WASHINGTON, DC: A video released on Monday, March 2, shows former President Bill Clinton pushing back against efforts by some Democrats to link President Donald Trump to convicted offender Jeffrey Epstein during his deposition before the House Oversight Committee.
The private testimony, part of the committee’s ongoing probe into matters related to Epstein, also featured former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Lawmakers sought the depositions after the Department of Justice released files and photographs showing that Bill Clinton was in contact with Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Neither Bill nor Hillary has been charged with any wrongdoing.
Bill Clinton says Trump did nothing wrong
During the deposition, Bill Clinton interrupted the questioning to clarify that Donald Trump had never said anything to him suggesting improper conduct related to Jeffrey Epstein.
“I hate this because I don’t believe I should inject anything, but I do not want to leave the impression since there was no follow-up question,” Clinton said, referring to Democrats. “The president, 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.” He continued, “That’s the truth, 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. I want everybody to get it all out there and let everybody see where we are.”
Clinton emphasized that he was being truthful and called for all relevant materials to be made public.
DOJ files reveal Clinton-Epstein photos
The Clintons agreed to sit for depositions before the House Oversight Committee on February 28 on the condition that the testimony be released publicly.
Lawmakers requested their testimony after the Department of Justice released documents and images in December 2025 showing Bill Clinton in social settings with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. One photograph showed Clinton sitting in a hot tub with Epstein and a young woman whose face was redacted by officials.
During his testimony, Clinton said he did not know the woman and denied having any kind of relations with her. Additional images showed him socializing with Maxwell and posing with Epstein at what appeared to be a dinner gathering.
Documents made public on February 1 indicated that Maxwell helped financially support the Clinton Global Initiative, according to the New York Times.
Clinton spokesperson urges full Epstein file release
Clinton spokesperson Angel Urena said the former president has “nothing to hide” and urged the full release of all files. Ahead of his deposition, Bill Clinton issued a statement asserting that he never witnessed misconduct by Jeffrey Epstein and had no knowledge of his crimes. He also criticized the committee for summoning Hillary Clinton, maintaining that she never met Epstein and had no involvement with him.
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. pic.twitter.com/0rX8cat5Pu
