Clinton Denies Knowledge of Epstein Crimes
Bill Clinton told lawmakers he “saw nothing” and “did nothing wrong” regarding his past link with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a closed-door congressional deposition in New York.
The former president said he had no knowledge of Epstein’s sex-trafficking crimes, insisting that had he known, he would have “cut off ties immediately” and even reported him to authorities.

Conclusion
The deposition of Bill Clinton marks a huge moment in congressional oversight history.
While his name appears repeatedly in the Epstein files, there remains no direct allegation of criminal wrongdoing against him from victims or federal prosecutors.
As transcripts and video recordings are released, public scrutiny will intensify.
For now, Clinton maintains that his association with Epstein was limited, regrettable, and uninformed regarding the financier’s crimes.
The broader political ramifications — especially regarding renewed calls for Trump’s testimony — may continue unfolding in the coming weeks.
