Former United States President Bill Clinton stated on Friday in his opening statements before a congressional committee questioning him about his relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that he was unaware of the crimes Epstein was alleged to have committed and did nothing wrong. 'I had no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing. I did not travel with him or visit any of his properties. I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I did not see. No matter how many photos you show me, there are two things in the end that matter more than your interpretation of those photos from 20 years ago. Nothing.' Clinton emphasized that his wife was called to testify despite having 'nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein.' 'This is not only for my benefit, but because it serves no purpose for me to play detective 24 years later,' he added. Before defending his innocence, Clinton had words for his wife, chiding the committee for summoning her even though 'she had nothing to do with it.' 'Whether they called 10 people or 10,000, including her, it was just not right,' he said. In a statement posted on his X account, Clinton was very firm: 'I saw nothing and did nothing wrong.' He also stated that 'as someone who grew up in a home with domestic violence, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had the slightest idea of what he was doing, but I would have reported him myself.' Clinton also asserted that Epstein hid his behavior for a long time and that 'by the time his guilty plea became public in 2008, I had long since stopped associating with him.' Regarding the questions congressmen plan to ask him, he showed his commitment to the truth by assuring, 'I am bound by my oath not to speculate or guess. They have waited too long for both.'
