Hilary Clinton Questioned on Jeffrey Epstein, Denies Any Connection
She acknowledged being aware of her husband’s association with Epstein but maintained that he had no knowledge of his criminal conduct.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been questioned about her relationship with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, as renewed public scrutiny surrounds figures once connected to him.
She denied to have had any sort of relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, but knew Ghislaine Maxwell “as an acquaintance.”
“I have never met Jeffrey Epstein, never had any connection or communication with him. I knew Ghislaine Maxwell casually as an acquaintance, but whatever they asked me, I did my very best to respond,” the former Secretary of States said.
During the exchange, Clinton dismissed any suggestion of wrongdoing on her part and deflected the spotlight toward President Donald Trump, stating that he should testify under oath regarding his own past interactions with Epstein.
Former President Bill Clinton will be testifying today with regards to his relationship with Epstein. The former President was referenced in the Epstein files numerous times, including photos featuring women.
Reacting to the relationship between her husband, the former president, she acknowledged awareness of the relationship her husband had with Epstein, but denied he had any knowledge of his criminality.
Epstein, who was arrested in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges, died later that year in a New York jail while awaiting trial. His case continues to reverberate across American politics, with both Democrats and Republicans facing questions about past associations.
Speaking to journalists after the session, Clinton argued that most individuals who encountered Epstein prior to his 2008 criminal plea were unaware of his misconduct, including her husband.
Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to state charges related to solicitation of prostitution involving a minor, in a deal that later drew widespread criticism for its leniency.
Donald Trump had arrested him again in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges and died in jail while awaiting trial.
When asked whether she believed the hearing process had been fair, Clinton expressed frustration with the it, and made it clear that she does not intend to testify again.
She described the questioning as repetitive and at times off-topic, claiming that lawmakers could have used the session more productively if their goal was to “investigate the investigations,” which she said was the stated scope.
Reporters further questioned the attendance of Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite convicted in connection with Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, at the 2010 wedding of her daughter, Chelsea Clinton. At the time of the wedding, Maxwell had already been named in a civil lawsuit, and Epstein had previously been convicted.
Clinton responded that Maxwell attended as the guest of another invitee.
Clinton’s remarks have reignited partisan debate, as critics on both sides demand greater transparency from public officials who had any ties, social or professional, to Epstein.
The renewed focus underscores how the Epstein scandal remains a lingering fault line in U.S. political discourse, surfacing whenever accountability, influence, and elite networks are brought into question.
