island, where minors were allegedly trafficked for influential figures.
Jeffrey Epstein was convicted in 2008 for soliciting a minor and was facing federal sex trafficking charges at the time of his death in a New York jail in 2019. His death was officially ruled a suicide, though various conspiracy theories have circulated since.
Initially, the Clinton couple opposed the subpoenas but later agreed to provide testimony after Republican members of the House threatened contempt of Congress proceedings. Democrats have argued that the investigation is being politically weaponized to target President Trump’s opponents.
