Hillary Clinton Says She Has No New Information on Jeffrey Epstein

Hillary Clinton told lawmakers she has no information about Jeffrey Epstein and does not recall meeting him. She denied knowledge of his crimes, as the House Oversight Committee continues its investigation, with Bill Clinton also set to testify.

Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified before a congressional committee on Thursday that she has no new information regarding disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and does not recall ever meeting him.
In her opening statement, Clinton said the committee justified its subpoena based on the assumption that she possessed information about investigations into Epstein’s criminal activities and those of his convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. “Let me be as clear as I can,” she said. “I do not.”
The Republican-led House Oversight Committee questioned the former First Lady behind closed doors at her home in Chappaqua, New York, where she resides with former President Bill Clinton. In a statement shared on social media, she said she had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal conduct and did not recall ever encountering him. She added that she never flew on his plane or visited his private island or office.
Committee Chair James Comer said prior to the deposition that he intended to release video footage and a transcript of the interview once approval is granted. Afterward, he told reporters that investigators were not fully satisfied with some of the answers provided, stating that the purpose of the inquiry was to better understand matters related to Epstein.
Bill Clinton, who had a documented association with Epstein and flew on his private plane several times in the early 2000s, is scheduled to appear for his own deposition on Friday. He has denied any wrongdoing and has previously expressed regret over his association with Epstein. Hillary Clinton said she was confident her husband was unaware of Epstein’s crimes during the period they were in contact, adding that his connection to Epstein ended years before the financier’s criminal activities became public.
The depositions are considered extraordinary, as they involve compelling a former US president to testify before a congressional committee. The investigation has drawn bipartisan attention, with some Democrats also calling for greater transparency. The inquiry intensified after the Clintons initially declined to testify but later agreed when lawmakers moved to hold them in contempt of Congress over a subpoena issued in August.
During her testimony, Hillary Clinton shifted focus to President Donald Trump, urging the committee to question him under oath about his own links to Epstein. She argued that if the panel is serious about uncovering the truth behind Epstein’s trafficking crimes, it should address Trump’s appearances in the so-called Epstein files and accused the committee of attempting to shield a public official.
The top Democrat on the committee, Robert Garcia, also called on Trump to testify, saying he should answer questions raised by survivors and the public.
Trump had socialized with Epstein during the 1990s and early 2000s, prior to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor. However, Comer stated that evidence gathered by the committee does not implicate Trump in Epstein’s crimes.
Photographs of Bill Clinton with Epstein and Maxwell were released in December as part of an initial batch of documents made public by the Justice Department. To date, the department has released more than three million pages of documents related to Epstein in compliance with a 2025 law mandating greater transparency in the handling of the case.
