Clinton denied any wrongdoing and said he did not recognize the unidentified woman in the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong,\u201d he stated, emphasizing that he had no awareness of Epstein\u2019s criminal conduct during their association. By the time of Epstein\u2019s 2008 guilty plea, Clinton said he had already ended contact with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clinton also defended his wife, Hillary Clinton, who testified the day before, asserting she had no involvement in Epstein\u2019s activities. He criticized the decision to subpoena her as unnecessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the six-hour session, Clinton acknowledged that some answers may seem limited due to the passage of time, explaining he would not speculate on events from decades earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other released images show him at social gatherings and trips where Epstein was present. Clinton stressed that inclusion in the files does not indicate misconduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deposition comes amid renewed public scrutiny following the release of millions of pages of documents. Clinton maintained that he had no knowledge of Epstein\u2019s crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He reiterated that, had he known of any illegal activity, he would never have associated with Epstein, highlighting his stance that the record should reflect his lack of involvement and awareness of wrongdoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"662\" height=\"712\" src=\"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-23.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-23.png 662w, https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-23-279x300.png 279w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former U.S. President Bill Clinton addressed questions about a controversial image in the Justice Department\u2019s release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein during a closed-door deposition before&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2969"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2969\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2971,"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2969\/revisions\/2971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnowtrendi.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
