Former U.S. President Bill Clinton testified under oath before the House Oversight Committee about his past ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Clinton denied any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal abuse, repeatedly stating he “saw nothing and did nothing wrong,” and insisted he would have reported Epstein if he had known. His testimony, part of a closed-door deposition released by the committee, comes after his wife Hillary Clinton also testified that she had no memory of Epstein or his crimes. Despite photos and flight logs placing Clinton near Epstein in the early 2000s, neither he nor Hillary has been accused of wrongdoing. Their appearances mark a rare moment in the ongoing investigation into Epstein’s network.

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.
