Former President Bill Clinton faced questions from the House Oversight Committee this week about his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The 79-year-old denied any sexual involvement with an unidentified woman shone with him in a hot tub photo from Epstein's files. He also said he did not know her identity. This marks the first time Congress has forced a former president to testify against his will. Hell that a performing arts center near his New York home. Clinton explained his flights on Epstein's jet in 2002 and 2003 were purely for Clinton Foundation charity work. Accommodating his staff and secret service. He insisted he never visited Epstein's private island and cut ties long before the financier's crimes surfaced publicly. Epstein visited the White House 17 times during Clinton's presidency and photos show them together at events.

1:01Lawmakers pressed him on images with Epstein associate Glein Maxwell and other women, but Clinton maintained he saw no wrongdoing and did nothing. Am proper. He opened by defending his wife Hillary's recent testimony, calling it unfair since she had no Epstein connections. Republicans highlighted Clinton clearing Donald Trump of involvement while Democrats disputed that and demanded Trump testify too. Trump commented outside the White House that he likes Clinton and dislikes the deposition, noting he faced similar scrutiny before. Protesters gathered outside and figures like representative Lauren Boebert attended amidst snowy weather. The private session, recorded on video, awaits review by Clinton's lawyers before public release. As this Epstein probe continues, both parties push their angles, keeping the focus on accountability for all involved.
