"I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong. Even with 20/20 hindsight, I saw nothing that ever gave me pause. We are only here because he hid it from everyone so well for so long. By the time it came to light with his 2008 guilty plea, I had long stopped associating with him."
"Clinton, who served as US president from January 1993 until January 2001, told the committee that he would never have used Epstein's plane if he had known about his alleged sex trafficking of underage girls. Epstein was jailed in 2008 for soliciting prostitution from a minor. He died by suicide in jail in 2019 while facing federal sex-trafficking crimes."
Bill Clinton testified before a US congressional committee in a closed-door deposition regarding his relationship with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Clinton stated he had "no idea" about Epstein's crimes and saw nothing wrong. This marks the first time a former US president has been compelled to testify to Congress. The committee examined photos, emails, and travel records connecting Clinton to Epstein. Clinton acknowledged traveling on Epstein's plane in the early 2000s but claimed he would never have done so had he known about Epstein's alleged sex trafficking of minors. Epstein was convicted in 2008 for soliciting prostitution from a minor and died by suicide in jail in 2019 while facing federal charges. Clinton stated he had ceased association with Epstein by the time his crimes became public.
