Former US President Bill Clinton on Friday denied before a congressional committee any wrongdoing in connection with his contacts with convicted sexual offender Jeffrey Epstein. In his testimony before the House Oversight Committee, he consistently maintained that he had no knowledge of the financier's crimes.
In his opening statement, Clinton emphasized that he saw nothing and did nothing wrong. The former president once again confirmed his long-standing position that he would not have flown on Epstein's plane or maintained relations with him had he known about his criminal activity. In his testimony, he also noted that he had been in contact with the financier and had flown on his plane, but insists that he never entered the sphere of criminal activity.
The hearing was held behind closed doors in the town of Chappaqua in the state of New York, where both Clintons live. Democratic congressmen are simultaneously demanding that former President Donald Trump also be questioned regarding his possible ties to Epstein. Clinton's testimony follows the questioning of his wife Hillary Clinton, who testified before Congress on Thursday and likewise denied any connection to the convicted sexual offender. Both testimonies underscore the Clintons' effort to distance themselves from the Epstein scandal amid the ongoing investigation.
