March 2 (UPI) — A U.S. House committee on Monday released video footage of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testifying as part of an investigation into the deceased sex predator Jeffrey Epstein.
The Clintons sat for interviews with the House Oversight Committee last week to answer questions about Epstein and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the relationships that either Clinton may have had with them, CNN and NBC News reported.
The footage of each interview, which the committee posted on its YouTube page, is roughly four-and-a-half hours long — the interviews were actually about six hours long — features Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton answering questions by the committee that are mostly related to Epstein and Maxwell.
Bill Clinton had a previous relationship with Epstein and Maxwell, and had been photographed traveling with them — on at least two occasions, he was aboard Epstein’s private plane, referred to as the Lolita Express, but has not been accused of wrongdoing by any of the disgraced financier’s victims.
He said he’d ended the relationship with Epstein before allegations the financier was trafficking and abusing young women and children had come to light, but that he “would have turned him in myself” if he’d known about his crimes, The Hill reported.
Bill Clinton also noted that he’d once had a brief discussion about Epstein with President Donald Trump “20 something years ago” that Trump had said the two had been friends but had a falling out over a property deal.
Noting that he “didn’t put any, you know, sexual spin on it,” Clinton said that would be a question better fit for Trump himself.
As opposed to Epstein, Clinton said that when he learned of Maxwell’s role, it “was really hard for me when it came out, because, you know, we have been friendly with Ghislaine. I was sad, but it was terrible what she did and she has to be punished.”
Hillary Clinton on the other hand said she did not know Epstein and that the panel would be better off asking her husband about him.
Transcripts of the interviews were not released alongside the video but are expected at a later time, according to NBC News.
