Former U.S. President Bill Clinton testified under oath on Friday, February 27, 2026, that he had "no inkling" of Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activities during their past interactions. The closed-door hearing, part of a broader congressional investigation, saw Clinton assert he "saw nothing that gave me pause" while associating with the late financier, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Clinton’s testimony followed his public statement released earlier this week, where he emphasized his "zero tolerance" for abuse and denied flying on Epstein’s plane after 2003. "I would have turned him in myself," he declared, referencing his childhood experience with domestic violence.
The deposition occurred just one day after his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, testified that she "did not recall" ever meeting Epstein. Both Clintons criticized the inquiry as politically motivated, accusing lawmakers of targeting them to divert attention from former President Donald Trump’s ties to Epstein.
Over 3 million pages of Epstein-related documents have been released by the U.S. Justice Department since 2025, with Clinton’s photos appearing in recently disclosed files. Committee Chair James Comer confirmed transcripts and video of the testimonies will be made public soon. 🔍
