NEW YORK, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- Former U.S. President Bill Clinton on Friday told House lawmakers that he had "no idea" of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.
"As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing -- I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals," Clinton said in a statement posted on X.
"I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong," Clinton said in the statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee at the outset of a closed-door deposition.
The deposition in Chappaqua, New York, came one day after his wife, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, sat with lawmakers to give her own testimony. ■
