Hillary Clinton Speaks After Six Hour Long Deposition On Epstein
2 weeks ago
"I don't know how many times I had to say I did know not know Jeffrey Epstein."
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton denied any personal connection to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and said she had no information to share about his criminal activities, after emerging from a highly anticipated deposition with lawmakers on Thursday.
"I answered every one of their questions as fully as I could, based on what I knew. And what I knew is what I said in my statement this morning. I never met Jeffrey Epstein, never had any connection or communication with him. I knew Ghislaine Maxwell casually as an acquaintance.
But whatever they asked me, I did my very best to respond."
Clinton's testimony lasted seven hours and was behind closed doors before the Republican-led House Oversight Committee.
The committee's Republican chairman James Comer called the deposition "productive."
"I think we learned a lot. There were a lot of questions that we asked that we weren't satisfied with the answers that we got, but we will continue to move forward."
Clinton had a different view of Thursday's questioning, accusing the panel of trying to shift focus away from President Donald Trump's ties to Epstein.
"They asked literally the same questions over and over again, which didn't seem to me to be very productive.
"It then got at the end quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate, one of the most vile, bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the Internet. That was serving as the basis of a member's questions to me."
