The House Oversight Committee released the full depositions of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton centered on the committee’s investigation into the Epstein files on Monday.
The release of their testimonies come after the pair separately testified before the committee in closed-door meetings last week. The footage shared showed that the couple faced more than four hours of questioning each.
Hillary maintained that she had never even met Epstein throughout the deposition.
In her opening statement, Hillary accused the committee of using her and her husband as a distraction from President Donald Trump, who is heavily mentioned in the government documents.
"[Y]ou have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump's actions and cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers," she wrote in the statement.
"If this committee is serious about learning the truth about Epstein's trafficking crimes, it would not rely on press gaggles to get answers from our current president on his involvement; it would ask him directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein files," she continued.
Meanwhile, Bill, who is mentioned in flight logs and included in photos with Epstein and on his island, maintained he never engaged in illicit activity.
The lawmakers showed Bill several photos of him with women, whose faces have been redacted. The lawmakers showed Bill a picture with him in a hot tub with a woman, and asked if he had sex with her. He denied knowing who the woman was or having sex with her.
