In February 2026, Bill Clinton testified before the House Oversight Committee regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The closed-door deposition, held in Westchester County, New York, occurred one day after Hillary Clinton testified before the same panel. Bill Clinton stated he "saw nothing that gave me pause" during his time with Epstein and claimed he was unaware of Epstein's alleged sex trafficking. He asserted he would have reported Epstein to the police had he known. The committee, led by Representative James Comer, questioned Clinton about photos released by the Justice Department and Epstein's involvement with the Clintons' charitable foundation. Comer has stated that the Clintons are not accused of wrongdoing.
