WASHINGTON
\nHillary Clinton told a congressional panel she \u201chad no idea\u201d about Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s crimes, as she called for lawmakers to question President Donald Trump under oath about his past association with the late sex offender.\u201d
\nI want to see the truth come out,\u201d the ex-US secretary of state said after testifying behind closed doors for hours to a congressional committee investigating Epstein.
\nHer husband, former President Bill Clinton, will testify on Friday. The couple resisted the panel\u2019s subpoena, dismissing it as politically motivated, before agreeing to testify as potential contempt-of-Congress proceedings loomed against them. The Clintons and Trump deny wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
\nAfter spending six hours on Thursday speaking to House Oversight Committee members, Clinton told reporters she was \u201cdisappointed\u201d that the testimony was not made public, \u201cso I wouldn\u2019t have to be out here characterising it for you\u201d.
\nShe also commended Chairman James Comer for raising a series of significant questions about the nature of the investigation and for hearing her out about the areas she thinks need to be explored.\u201d
\nI appreciated that. I want to see the truth come out, so that was a reassuring way to end a very long, repetitive deposition,\u201d she said of Comer.
\nClinton also said she criticised the Republican members of the committee for not asking any other person they deposed about Epstein or his convicted associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
