Former President Bill Clinton denied any wrongdoing in his interactions with Jeffrey Epstein as he sat for a deposition with House lawmakers Friday, saying he had no idea of the crimes the now-dead sex offender was committing, according to prepared remarks.
The former Democratic president, during a deposition in New York, testified that he saw nothing that gave him pause and that he had long stopped associating with Epstein by the time Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges in 2008, a much-criticized deal that later allowed him out of custody.
Clinton is among a series of high-profile men, including President Donald Trump, who appeared in photos with Epstein and are known to have had ties with him. Clinton was also among the figures seen in images released by the Justice Department, as mandated under a bipartisan Epstein files transparency law.
