Bill Clinton to face congressional questions over Epstein ties  US politics live
"Being mentioned in the files released by the US Department of Justice does not imply wrongdoing, and Clinton has not been accused of a crime or formally investigated. He follows his wife, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, who testified on Thursday, calling for Donald Trump who like Bill Clinton had ties with Epstein to appear before the panel."
"If this committee is serious about learning the truth about Epstein's trafficking crimes... it would ask [Trump] directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein files, she said in an opening statement published online."
"Hillary Clinton said that, after she repeatedly told House Republicans she did not know Jeffrey Epstein, their questions got quite unusual, because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate, one of the most vile, bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the internet."
Bill Clinton is scheduled to testify before a Congressional panel regarding his well-documented links to Jeffrey Epstein. Clinton maintains he severed ties with Epstein before the billionaire's 2008 conviction for sex offenses. Being mentioned in recently disclosed Epstein files does not indicate wrongdoing, and Clinton has not been accused of crimes or formally investigated. Hillary Clinton testified the previous day, calling for Trump to appear before the panel given his own Epstein connections. The depositions occur behind closed doors despite the Clintons' requests for open, televised proceedings. Hillary Clinton criticized House Republicans for asking unusual questions about UFOs and conspiracy theories rather than focusing on substantive Epstein-related matters.
