Former President Bill Clinton took issue on Friday with his wife, Hillary, being forced to sit for a deposition as part of the congressional investigation into notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
“She had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Nothing,” Clinton seethed in a video posted on social media hours after he concluded his own testimony for the House Oversight Committee’s Epstein probe.
“So whether ten people or 10,000 people were subpoenaed, including her, was simply not right,” the former president argued.
“I saw nothing and did nothing wrong,” he added.
The former president said he hoped his appearance before the panel “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,” Clinton continued, “and to ensure that this never happens again.”
During a roughly six-hour deposition at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center, a defiant Clinton denied having sex with a mystery woman he was pictured with in a hot tub – one of many racy photos of him included in the millions of files connected to the disgraced billionaire sex offender.
Clinton claimed he didn’t know who the woman was and told lawmakers under oath he did not have sexual relations with her, according to a source familiar with his testimony.
Lawmakers grilled him on the suggestive snaps, his links to the dead sex pest, flights on Epstein’s notorious plane, and chats with President Trump about the financier during the closed-door hearing.
The Democrat insisted his contact with the pervert ended before Epstein was charged with sex crimes, stressing he “never witnessed” any wrongdoing and claiming he would have never flown on his plane if he had known about his criminal activities.
“Even with 20/20 hindsight, I saw nothing that gave me pause,” Clinton said in a statement released ahead of his deposition.
“I had no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing. No matter how many photos you show me.”
Hillary Clinton testified for about six hours on Thursday and blasted Republicans afterward.
She told reporters she didn’t know Epstein and ripped the Oversight panel for performing “partisan political theater.”
