WATCH: Bill Clinton defends President Trump during Epstein hearing

March 3, 2026

From Fox News: Former President Bill Clinton told lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee last week that he couldn’t recall President Donald Trump saying anything that would link him to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

As Democrats pressed Clinton on his relationship with Trump and the pair’s numerous mentions in the Epstein files, Clinton paused to clarify his stance.

“I hate this because I don’t think I should inject anything, but I do not want to leave the impression… He, the president, never — this is 20-something years ago — never said anything to me to make me think he was involved with anything improper with regard to Epstein,” Clinton told investigators last week.

“As I said earlier, the only conversation I had with President Trump about this was in the early 2000s, and I have no information that he did anything wrong,” Clinton added later in the deposition.

“I just want it all out there. I want everybody to get it all out there and let everybody see where we are,” Clinton emphasized.

The Oversight Committee fired back at Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), who had implied earlier that Clinton didn’t really stand up for Trump.

“Glad to see these videos and transcripts are out. Releasing video footage is critical to ensure that testimony is fully accessible to the American people,” Garcia sneered after the videos were released.

Chair James Comer responded, “We’re glad you think so. You lied to the press and said that Chairman @RepJamesComer did not give a “complete accurate description” of what Clinton said exonerating President Trump. Guess what? The videos are out, and once again, you have been exposed. 🤥 Roll the tape.👇🏻🎞️”

Comer then provided side-by-side videos of Garcia’s statement last week, compared with the actual tape of Clinton’s comments.
