Former US President Bill Clinton reportedly told investigators that he did not have sexual relations with a woman photographed with him in a jacuzzi connected to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Sources cited by CNN and NBC say Clinton claimed he does not know the woman’s identity, emphasizing that he was not involved in any sexual misconduct.
Clinton’s deposition before the House Oversight Committee lasted roughly six hours and was conducted behind closed doors at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center. Neither the former president nor his legal team addressed the press afterward. Instead, Clinton chose to frame his response via social media, stating in an opening message that he “saw nothing” and “did nothing wrong.” Committee members described the session as “productive,” noting that Clinton sometimes spoke more candidly than his attorneys preferred.
Lawmakers pressed Clinton on newly released Epstein files, including photographs showing him alongside Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a prison sentence for sex trafficking. The questioning also covered his presence in Epstein flight logs and White House visitor records from the 1990s. Clinton reportedly reiterated that he never visited Epstein’s private island and maintained that his interactions with Epstein were limited and unaware of any criminal activity.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer noted that Clinton attempted to answer all questions, even when his attorney advised otherwise. Rep. Nancy Mace publicly thanked the former president for his cooperation. Clinton’s legal representation was handled by longtime attorney David Kendall, while spokesperson Angel Urena criticized the Justice Department’s handling of Epstein-related evidence. Hillary Clinton, who testified briefly the day before, called the inquiry “political theater.”
Video and transcript releases of both Clintons’ testimonies are pending legal review. The depositions are part of a broader congressional investigation into individuals connected to Epstein’s network, with additional subpoenas anticipated in the coming weeks.
