House Releases Clinton Epstein Deposition Videos, Clinton Deny Involvement

The House Oversight Committee released hours of deposition videos this week showing former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton answering questions about Jeffrey Epstein. The recordings, spanning two days last week, capture the Clintons distancing themselves from Epstein as lawmakers seek accountability for anyone who was aware of or ignored the abuse of underage girls.

Bill Clinton tells the committee he ended his relationship with Epstein years before Epstein entered a 2008 guilty plea to soliciting prostitution from a minor. He says he never saw any evidence of wrongdoing and that his past dealings with Epstein did not involve sexual crimes. He also recounts a separate anecdote in which Donald Trump allegedly mentioned Epstein, saying that Trump had told him they had “some great times” together, a remark Clinton described as a personal history note rather than proof of impropriety.

Hillary Clinton, in her deposition, said she never recalls meeting Epstein and suggested questions about her knowledge be addressed with Trump directly. She emphasized that she had no involvement in Epstein’s activities and asserted that her memory of the matter is clear in her absence of any direct interaction with Epstein or his associates.

The depositions, released Monday, come as lawmakers push to understand whether anyone in positions of influence was aware of Epstein’s abuse or failed to act. Epstein died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial, a fact often referenced in discussing the broader implications of the case. The committee stated its intent to scrutinize all potential accountability pathways for people who knew or should have known about Epstein’s conduct, regardless of political affiliation.

Republicans on the committee have framed the videos as part of ongoing inquiries into the Epstein matter, with some raising conspiracy theories about the breadth of the investigations. The White House did not respond immediately to the release. While the videos shed light on the Clintons’ interactions with Epstein and Trump’s past remarks, they did not produce new evidence of criminal involvement by the Clintons themselves. The hearings continue to be a focal point in the broader debate over accountability and the handling of Epstein’s crimes.
