Bill Clinton denies seeing ‘blue dress’ painting in Epstein files, says it would end his ties

WASHINGTON, DC: Former President Bill Clinton faced questioning during his House Oversight Committee deposition over a painting connected to Jeffrey Epstein. The artwork depicted Clinton in a blue dress and red heels, reportedly displayed in Epstein’s Manhattan residence. Lawmakers said the question visibly changed Clinton’s demeanor.

Congressman Nick Langworthy said the former president “had not seen it until seen it in person. If he had, it would have ended any relationship he had.” Clinton later addressed his visits to Epstein properties more broadly, clarifying the scope of his presence inside the residences.

Clinton clarifies visits to Epstein homes

During a separate line of questioning, Clinton emphasized he had only been on the first floor of one residence. “No artwork and nothing that was distasteful was displayed on the first floor,” he reportedly told lawmakers. The comments offered insight into his limited interactions with Epstein’s properties and the high-profile items within.

The painting itself, which circulated widely online, shows Clinton sitting in the Oval Office wearing a blue dress—a reference often linked to the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Investigators reportedly recovered the piece during their examination of Epstein’s properties.

Lawmakers react to the artwork

Rep Pat Fallon (R-Texas), who attended the depositio.n, commented on the painting’s provocative nature: “I wish I could unsee that thing. Don’t look at it and then try to eat. You’ll get nauseous.” Fallon noted that while the artwork was attention-grabbing, the broader concern was Democrats attempting to tie scrutiny of Epstein-related matters to former President Donald Trump.

Oversight inquiry expands beyond flight logs

The deposition reflects how the Oversight Committee’s investigation has moved beyond flight records and visitor logs into symbolic and personal territory. Clinton has acknowledged past associations with Epstein but maintains he never visited Epstein’s private island and denies awareness of criminal conduct.

Lawmakers suggest the painting episode underscores the complexity of Clinton’s.
