House Oversight Committee releases videos of Clinton depositions on Jeffrey Epstein



The House Oversight Committee on Monday released videos of its interviews last week with former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as part of its probe into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

NBC News is reviewing the videos, which are about four-and-a-half hours each. The footage was posted days after the Clintons sat for interviews with the Republican-led committee to answer questions about Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.

Hillary Clinton answered questions under oath from the committee on Thursday and Bill Clinton answered questions on Friday.

Bill Clinton has acknowledged flying on Epstein’s plane for Clinton Foundation travel in the early 2000s, before Epstein was hit with criminal charges and has denied knowledge of Epstein’s crimes at the time. Hillary Clinton has said she doesn’t remember ever meeting him but acknowledged Maxwell, who’s serving 20 years in prison for sex trafficking, was an “acquaintance.” Neither Clinton has been charged with any wrongdoing.

In a post on X after his hours of testimony, Bill Clinton said, “Though my brief acquaintance with Epstein ended years before his crimes came to light, and though I never witnessed during our limited interactions, any indication with what was truly going on, I offered the little I do know, in the hopes that it would help prevent anything like this from ever happening again.”

“When the video of my testimony today is released, I hope it will motivate everyone to go in front of Congress to say what they know. I hope it will motivate the Justice Department to finally release all the files and to ensure that this never happens again,” he said.

Transcripts of the interviews — which must be reviewed by multiple parties, including the Clintons — will be released at a later time.
