"Bill Clinton has also not been accused of any wrongdoing. Yet lawmakers are grappling with what accountability in the United States looks like at a time when men around the world have been toppled from their high-powered posts for maintaining their connections with Epstein after he pleaded guilty in 2008 to state charges in Florida for soliciting prostitution from an underage girl."
"Hillary Clinton told lawmakers that she had no knowledge of how Epstein had sexually abused underage girls and had no recollection of even meeting him. But Bill Clinton will have to answer questions on a well-documented relationship with Epstein and his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, even if it was from the late 1990s and early 2000s."
"The Clintons haven't answered very many, if any, questions about their knowledge or involvement with Epstein and Maxwell. No one's accusing, at this moment, the Clintons of any wrongdoing."
Bill Clinton is providing a closed-door deposition before Congressional members investigating Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. This follows Hillary Clinton's deposition the previous day. Neither Clinton has been accused of wrongdoing, though lawmakers are examining accountability regarding connections to Epstein after his 2008 guilty plea for soliciting prostitution from an underage girl. Hillary Clinton stated she had no knowledge of Epstein's abuse and no recollection of meeting him. Bill Clinton must address his well-documented relationship with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Hillary Clinton expects her husband to testify he had no knowledge of Epstein's sexual abuse during their acquaintance. Republicans have sought to question Clinton about Epstein for years.
