Bill Clinton on his connections with Epstein: I saw nothing and did nothing wrong

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton testified regarding his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, maintaining he was unaware of Epstein's criminal activities and claiming he did nothing wrong.

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton recently provided testimony to a congressional committee investigating the connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In his statement, which was conducted behind closed doors in New York, Clinton asserted his ignorance of Epstein's criminal behavior, despite any evidence presented to him. He emphasized personal integrity, stating, "I know what I saw, and I know what I did. And I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong."

Clinton's brief acquaintance with Epstein was noted to have ended years before Epstein's illegal acts became public knowledge. He expressed deep concern for the victims of Epstein’s actions, acknowleding their long wait for justice and recovery. Clinton underscored that he had never witnessed any wrongdoing during their limited interactions and conveyed the importance of sharing whatever knowledge he had to help prevent future abuses.

During his testimony, Clinton anticipated that he would frequently respond with “I don’t remember” due to the time elapsed since his contact with Epstein, which he recognized might be frustrating for congressional members. His focus remained on the need for accountability for Epstein's victims and emphasizing the truth in his recollections, as he answered questions about their association and his awareness of events surrounding Epstein's criminal activities.
