"Instead, you have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump's actions and to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers. This institutional failure is designed to protect one political party and one public official, rather than to seek truth and justice for the victims and survivors, as well as the public who also want to get to the bottom of this matter."
"If this committee is serious about learning the truth about Epstein's trafficking crimes, it would not rely on press gaggles to get answers from our current president on his involvement; it would ask him directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein files."
Hillary Clinton appeared before Rep. James Comer's Oversight Committee for a six-hour closed session regarding Jeffrey Epstein. She released her opening statement publicly before the hearing began, characterizing the proceeding as politically motivated. Clinton argued the committee compelled her testimony despite her having no relevant knowledge, claiming the real purpose was to distract from Trump's actions and protect one political party. She expressed concern for Epstein's victims and criticized the committee for not directly questioning the current president under oath about his extensive mentions in Epstein files. This continued a pattern of Republican congressional investigations into Clinton spanning three decades, all of which she has effectively countered.
