Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified before the House Oversight Committee during a closed session in Chappaqua, New York, that lasted seven hours. Clinton categorically denied any personal connection to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

"I do not recall ever meeting Mr. Epstein. I never flew on his plane, nor did I visit his island, homes, or offices," Clinton stated. Throughout the entire session, she maintained the same position, emphasizing that she has no knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities.

Newly released US Department of Justice documents show photographs of Bill Clinton with Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein, and Maxwell - convicted in 2021 for recruiting minors for sexual abuse - claims it was she who connected Bill Clinton and Epstein. Bill Clinton traveled on Epstein's plane at least 24 times between 2002 and 2003 for the purposes of his foundation. His representatives confirm he severed contact with Epstein around 2005.

Hillary Clinton criticized the investigation, stating it veered into "rather unusual" topics when questions turned to UFOs and "Pizzagate" - a debunked conspiracy theory. She accused Congress of sidestepping the issue of Trump's ties to Epstein. Husband Bill Clinton was scheduled to testify the following day.
