Former President Bill Clinton is testifying before Congress regarding his past connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The closed-door deposition in Chappaqua, New York, marks the first time a former president has been compelled to testify before Congress. Lawmakers are seeking answers about Clinton's relationship with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell from the late 1990s and early 2000s, even though Clinton has not been accused of any wrongdoing. Republicans have long sought to question Clinton about Epstein, particularly after photos surfaced showing Clinton with a woman on Epstein's plane. Hillary Clinton testified the day before that she had no knowledge of Epstein's abuse and barely remembered meeting him.
