Clinton: I wouldn't have flown on Jeffrey Epstein's plane if I had known about his actions
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton claims he had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes and testified in Congress regarding the matter.
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton testified before Congress today regarding his past associations with Jeffrey Epstein, emphatically stating that he had no knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities. Clinton mentioned that he would never have boarded Epstein's plane had he been aware of the allegations against him. He further asserted that he did not commit any wrongdoing throughout their association, claiming he neither saw nor engaged in any inappropriate behavior.
During his testimony, Clinton faced scrutiny arising from the release of Department of Justice documents that included photographs of him with Epstein, including on Epstein's private plane alongside an unknown woman. Despite this, Clinton reiterated that his acquaintance with Epstein was brief and concluded years before Epstein's illegal actions were brought to light. With at least 16 recorded flights on Epstein's jet post-presidency, the implications of Clinton's testimony could influence public opinion and the ongoing investigations surrounding Epstein's network.
Additionally, Clinton shared his remarks on the social media platform X, indicating that his intent was to clarify his position and distance himself from Epstein's notorious history. The focus now shifts to how this testimony will affect ongoing narratives about high-profile associations within Epstein's circle, as Clinton remains free of any charges, a fact he was keen to highlight during his opening remarks.
