Hillary Clinton Testifies on Epstein Ties, Asserts Compliance with Oversight Committee

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton concluded her closed-door deposition before the Republican-led House Oversight Committee on Thursday, reiterating her assertion that she has no new information regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activities and has fully cooperated with the investigation. The testimony, conducted at the Clintons’ residence in Chappaqua, New York, follows months of legal and political maneuvering, including threats of contempt-of-Congress proceedings over the couple’s initial refusal to comply with a subpoena.

Clinton stated in a sworn declaration that she had “no idea” about Epstein’s or Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes and does not recall meeting Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. She also denied using Epstein’s plane or visiting his properties, though her husband, former President Bill Clinton, has acknowledged traveling on Epstein’s aircraft for Clinton Foundation-related trips in 2002–2003. Bill Clinton, who will testify Friday, has stated he “cut off ties” with Epstein two decades ago and has no recollection of his last interactions with Maxwell, Epstein’s co-conspirator.

The committee, led by Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), has emphasized a bipartisan effort to hold all individuals accountable, including scrutinizing Epstein’s financial networks and connections to high-profile figures. Clinton, however, accused the panel of partisan motives, arguing it has avoided pressing Trump associates in the Epstein files while focusing on her family.

Financial transparency remains a focal point, as the Justice Department’s 2025 Epstein Files Transparency Act has gradually released documents revealing Epstein’s ties to politicians, business leaders, and celebrities. While no criminal charges have been filed against the Clintons, the case underscores heightened scrutiny of private financial relationships involving public figures.

The Oversight Committee plans to release edited transcripts of the depositions, with both parties likely to continue debating the scope and impartiality of the inquiry. For now, the Clintons maintain they have fulfilled their obligations, while the committee insists its work is far from complete.
