00:00Why did your relationship with Mr. Epstein end?
00:07Well, after a year or two, we really picked up a head of steam with this AIDS program.
00:13And a lot of other people whom I knew better and who really cared about the work
00:21came forward and offered to help us provide transportation.
00:26And I thought Mr. Epstein was an interesting man, but I didn't think he was really interested in what I
00:36was doing.
00:37That is, he asked all these questions.
00:39He did ask about economics and politics, as he said he would.
00:47And he never asked me anything untoward.
00:53It's just that I didn't think, I thought I had done what I promised to do.
00:58And he had done what he promised to do.
01:01And I thought, I've always, over the years, with these donors, tried not to overstay my welcome.
01:09I thought that we'd done enough and then it's time to start working with other people.
01:14I'm here today basically for two reasons.
01:17First of all, I love my country and the Constitution.
01:24And I believe America was built on the idea that no one is above the law.
01:32Especially presidents.
01:35And that we should all live by the same set of rules, shape of the Constitution.
01:41Democracy requires every person to play their part.
01:44And I hope that by being here today, we can bring ourselves a little further away from the brink.
01:50And back to being a country where we can disagree civilly and search for the truth and justice.
01:58And that that outweighs the partisan urge for spectacle and point scoring.
02:05I will do my part.
02:07And I hope you'll do yours.
02:11The second reason I'm here is that the girls and women whose lives Jeffrey Epstein destroyed
02:17deserve not just justice but healing.
02:20They've been waiting too long for both.
02:24Through my brief acquaintance with Jeffrey Epstein,
02:28though it ended years before his crimes came to light,
02:32and though I never witnessed during our limited interactions
02:35any indication of what was going on,
02:41I'm here to offer what little I know
02:46so I can do my part to prevent something like this from happening again.
02:53I have to say one personal thing.
02:57Since Hillary came in yesterday,
03:00she had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein.
03:04Nothing.
03:05There's a picture of us both shaking hands with him
03:08in a photo line in 1993
03:11at a fundraiser for the White House Historical Association.
03:16I don't know how it is under President Trump,
03:19but when I was there,
03:21it was about the most non-political operation you can imagine.
03:25There were people who loved the White House,
03:27who were interested in it,
03:28would give a little money every year
03:30to do things that needed to do it around the house.
03:34And nothing nearly as extravagant as the ballroom or any of that,
03:38just things that had to be done.
03:44And neither she nor I remembered shaking his hand all those years ago.
03:51So I don't think that was right.
03:54On the other hand, I do think you should be talking to me.
03:57I think you should have called me.
03:59I did take those plane trips with him.
04:02And you have a right to ask those questions.
04:06So I'm glad to be here.
04:08And I understand what the oath is.
04:14I have to be honest with you.
04:17You know, I'll be 80 years old if I loved him the next birthday.
04:21I don't remember everything that happened 24 years ago,
04:23but I do remember some things.
04:25And I will tell you what I remember as best I can.
04:30We, each of us, owe the victims nothing less than the truth and accuracy.
04:38We owe that to the American people.
04:40And I actually hope that you will be able to come up with some suggestions
04:49that will reduce human trafficking and especially focus on underage girls.
04:55I hope you'll be able to do that.
04:57I know that Hillary talked a little yesterday about what the State Department does
05:07and what she pushed on human trafficking and girls when she was Secretary of State.
05:17We had to deal with it.
05:19And in my foundation, I saw it in Nigeria when Boko Haram was rampaging through the north of Nigeria.
05:35And we were working there trying to stop deaths from diarrhea for young children.
05:43And it was interesting.
05:46These guys were cold and calculated.
05:48They said, oh, you don't have to leave because the kids you're helping are younger than the ones we want.
05:54They have to be about nine before they're worth anything to us.
05:59So, this is really important.
06:03And I will do what I can to make whatever contribution I can.
06:07And in particular, I want to focus on three survivors who have shared stories that involve you.
06:14So, I want to begin with Maria Farmer.
06:16Do you know who Maria Farmer is?
06:18Maria Farmer was employed by Jeffrey Epstein and abused by him for a number of years.
06:23And she first reported her abuse to the New York PD and FBI in 1996.
06:30And she states that she has personal knowledge that you visited Jeffrey Epstein's house three to four times while you
06:39were the sitting president between 1995 and 1996.
06:43And she says she knows this based on photographs that Colleen Maxwell showed to her, as well as discussions with
06:50the staff.
06:51So, let me ask you, Mr. President, did you visit Jeffrey Epstein's house while you were president?
06:57I do not remember doing that.
06:59I do not believe I did.
07:02How do you explain this discrepancy?
07:05Objection calls for him to speculate.
07:07I can't speculate, but all I can tell you is I do not remember being there.
07:14Okay.
07:15Moving on to Virginia Roberts-Jufray.
07:18Are you familiar with her?
07:19Mm-hmm.
07:21As has already been established, she has stated in numerous sworn statements, including a sworn deposition,
07:28in the deposition, in the Maxwell trial, that she saw you on the island with Jeffrey Epstein.
07:36And, in fact, this morning, her family shared her diary with me.
07:40And in it is a quote wherein she writes, quote,
07:46Bill Clinton met two times island with two girls, C, T, G, M, and J, E.
07:53What is your reaction to that?
07:55It's not true.
07:57Do you have any dates associated with that?
07:59Were there dates on the diary?
08:01I don't have that information, but we'll be happy to share it with you.
08:05It would be terrific because I think there are also records that would reflect where else he would have been.
08:09So, thanks.
08:11Did she say that in her book?
08:14This is from her personal diary that her family shared with us.
08:17Yes, but the book came out more recently.
08:20Did she say that in the book?
08:21I can't.
08:23I'm just reading you the entry from her diary that her family shared with me.
08:28I think she ultimately reached a different conclusion, although I had no contact with her.
08:33Okay.
08:33Well, I just want to make sure that it's on the record that that is Virginia and Jufres' statement.
08:40Did you ever fly in a helicopter with Ghislaine Maxwell?
08:48Ever anywhere?
08:50I have no idea.
08:52Okay.
08:53Well, at least one of the survivors claims that you flew in a helicopter with Ghislaine Maxwell to the island.
09:01Did you ever...
09:01Then I did not do that.
09:03I've never been to that island.
