Washington – Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified before the House Oversight Committee on Thursday in New York, stating she had “no idea” about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. The deposition, held in New York, marks a significant moment in the committee's ongoing investigation into Epstein and his associates.

Clinton’s testimony comes as the House Oversight Committee continues to probe the connections between Epstein, a convicted sex offender, and prominent figures. The committee has been seeking information from individuals who may have had contact with Epstein and knowledge of his activities.

The deposition is taking place under oath, and Clinton’s statements are subject to legal scrutiny. Lawmakers questioned Clinton regarding her past interactions with Epstein and any awareness she may have had of his alleged misconduct. The focus of the questioning centered on understanding the nature and extent of her knowledge regarding Epstein’s criminal behavior.

Epstein, who died by suicide in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, had ties to numerous high-profile individuals. The House Oversight Committee's investigation aims to uncover the full scope of these connections and determine if any individuals enabled or facilitated Epstein's crimes. The deposition with Clinton is a key part of that effort.

The committee's inquiry has already led to the release of documents and testimony from other individuals associated with Epstein. Further findings and recommendations from the investigation are expected in the coming months.
