Bill Clinton breaks silence with video statement after Epstein testimony

Bill Clinton says ‘I saw nothing and did nothing wrong’ in video message after years-long Epstein testimony

Former President Bill Clinton released a video statement following hours of closed-door testimony before the House Oversight Committee regarding his past association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In the message, Clinton firmly denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes, stating he “saw nothing and did nothing wrong” during their limited interactions.

The former president emphasized that his acquaintance with Epstein occurred years before the full scope of the financier’s criminal activity became public.

Clinton said he cooperated fully with lawmakers, answering questions about past meetings and travel linked to Epstein. He maintained that had he been aware of any illegal behavior, he would have severed ties immediately and alerted authorities.

The testimony marks a significant moment in the long-running scrutiny surrounding Epstein’s network of high-profile associates. Lawmakers from both parties have continued to examine who may have had knowledge of his activities and whether any warning signs were ignored.

Clinton concluded his video by urging transparency and accountability, saying he hopes the investigation helps ensure that “abuse like this never happens again.”

The Oversight Committee has not yet released a full transcript of the deposition, and the broader inquiry remains ongoing.
