Former President Bill Clinton defended himself during intense congressional questioning on Friday, firmly stating he committed no wrongdoing in his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
During hours of testimony before lawmakers, Clinton maintained that he witnessed no indication of Epstein’s criminal sexual conduct and insisted his interactions with the disgraced Wall Street figure were appropriate.
The congressional inquiry focused on Clinton’s connections to Epstein, which date back more than twenty years. Lawmakers pressed the former president for details about the nature and extent of their relationship during the lengthy questioning session.
Clinton’s appearance before Congress represents the latest development in ongoing scrutiny of high-profile individuals who had ties to Epstein before his 2019 death in federal custody while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
