Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is testifying behind closed doors before a congressional committee investigating the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
Former president Bill Clinton is scheduled to answer questions Friday day from the Republican-led House Oversight Committee about his relations with Epstein, who died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial. His death has been ruled a suicide.
In her opening remarks, Clinton insisted that she had "no knowledge that would assist" in the investigation, and also insisted that she had no recollection of ever even meeting Jeffery Epstein.
In her remarks, she said, "I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein. I never flew on his plane or visited his island homes or offices. I have nothing to add to that."
This is despite numerous indications throughout the Epstein files released by the DOJ that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, knew Epstein, possibly very well.
The Clintons rejected subpoenas at first ordering them to testify in the panel's probe, and only agreed to talk after House Republicans threatened to hold them in contempt of Congress.
