Former U.S. President Bill Clinton testified before lawmakers in a closed-door session on his connections to Jeffrey Epstein, stating emphatically, 'I did nothing wrong.' Clinton's testimony is significant as it marks the first instance where a former president has been required to testify before Congress. He provided this statement on social media, asserting he had no knowledge of Epstein's illicit activities despite their interactions from more than two decades ago.

The deposition occurred shortly after Hillary Clinton, Bill's wife and former Secretary of State, also faced questions from Congress about her own connections to Epstein. Hillary claimed she had no recollection of meeting Epstein and was unaware of his criminal conduct. The timing of these depositions highlights a growing scrutiny of high-profile figures connected to Epstein, especially given the controversy surrounding his associations with powerful individuals in politics and entertainment.

Lawmakers are tasked with exploring accountability related to Epstein's abusive actions, as both Clintons have maintained their innocence without being directly accused of any wrongdoing. Their testimonies have initiated discussions about the broader implications of accountability in the United States, especially concerning elite figures who may have overlooked or ignored abusive patterns in their social circles.
