• Bill Clinton testified before Congress, denying any wrongdoing related to Jeffrey Epstein.
• He emphasized he “saw nothing” that indicated Epstein’s criminal activities during their association.
• The testimony followed Hillary Clinton’s appearance before the same committee.
• The House Oversight Committee aims to investigate connections between several high-profile individuals and Epstein.
• Calls for President Trump to testify have intensified following Clinton's deposition.

Former President Bill Clinton denied any wrongdoing during his congressional deposition regarding his past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. He asserted, "I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong," further stating that had he known of Epstein's alleged sex trafficking, he would have reported it and cut off communication long before Epstein's 2008 conviction, according to South China Morning Post and India Times.

Clinton's testimony occurred on February 27, following a lengthy session with the House Oversight Committee, where questions highlighted photos and documentation of his previous interactions with Epstein. He indicated that the evidence presented did not prove any misconduct, reinforcing that "I had long stopped associating with him" by the time Epstein's criminal actions became public knowledge, according to Le Monde and Al Jazeera.

Democratic lawmakers have accused the Republicans of using the inquiry to shift focus away from President Trump's connections to Epstein. Calls have been made for Trump to testify, echoing sentiments that "no person is above the law," which Clinton indirectly supported by stating that accountability must apply to all public figures, as reported by BBC and NPR.

In a dramatic turn, both Clintons had initially resisted subpoenas to testify, labeling the process as politically motivated. However, they ultimately agreed due to threats of contempt charges, leading to both testimonies being conducted in their local area of Chappaqua, New York. "We are only here because he hid it from everyone so well for so long," Clinton remarked, underscoring the clandestine nature of Epstein's activities that caught many high-profile individuals unaware, according to Le Monde and South China Morning Post.

While Clinton faced questions about incendiary pictures and had to address his social interactions with Epstein, he maintained that accusations of selective memory were unfounded, as he stood firm on his lack of awareness of any illegal activities. "I would have turned him in myself" if he had suspected wrongdoing, he asserted, reflecting a sense of indignation over the continuing scrutiny, as noted by NPR and BBC.
