'I would have turned him in myself': Bill Clinton denies knowledge of Epstein's dealings

Former President Bill Clinton on Friday denied knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking activities, saying he would have personally turned him in to law enforcement had he been aware of his dealings.

"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," he posted on X.

Clinton made the remarks ahead of his deposition before the House Oversight Committee. His wife, Hillary Clinton, testified before the panel on Thursday and denied having ever met Epstein.

"I'm here today for two reasons," Clinton said in a prepared opening statement. "The first is that I love my country. And America was built upon the idea that no person is above the law, even Presidents-especially Presidents."

"The second reason I'm here is that the girls and women whose lives Jeffrey Epstein destroyed deserve not only justice, but healing," he said. Clinton further denied any wrongdoing.
