Former President Bill Clinton said he had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal conduct and “did nothing wrong,” according to opening remarks released publicly on Friday as he appeared for a closed-door deposition before the House oversight committee.

“I had no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing,” Clinton said in the prepared statement posted to X ahead of the interview. “I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong.” Clinton’s comments preceded more than six hours of testimony during a deposition held just one mile from his Chappaqua, New York home, which concluded just after 5 p.m. Friday in what committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said he “answered every question.”
