Former President Bill Clinton told members of the House Oversight Committee last week that he does not recall President Donald Trump ever saying anything that would link him to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, as reported by Fox News.

Clinton testified as part of the committee’s ongoing probe into Epstein’s social connections and the circumstances surrounding his criminal conduct.

During the deposition, Democrats questioned Clinton about his own relationship with Trump and references to both men in materials connected to Epstein.

At one point, Clinton paused to clarify his position.

“I hate this because I don’t think I should inject anything, but I do not want to leave the impression… He, the president, never — this is 20-something years ago — never said anything to me to make me think he was involved with anything improper with regard to Epstein,” Clinton told investigators.

Later in the deposition, Clinton again addressed the subject of Trump’s relationship with Epstein.

“As I said earlier, the only conversation I had with President Trump about this was in the early 2000s, and I have no information that he did anything wrong,” Clinton said.

The House Oversight Committee questioned Clinton as part of its broader investigation into Epstein and whether the former financier used his network of high-profile contacts to facilitate illegal sexual encounters.

Epstein, who had a wide social circle that included Clinton, Trump, Bill Gates, and the United Kingdom’s Prince Andrew, died in 2019 while incarcerated on charges of sex trafficking minors.

Lawmakers are examining whether Epstein leveraged those social connections in furtherance of his crimes. Democrats on the committee have reviewed materials related to the case with particular attention to any possible links to Trump.

Clinton was asked multiple times about Trump during his testimony and maintained that he had limited knowledge of Trump’s relationship with Epstein. He also expressed support for the public release of information connected to the case.

“I just want it all out there. I want everybody to get it all out there and let everybody see where we are,” Clinton said.

Materials released by the Department of Justice include photographs of Clinton. One image places him in a pool with Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of Epstein, and another individual whose identity has been redacted.

When asked again about communications with President Trump regarding Epstein, Clinton said he had not spoken with Trump about the matter since the “early 2000s.”

“It’s the truth,” Clinton added.

The Oversight Committee’s inquiry remains ongoing as lawmakers continue to review documents and testimony related to Epstein’s associations and activities.
