Bill Clinton Testifies Under Oath in Epstein Probe — Says “I Saw Nothing”

It’s not every day a former president answers questions under oath about one of the most disturbing scandals in modern history.

But that’s exactly what happened.

Former President Bill Clinton delivered a prepared opening statement Friday as part of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

And his message was direct.

“I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong.”

“A Brief Acquaintance”

According to his prepared remarks, Clinton described his relationship with Epstein as a “brief acquaintance” that ended years before Epstein’s crimes came to light.

He told lawmakers he never witnessed any indication of criminal behavior during their limited interactions.

“The girls and women whose lives Jeffrey Epstein destroyed deserve not only justice, but healing,” Clinton said in the statement released ahead of questioning.

Still, he acknowledged something that could frustrate investigators: because of the years that have passed, he would likely say “I don’t recall” often during testimony.

He admitted that might be “unsatisfying.”

Hillary Clinton’s Deposition Sparks Tension

The day before, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified behind closed doors for more than six hours.

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace claimed Hillary Clinton became “unhinged” during questioning a charge that her spokesperson forcefully denied.

Meanwhile, Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia criticized Republicans for allegedly asking about UFOs and conspiracy theories like “Pizzagate” during the deposition, calling it a distraction from the core issue.

The political divide was unmistakable.

Why This Matters

Epstein’s crimes exposed deep failures across powerful institutions from finance to academia to politics.

Clinton has appeared in Epstein-related documents before, including flight logs, but has consistently denied any knowledge of wrongdoing.

It’s important to note: appearing in documents does not equal criminal guilt.

However, sworn testimony elevates scrutiny and public interest.

What Happens Next?

Lawmakers have indicated they hope to release video of the depositions.

The broader investigation continues, and with it, public questions about who knew what and when.

For now, Clinton’s defense is clear and on record.

He says he knew nothing.

He says he did nothing wrong.

The investigation will determine what comes next.
