Bill Clinton has denied wrongdoing and expressed regret for his association with the late paedophile. Our North America correspondent Simi Jola-Osho told me more about what we can expect from Mr. Clinton's testimony in front of the committee. As you've touched on there, Keith, there's more about former president Bill Clinton in the Epstein case files than on his wife Hillary Clinton, including his name appearing in multiple flight manifests for Epstein's private jet in the early 2000s,
Fotos of him with Jeffrey Epstein and with Ghislaine Maxwell, like the one of him taking a night swim alongside Miss Maxwell. He has denied knowledge of Epstein's sex offending and says that he cut off contact two decades ago. But committee members will have many questions. What was happening when those photos were taken? What did he or his security ever see or hear when he was on Epstein's plane?
After her deposition, Hillary Clinton was asked whether she was confident about Bill Clinton being questioned, and she said she is. She said that Jeffrey Epstein's predatory behavior could have been stopped if he didn't get what she called a sweetheart deal in 2008, and that she believes her husband would testify that he didn't know of Epstein's crimes.
that other prominent figures should also cooperate and testify about their knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein. Lawmakers could say Democrats have testified, now Republicans should too. But after Hillary Clinton's deposition today, House Oversight Committee members were asked whether President Donald Trump would be called to testify, seeing as he's also mentioned in the Epstein files,
The Republican Committee chair James Comer said that President Trump has already answered questions from the press regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and that President Trump has already been transparent by releasing some of the Epstein case documents. Committee member Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna also claimed that the committee had spoken to survivors of Epstein's abuse and she claimed that they exonerated the president.
