📖 Full Retelling
The House Oversight Committee released video recordings on March 2, 2026, of depositions with former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Chappaqua, New York, as part of its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a prison sentence for sex trafficking charges. Chairman Rep. James Comer of Kentucky described the release as capping a lengthy effort to secure testimony from the couple about their knowledge of Epstein's activities. Hillary Clinton testified on Thursday, while Bill Clinton appeared the following day, with their respective video testimonies running 4 hours and 33 minutes, and 4 hours and 35 minutes long. In their opening statements, both Clintons denied any personal involvement with Epstein's crimes, with Hillary stating she 'had no idea about their criminal activities' and claiming she never encountered Epstein or his properties. Bill Clinton acknowledged taking trips on Epstein's plane but maintained he 'saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong,' adding that he didn't remember why he wrote a birthday letter for Epstein's 50th birthday, though it was likely at staff request. During questioning, Bill Clinton mentioned a photo of himself and his wife shaking hands with Epstein at a 1993 White House event, noting that neither remembered the encounter, while criticizing the committee for bringing his wife into the questioning despite acknowledging their right to ask about his plane trips with Epstein.
