Clinton Calls Out Trump Over Epstein Ties
Hillary Clinton has accused a Republican-led US House panel of trying to “protect one political party and one public official” as she testified on her alleged links with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The former Secretary of State made the remarks while appearing before the House panel investigating Epstein’s crimes.
According to her opening statement, Clinton stated that she had no knowledge of Epstein’s activities and never recalled encountering him. She also denied visiting his island or flying on his plane. Clinton slammed the committee, saying its investigation was designed to shield President Donald Trump from scrutiny.
“If this committee is serious about learning the truth about Epstein’s trafficking crimes… it would ask him directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein files,” Clinton said. She also referenced an email exchange between Epstein and billionaire Elon Musk, suggesting the committee subpoena anyone who knew about parties on Epstein’s island.
The hearing comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Epstein’s influential social circle, including Trump and Bill Clinton. Epstein, a wealthy financier, was convicted of sex trafficking and died in custody in 2019. The committee’s investigation has sparked debate over accountability and transparency.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer denied the investigation was a “witch hunt,” saying the goal was to understand Epstein’s actions. Bill Clinton is set to testify before the panel tomorrow.
The controversy highlights the Trump administration’s handling of Epstein’s case, with critics accusing officials of failing to release all investigative files. The Justice Department has said it would review claims of withheld documents.
