WATCH: An Exhausted Bill Clinton Releases Video Statement on His Epstein Deposition
Bill Clinton released a video statement on Friday following his deposition related to Jeffrey Epstein. Earlier that day, he testified before the House Oversight Committee from an office in Chappaqua, New York, about his past connections to Epstein.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told reporters that Clinton stated, to his knowledge, President Trump was not involved with Epstein. “Trump has never said anything to me to make me think he was involved with Epstein,” Comer said.
Fox News reported that Clinton’s legal team intervened several times during the deposition to limit his answers.
Later Friday evening, Clinton spoke publicly after his seven-hour deposition. “I just finished testifying in front of the House Oversight Committee. I did it for two reasons. First, I love my country, including our Constitution. America was built on the idea that no person is above the law. Even presidents. Especially presidents. We should all live under the same set of rules,” he said.
He added, “Though my brief acquaintance with Epstein ended years before his crimes came to light, and though I never witnessed during our limited interactions any indication of what was truly going on, I offered the little I do know in hopes that it might prevent anything like this from ever happening again.”
Clinton emphasized his own perspective on the matter: “I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn’t see. And I know what I did, and more importantly, what I didn’t do,” echoing his opening remarks to the Committee.
He also criticized the Oversight Committee for calling Hillary Clinton to testify. “I also have to say something personal. Republicans made Hillary testify yesterday. She had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein, nothing. She has no memory of even meeting him,” Clinton said.
Earlier on Friday, President Trump appeared to defend Clinton, stating, “I don’t like seeing him deposed, but they certainly went after me a lot more than that.”
