Before sitting down with the House Oversight Committee and testifying about it Jeffrey Epsteinformer President Bill Clinton he talks about his intentions.
“I’m here today for two reasons. The first is that I love my country. And America was built on the idea that no one is above the law, not even the President – especially the President,” Clinton, 79, wrote in a statement she shared. with X on Friday, February 27. “Democracy requires everyone to play their part, and I hope that by being here today, we can bring ourselves a little further from the brink and return to being a country where we can legally disagree — where the pursuit of truth and justice outweighs the group’s desire to score points and create a spectacle. I will do my part, and I hope I hope.”
Although Clinton’s release was closed to the media, the 42nd president of the United States wanted to share why he agreed to participate in the investigation.
“The girls and women whose lives were destroyed by Jeffrey Epstein deserve not only justice, but also treatment. They have both been waiting for it,” he said. “Although my brief acquaintance with Epstein ended many years before his crimes came to light, and although I never saw during our limited contact any indication of what was really going on, I am here to give what little I know to prevent anything like this from ever happening again.
Epstein was arrested in July 2019 on sex trafficking and child trafficking conspiracy charges. He denied the charges.
Before the 2019 trial, Epstein died in a New York City jail at the age of 66.
In recent months, the Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice has released The Epstein Files required by law. Although Clinton has acknowledged that she may appear in the files, she has denied any wrongdoing.
“First of all, I didn’t know about the crimes that Epstein was committing,” he said. “No matter how many pictures you show me, I have two things more important at the end of the day than you explaining those 20-year-old pictures: I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn’t see. I know what I did, and more importantly, what I didn’t do. I didn’t see anything, and I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Although the public will not be able to view Clinton’s testimony, the politician warned the public that the committee may hear her say “I don’t remember.”
“That may not be satisfactory, but I won’t say something I’m not sure about,” he said. “As I swear, I will not lie that I eagerly await your questions, but I am ready to answer them to the best of my ability, according to the facts I know.”
Just one day before his testimony, Bill’s wife, Hillary Clintontestified before the committee. In his testimony, the former Secretary of State said he had never been involved with Epstein.
