Former President Bill Clinton testified before a congressional panel in New York regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The House Oversight Committee questioned Clinton about newly released files, including a photo of him in a hot tub with an unidentified person. Clinton stated he "saw nothing" and "did nothing wrong" related to Epstein's crimes, claiming he was unaware of Epstein's activities and would have reported him if he had known. He denied having sex with the woman in the photograph. Both Bill and Hillary Clinton initially resisted the subpoena before agreeing to testify. The committee chairman called the deposition "very productive" and plans to release video and a transcript.
