Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, testified before the US Congress in connection with the scandal surrounding sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Hillary Clinton testified on Thursday, denying any connection to Epstein and claiming she did not know him. Former President Bill Clinton subsequently testified under oath before lawmakers on Friday about his ties to the financier.
In his testimony, Clinton consistently maintained that he had no idea about the sex offender's crimes. Otherwise, by his own admission, he would not have flown on the financier's plane and would instead have reported Epstein to the authorities. Clinton emphasized that he had been in contact with Epstein and had flown on his plane, but claims he never crossed into the realm of criminal activity. In his testimony he remarked: "I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn't see."
In her testimony, Hillary Clinton supported her husband's claimed lack of knowledge of Epstein's crimes. The statements of both Clintons agree in that they have long claimed to have cut off contact with Epstein. Members of Congress addressed not only the former president's ties to the financier, but also his relationships with Epstein's partner. These testimonies took place at a time when the Clintons are under increased media pressure in connection with the overall case surrounding sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
