READ: Bill Clinton Releases Opening Statement Ahead of Epstein Testimony
"The first is that I love my country. And America was built upon the idea that no person is above the law, even presidents—especially Presidents. The second reason I'm here is that the girls and women whose lives Jeffrey Epstein destroyed deserve not only justice, but healing. They've been waiting too long for both."
"Though my brief acquaintance with Epstein ended years before his crimes came to light, and though I never witnessed during our limited interactions any indication of what was truly going on, I am here to offer what little I know so that it might prevent anything like this from ever happening again."
"As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing—I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals."
Former President Bill Clinton appeared before the House Oversight Committee for a deposition regarding his relationship with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. In his opening statement, Clinton emphasized his commitment to the principle that no person is above the law and expressed support for justice and healing for Epstein's victims. Clinton stated his acquaintance with Epstein ended years before his crimes emerged and that he never witnessed any indication of wrongdoing during their limited interactions. He asserted he would have reported Epstein himself had he known of any criminal activity, citing his personal background with domestic abuse. Clinton maintained he saw nothing improper and did nothing wrong. His wife, Hillary Clinton, previously testified before the same committee.
