"I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein. Like every decent person, I have been horrified by what we have learned about their crimes."
"The depositions in the Clintons' hometown of Chappaqua, a typically quiet hamlet north of New York City, come after months of tense back-and-forth between the former high-powered Democratic couple and the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee as it investigates Epstein, who killed himself in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial."
"The Clintons, too, agreed to testify after their offers of sworn statements were rebuffed by the Oversight panel and its chairman, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., threatened criminal contempt of Congress charges against them."
Hillary Clinton appeared for a closed-door deposition before the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. She stated she had no knowledge of Epstein's or Maxwell's criminal activities and did not recall ever encountering Epstein. The deposition lasted over six hours in Chappaqua, New York. Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to testify in subsequent days, marking the first time a former president has been forced to testify before Congress. The Clintons initially offered sworn statements but agreed to in-person testimony after the Oversight Committee rejected that option and threatened contempt charges. Hillary Clinton previously acknowledged her husband flew with Epstein for charitable purposes but stated she never met him.
