Former President Bill Clinton testified under subpoena in a closed-door deposition before the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his network. Over about six hours of questioning in Chappaqua, New York, Clinton repeatedly denied any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities, emphasized that their interactions were limited and long predating Epstein’s known crimes, and stressed he “did nothing wrong.” He said he saw “nothing” that gave him pause, may say “I don’t recall” on old interactions, and maintained that any association ended years before Epstein’s first criminal conviction. Clinton also defended his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who had testified a day earlier and said she had no meaningful connection to Epstein.

Republicans on the committee used the deposition to probe Clinton’s past travel on Epstein’s plane and old photos released in the Epstein Files, while Democrats framed the testimony as part of a broader push for transparency and have called for other high-profile figures, including President Donald Trump, to testify as well. Clinton’s testimony marked the first time a former U.S. president was compelled to testify before Congress under subpoena in this context, and the committee may release the transcript or video publicly at its discretion
