Former U.S. President Bill Clinton testified before a closed-door congressional inquiry on Friday, February 27, 2026, asserting he had no prior knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes. His deposition followed testimony by his wife, Hillary Clinton, the previous day, as lawmakers intensify scrutiny into Epstein’s network and its alleged ties to high-profile figures.
Bill Clinton, who previously stated he severed ties with Epstein before the financier’s criminal activities escalated, faced questions about his interactions with the convicted sex trafficker. The inquiry coincides with mounting public pressure on the U.S. Department of Justice to disclose details about current President Donald Trump’s alleged connections to the scandal, which has drawn global attention.
The hearings mark a pivotal moment in the years-long investigation, reigniting debates about accountability and transparency in political circles. Analysts suggest the testimonies could influence ongoing efforts to unravel Epstein’s international operations and their impact on U.S. institutions.
