Clinton Deposed in Epstein Probe Following Hillary’s Testimony

Clinton is deposed by the House Oversight Committee over Epstein ties, a day after Hillary testified.

Former President Bill Clinton has asserted that he “saw nothing that gave me pause” regarding his interactions with Jeffrey Epstein, as he completed a deposition before the House Oversight Committee concerning his relationship with the convicted sex offender. The deposition took place on February 27, 2026, near the Clintons’ home in Westchester County, New York.

In a prepared statement, Clinton stated he had “no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing” and that he would not have flown on Epstein’s plane or associated with him had he been aware of the alleged crimes. He further stated he would have reported Epstein to authorities.

Clinton’s testimony follows that of his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who testified before the same committee on February 26, 2026. The committee is investigating how Epstein amassed his wealth and cultivated a network of powerful associates.

According to reports, Clinton was questioned about photos released by the Department of Justice showing him with women whose identities are redacted. He reportedly stated he did not recognize who the woman in a hot tub photo was and denied any sexual contact with her. He also affirmed under oath that he had never visited Epstein’s private island.

Background: The Epstein Case and the House Inquiry

Jeffrey Epstein was a financier who was arrested in July 2019 and charged with sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York. He died by suicide in a Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial. The case has drawn intense scrutiny due to Epstein’s connections to numerous high-profile individuals, including politicians, business leaders, and celebrities.

The House Oversight Committee, led by Chairman James Comer, launched an investigation into Epstein’s crimes and his network of associates in 2025. The committee has issued subpoenas to several individuals, including the Clintons, former Attorneys General, and former FBI Directors, seeking testimony and records related to the case. The subpoenas were approved following a subcommittee vote, with bipartisan support for obtaining records from the Department of Justice.

What Happens Next?

The House Oversight Committee is expected to review the transcripts of the depositions from Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as other witnesses. The committee may also issue additional subpoenas or requests for information. It remains unclear when the committee will release its findings or whether it will pursue any legislative or legal action based on its investigation. The committee is also considering requests from Democrats to subpoena other individuals, including former President Donald Trump.
