Former President Bill Clinton flatly insisted Friday there was nothing improper about his relationship with the sex predator and financier Jeffrey Epstein.
“I had no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing,” Clinton told members of Congress during a sworn deposition in which lawmakers planned to ask about photos of him in Esptein’s company.
“No matter how many photos you show me, I have two things that at the end of the day matter more than your interpretation of those 20-year-old photos,” Clinton said, according to a written opening statement he posted online. “I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn’t see. I know what I did, and more importantly, what I didn’t do. I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong.”
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said before the depostion that Republicans would ask Clinton about the images of Clinton with Epstein.
“I think everyone’s seen there are a lot of photos that have been released by the Department of Justice, as well as to say there’s a lot of email correspondence that included President Clinton,” Comer told reporters before heading into the deposition in the Clintons’ hometown of Chappaqua, New York.
