Former President Bill Clinton was prepared to tell the House Oversight Committee on Friday morning in testimony about Jeffrey Epstein that “I saw nothing and I did nothing wrong” while flying or socializing with him.
“First of all, I had no knowledge of the crimes committed by Epstein,” Clinton planned to say during her closed-door deposition, which was being held in Chappaqua, New York.
Clinton said, “No matter how many photos you show me, I have two things that matter more at the end of the day than your interpretation of those 20-year-old photos. I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn’t see.”
He planned to say, “I know what I did, and more importantly, what I didn’t do.” “I didn’t see anything, and I didn’t do anything wrong.”
Clinton planned to say, “As someone who grew up in a domestic abusive home, if I had the slightest idea what he was doing I would not only have boarded his plane but I would have turned him in and led the demand for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals.” “But even with 20/20 hindsight, I didn’t see anything that would ever make me stop.”
Clinton also criticized the committee on Thursday for forcing his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to testify about notorious sexual predator Epstein. The committee issued subpoenas to both Clintons demanding their testimony, and threatened to arrest them in contempt of Congress if they failed to comply.
Hillary Clinton says she told the panel that she had no recollection of ever meeting Epstein, nor was she aware of his sexual abuse of young women and underage girls.
“Before I start, I have to talk personally,” Bill Clinton said, according to prepared testimony posted on his X account.
The former president was about to say, “You forced Hillary to come in. She had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Nothing. She has no recollection of even meeting him.”
“She neither traveled with him nor visited any of his properties. Whether you summoned 10 people or 10,000 people, including him was simply not right.”
