Clinton Deposition Sheds Light on Epstein Ties and Donor Questions

More than nine hours of closed-door deposition footage released by the House Oversight Committee show Bill and Hillary Clinton distancing themselves from Jeffrey Epstein, explaining how they first connected to him via Larry Summers in the early 2000s and saying their relationship largely ended by 2003. They deny knowledge of Epstein’s sex crimes and any direct involvement with Epstein’s donations or Maxwell’s activities, with Hillary saying she does not recall Epstein’s contributions to campaigns or the CGI, and Bill noting he traveled on Epstein’s plane without witnessing illegal conduct. The sessions also touch on Trump’s recollection of a past ‘falling out’ with Epstein and a tense exchange over fundraising ties with Howard Lutnick. The disclosures provide a rare look at how powerful figures navigated Epstein connections, while the Clintons maintain they did nothing wrong.
