news when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Amy Morris. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today told House lawmakers she had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes and does not recall ever meeting him. Chairman James Comer of the House Oversight Committee says they still have more questions for the Clintons.
The purpose of the whole investigation is to try to understand Epstein. How did he accumulate so much wealth? How was he able to surround himself with some of the most powerful men in the world?
Now, this is the first of two days of closed-door depositions in Chappaqua, New York, that will also include former President Bill Clinton. Hillary Clinton maintains their knowledge of Epstein is, quote, very limited. Bill Clinton is scheduled to appear before lawmakers tomorrow. So now Democrats are demanding President Trump also testify to congressional investigators about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Representative Robert Garcia is the panel's top-ranking Democrat.
From day one, we have said that we want to talk to anyone. Any person has information about Jeffrey Epstein, about his crimes, about how he was able to get so much wealth. So we're happy to be here and we're glad that both Secretary Clinton and former President Clinton are willing to talk to this committee.
Garcia says the House committee's subpoena to a former president sets a precedent. Iran and the United States are holding another round of indirect talks in Geneva. Iran says talks with the U.S. progressed, quote, very intensely and very seriously in Switzerland.

And we're learning more about the shootout between a boat from Florida and Cuban soldiers. The speedboat carrying 10 people approached Cuba's north shore and opened fire on Cuban soldiers who returned fire, killing four people and wounding six others. The Cuban government accused the people in the boat of trying to infiltrate the country to unleash terrorism.
and said they were Cubans living in the U.S. The U.S. government is gathering information about the incident, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying it was not a U.S. government operation.
