UNDER OATH Hillary Claims Zero Knowledge

Hillary Clinton testified under oath that she has “no idea” about Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activities and cannot recall ever meeting the convicted sex offender, despite decades of documented connections between the Clintons and Epstein’s inner circle.

Clinton’s Convenient Memory Lapse Under Oath

Hillary Clinton testified before the House Oversight Committee in February 2026, claiming she had “no idea about their criminal activities” and stating emphatically, “I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein. I never flew on his plane or visited his island home or offices.”

The deposition took place at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center near the Clintons’ New York home, where both Hillary and Bill Clinton faced questions about their connections to the disgraced financier.

Committee Chair James Comer compelled the testimony after initially declining the Clintons’ offer to testify voluntarily, threatening a contempt vote before reaching an agreement.

Documented Ties Raise Serious Questions About Credibility

The historical record contradicts the Clintons’ attempts to minimize their connections to Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein visited the Clinton White House multiple times during Bill’s presidency in the early 1990s, establishing a relationship that continued after Clinton left office.

Bill Clinton took four documented trips on Epstein’s private jet in 2002-2003, including meetings at Epstein’s New York apartment in 2002.

These flights occurred years before Epstein’s 2008 Florida conviction for procuring a minor for prostitution, yet the Clintons maintained contact well into the 2000s despite growing concerns about Epstein’s activities.

Maxwell Connection Exposes Clinton Foundation’s Troubling Judgment

Hillary Clinton’s claim of never encountering Epstein becomes even more questionable given her admitted interactions with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime associate and convicted sex trafficker.

Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in 2010 and participated in Clinton Foundation conferences and Clinton Global Initiative events through 2013.

This continued association occurred after Epstein’s 2008 conviction became public knowledge, raising serious questions about the Clinton Foundation’s vetting processes and the family’s judgment regarding associations with known criminals.

The willingness to maintain ties with Maxwell while Epstein’s crimes were documented undermines claims of ignorance about the criminal enterprise.

Political Deflection Mirrors Past Clinton Scandal Playbook

Rather than addressing the substance of questions about Epstein connections, Hillary Clinton accused the House Oversight Committee of using her testimony to “distract” from President Trump’s actions.

This deflection tactic mirrors strategies employed during previous Clinton scandals, including Bill’s 1998 impeachment, when Hillary blamed a “vast right-wing conspiracy” rather than addressing her husband’s misconduct.

The closed-door nature of the depositions and the Clintons’ preemptive public statements suggest a coordinated effort to control the narrative while avoiding full transparency about the extent of their relationships with Epstein and Maxwell.

The House Oversight Committee’s investigation continues as part of broader efforts to obtain full transparency regarding Epstein files that the Justice Department has been slow to release.

For Americans who value accountability and transparency in government, the Clintons’ selective memory and defensive posture raise legitimate concerns about what remains hidden.

The testimony represents yet another chapter in decades of Clinton scandals, where denials and deflections replace straightforward answers, leaving the public to question whether powerful political figures face the same standards of accountability as ordinary citizens.
