Former US president Bill Clinton distanced himself from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in closed-door depositions with politicians, according to videos released by House Oversight Committee, while wife Hillary Clinton stormed out over a leaked photo from the private testimony.The recordings of the depositions, which spanned hours over two days last week, show how Mr Clinton told the committee he had ended his relationship with Epstein years before the financier entered a 2008 guilty plea to soliciting prostitution from an underage girl.His wife, former first lady and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, told the committee she never even recalled meeting Epstein.

00:11Not that I recall.

00:18No.
00:21Did you ever have any sexual contact with young women or girls in the presence of Epstein or Maxwell?
00:30No.
00:32There's nothing that I saw when I was around him that made me realize he was trafficking women.
00:40We were friendly, but I didn't know him well enough to be saying we were friends.
00:45Here are photos that are being released of the secretary as she is testifying from inside this room.
00:52Can you please advise me as to whether or not that's permissible and consistent with the rules,
00:56particularly given that we have asked for a public hearing.
01:00If there are photos that are being released of the secretary as she is testifying,
01:04can you please explain how that can occur?
01:05I'm done with this.
01:06If you guys are doing that, I am done.
01:07You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home.
01:10This is just typical behavior.
01:12We will go off the record.
01:13Oh, for heaven's sake.
01:15So I would like to understand how that's permissible.
01:18It was before the hearing was.
01:19It doesn't matter.
01:20We all are abiding by the same rules.
01:23I will take that down.
01:24Yeah, well, I would like to take a break at this moment.
01:27I'd like to have a conversation for now.
01:29Go off the record.
