Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton began to testify before members of the House Oversight Committee in a closed session held in New York as part of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in prison while being prosecuted for allegedly running a prostitution ring involving underage girls. Clinton stated that she had no knowledge of the crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified before members of the House Oversight Committee on Thursday as part of the investigation into the criminal activities conducted by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. In a closed-door session at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center in New York, Clinton denied claims that she had any knowledge regarding the allegations.
"I HAVE NO INFORMATION"
In her opening statement to the committee, Clinton responded to the allegations against her, saying, "Let me be as clear as possible; I have no idea or information about the criminal activities of Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell." Clinton reiterated her sworn testimony from January, asserting that she had never met Epstein, had not boarded his plane, and had not visited his properties.
TESTIMONY UNDER POLITICAL DEBATES
Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, agreed to testify in a closed session to avoid being penalized for non-compliance with a court order. This development was seen as an important step for Committee Chairman James Comer.
POINTED AT TRUMP
Clinton characterized the committee's move as "a political strategy rather than a pursuit of justice." Suggesting that the main aim of the investigation was to cover up allegations against former President Donald Trump, Clinton stated, "If the committee is serious, it should directly question Trump, who has been mentioned in the file thousands of times."
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton is also set to testify before the committee tomorrow.
THE JEFFREY EPSTEIN CASE
Epstein, who was charged with sexually abusing dozens of underage girls and running a prostitution ring, was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, New York, on August 10, 2019.
The disclosed Epstein case files included famous names such as former Prince Andrew, U.S. President Donald Trump, former U.S. President Bill Clinton, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, actor Kevin Spacey, singer Michael Jackson, illusionist David Copperfield, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, and former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.
The FBI also stated that, following an investigation conducted with the U.S. Department of Justice, there was no evidence of a "client list" involving the famous individuals, and it was concluded that Epstein, who was alleged to have been murdered to cover up the crimes of individuals including government officials, celebrities, and businesspeople, had actually committed suicide in his cell.
