Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told members of the US Congress that she had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s or Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes, starting off two days of depositions that will also include former US President Bill Clinton.
“I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr Epstein,” Hillary Clinton said on Thursday (local time) in an opening statement she shared on social media. The closed-door deposition concluded after over six hours of questioning Thursday.
The depositions in the Clintons’ hometown of Chappaqua, a typically quiet hamlet north of New York City, come after months of tense back-and-forth between the former high-powered Democratic couple and the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee as it investigates Epstein, who killed himself in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial. It will be the first time that a former president has been forced to testify before Congress.
