Clinton Beneath Oath: Trump ‘Never Said Anything’ Suggesting Epstein Misconduct
On Monday, fallout continued from a closed-door deposition that is already reshaping the political conversation around Jeffrey Epstein.
Former President Bill Clinton, testifying under oath before the House Oversight Committee on Friday, made a statement that quickly reverberated across Washington: President Donald Trump never gave him any reason to believe he was involved in wrongdoing related to Epstein.
The testimony came during a high-stakes session led by James Comer (R-KY), the committee’s chairman, at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center in New York, near the Clintons’ longtime home.
“I hate this because I don’t believe I should inject anything,” Clinton said during the deposition. “But I do not want to leave the impression, since there was no follow-up question, he never, the president [Donald Trump] never… this is 20-something years ago, never said anything to me to make me think he was involved in anything improper with regard to Epstein either. He just didn’t. That’s the truth.”
Clinton continued, “As I said earlier, the only conversation I have with President Trump about this was in the early 2000s. And I have no information that he did anything wrong. I just want it all out there.”
He added: “I want everybody to get it all out there and let everybody see where we are.”

The remarks, delivered under oath, immediately drew attention given years of speculation and political accusations surrounding Epstein’s network of powerful associates.
Chairman Comer told reporters afterward Friday, “The president [Bill Clinton] went on to say that President Trump has never said anything to me to make me think he was involved and he meant with Epstein.”
Comer described the comment as noteworthy amid ongoing public curiosity about Trump’s past interactions with Epstein.
Friday’s deposition followed months of negotiations between committee lawyers and Clinton’s legal team. Republicans had previously signaled that contempt proceedings were possible if Clinton declined to appear, but he ultimately agreed to testify.
The former president’s appearance came just one day after former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also sat for a lengthy closed-door interview with lawmakers.

Republicans have claimed that neither Bill nor Hillary Clinton is currently accused of wrongdoing. Instead, they say the investigation aims to clarify who knew what about Epstein’s activities and whether institutional failures allowed his crimes to continue unchecked.
Epstein died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. His death, officially ruled a suicide, fueled widespread skepticism and demands for greater transparency about his connections to political, business, and cultural elites.
Both Clinton and Trump have faced years of scrutiny due to documented past social interactions with Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s. Clinton has acknowledged multiple trips on Epstein’s private jet but has repeatedly denied any knowledge of criminal conduct. Trump has said he severed ties with Epstein long before the financier’s 2008 conviction and has consistently denied wrongdoing.
Clinton’s sworn statement is now likely to intensify debate over the scope of the Oversight Committee’s probe. Democrats have sought to widen the lens of scrutiny, while Republicans have focused on sworn testimony from individuals with confirmed associations.
For now, one fact stands out: under oath, a former Democratic president stated he has no information suggesting that the current president engaged in wrongdoing connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
