00:00And in particular, I want to focus on three survivors who have shared stories that involve you.
00:06So I want to begin with Maria Farmer. Do you know who Maria Farmer is?
00:10Maria Farmer was employed by Jeffrey Epstein and abused by him for a number of years,
00:15and she first reported her abuse to the New York PD and FBI in 1996. And she states that she
00:25has
00:26personal knowledge that you visited Jeffrey Epstein's house three to four times while you
00:31were the sitting president between 1995 and 1996. And she says she knows this based on photographs
00:38that Colleen Maxwell showed to her as well as discussions with this staff. So let me ask you,
00:44Mr. President, did you visit Jeffrey Epstein's house while you were president?
00:50I do not remember doing that. I do not believe I did.
00:54How do you explain this discrepancy?
00:57Objection calls for him to speculate.
00:59I can't speculate, but all I can tell you is I don't remember being there.
01:06Okay. Moving on to Virginia Roberts-Jufri. Are you familiar with her?
01:11Mm-hmm.
01:13As has already been established, she has stated in numerous sworn statements, including a sworn
01:19deposition in the deposition in the Maxwell trial, that she saw you on the island with Jeffrey Epstein.
01:28And in fact, this morning, her family shared her diary with me. And in it is a quote wherein she
01:37writes, quote, Bill Clinton met two times island with two girls, C, T, G, M, and J, E.
01:45What is your reaction to that? It's not true. Do you have any dates associated
01:51with that? Were there dates on the diary? I don't have that information,
01:55but we'll be happy to share it with you. Terrific, because I think there are also
01:59records that would reflect where else he would have been. So thanks.
02:03Did she say that in her book? This is from her personal diary that her family shared with us.
02:09Yes, but the book came out more recently. Did she say that in the book?
02:14I can't. I'm just reading you the entry from her diary that her family shared with me.
02:20I think she ultimately reached a different conclusion, although I had no contact with her.
02:25Okay. Well, I just want to make sure that it's on the record that that is Virginia and Jufri's
02:31statement. Did you ever fly in a helicopter with Ghislaine Maxwell?
02:40Ever anywhere? I have no idea. Okay. Well, at least one of the survivors claims that you flew
02:50in a helicopter with Ghislaine Maxwell to the island. Did you ever...
02:54Then I did not do that. I've never been to that island. Okay.
02:58Why did your relationship with Mr. Epstein end?
03:05Well, after a year or two, we really picked up a head of steam with this age program. And
03:11a lot of other people whom I knew better and who
03:17really cared about the work came forward and offered to help us provide transportation.
03:24And I thought Mr. Epstein was an interesting man, but he...
03:31I didn't think he was really interested in what I was doing.
03:35But as he asked all these questions, he did ask about economics and politics, as he said he would.
03:45And he never asked me anything untoward. It's just that I didn't think...
03:53I thought I had done what I promised to do. And he had done what he promised to do.
03:59And I thought... I've always, over the years,
04:04with these donors, tried not to overstay my welcome. I thought that we'd done enough,
04:09and then it's time to start working with other people.
04:11I'm here today basically for two reasons. First of all,
04:17I love my country and the Constitution. And I believe America was built on the idea that no one is
04:26above the law.
04:29Especially presidents. And that we should all live by the same set of rules shaped with the Constitution.
04:38Democracy requires every person to play their part, and I hope that by being here today,
04:44we can bring ourselves a little further away from the brink and back to being a country where we can
04:50disagree civilly
04:52and search for the truth and justice. And that that outweighs the partisan urge for spectacle and point scoring.
05:02I will do my part, and I hope you'll do yours.
05:08The second reason I'm here is that the girls and women whose lives Jeffrey Epstein destroyed
05:14deserve not just justice, but healing.
05:18They've been waiting too long for both.
05:21Through my brief acquaintance with Jeffrey Epstein,
05:25though it ended years before his crimes came to light,
05:29and though I never witnessed during our limited interactions any indication of what was going on.
05:38I'm here to offer what little I know
05:43so I can do my part to prevent something like this from happening again.
05:50I have to say one personal thing.
05:54Since Hillary came in yesterday,
05:57she had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein.
06:01Nothing.
06:02There's a picture of us both shaking hands with him
06:06in a photo line in 1993
06:09at a fundraiser for the White House Historical Association.
06:13I don't know how it is under President Trump, but
06:17when I was there, it was about the most non-political operation you can imagine.
06:22There were people who loved the White House, who were interested in it,
06:25would give a little money every year to do things that needed doing around the House.
06:31And nothing nearly as extravagant as the ballroom or any of that,
06:35just things that had to be done.
06:41And neither she nor I remembered shaking his hand all those years ago.
06:49So I don't think that was right.
06:51On the other hand, I do think you should be talking to me.
06:54I think you should have called me.
06:56I did take those plane trips with him.
06:59And you have a right to ask those questions.
07:03So I'm glad to be here and
07:08I understand what the oath is.
07:11I have to be honest with you.
07:14You know, I'll be 80 years old if I loved my next birthday.
07:18I don't remember everything that happened 24 years ago, but I do remember some things.
07:23And I will tell you what I remember as best I can.
07:27And we, each of us, owe the victims nothing less than the truth and accuracy.
07:35We owe that to the American people.
07:38And I actually hope that you will be able to come up with some suggestions
07:46that will reduce human trafficking and especially focus on underage girls.
07:52I hope you'll be able to do that.
07:54I know that Hillary talked a little yesterday about
08:02what the State Department does and what she pushed on human trafficking and girls.
08:11When she was Secretary of State, we had to deal with it.
08:16And in my foundation, I saw it in Nigeria when Boko Haram was rampaging through the north of Nigeria.
08:32And we were working there trying to stop deaths from diarrhea for young children.
08:40And it was interesting.
08:43These guys were cold and calculated.
08:45They said, oh, you don't have to leave because the kids you're helping are younger than the ones we want.
08:51They have to be about nine before they're worth anything to us.
08:57So this is really important.
09:00And I will do what I can to make whatever contribution I can.
