Former US President Bill Clinton faced a congressional panel investigating his connections to Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender. Clinton was prominent in the Epstein files but maintained that he distanced himself from Epstein well before the latter's 2008 conviction for sex offenses. During his deposition, he asserted, 'I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong,' attempting to clear his name amidst the ongoing scrutiny from lawmakers.

The Republican chair of the House committee, James Comer, indicated that the deposition was productive, claiming that Clinton answered every question posed to him. However, some Republicans, like Nancy Mace, suggested that there were inconsistencies in Clinton's testimony, although no specific examples were provided. Meanwhile, Democrats have seized the opportunity to redirect attention towards Donald Trump, also linked to Epstein, reinforcing their call for further questioning of the former president.

The allegations regarding Epstein's connections have sparked a political back-and-forth, with each party seeking to leverage the situation for their advantage. As investigations continue, both Clinton's and Trump's past associations with Epstein remain a focal point in the media and congressional inquiries, raising questions about accountability and transparency among influential figures.
