Former President Bill Clinton was set to tell the House Oversight Committee on Friday morning in testimony about Jeffrey Epstein that “I saw nothing and I did nothing wrong” during their times flying together or socializing.
“First, I had no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing,” Clinton planned to say during his closed-door deposition, which was underway in Chappaqua, New York.
“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. I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn’t see,” Clinton said to say.
“I know what I did, and more importantly, what I didn’t do,” he planned to say. “I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong.”
“As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing — I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals,” Clinton planned to say. “But even with 20/20 hindsight, I saw nothing that ever gave me pause.”
