Hillary Clinton denied any connection to Jeffrey Epstein during six hours of closed-door testimony before the House Oversight Committee on February 26 in Chappaqua, New York. She said she never met Epstein, flew on his plane, or visited his properties, and insisted she had no knowledge of his crimes.
Clinton accused Republicans of politicizing the investigation and challenged them to subpoena Donald Trump to testify under oath about his name appearing in Epstein-related records. She also criticized the Trump administration’s record on human trafficking.
Committee Chairman James Comer rejected claims of partisanship, saying lawmakers are seeking clarity about any interactions between the Clintons, Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell. He said transcripts of the testimony would be released.
Clinton said she answered all questions and condemned Republicans for keeping the deposition private. Democrats, including Rep. Robert Garcia, also called for Trump and others with ties to Epstein to testify.
Law enforcement has not accused Trump or former President Bill Clinton of wrongdoing in the Epstein case. Both have acknowledged past contact with Epstein but say they cut ties years before his 2008 conviction.
