Former US President Clinton denies knowledge of Epstein's crimes
On February 27 local time, former US President Bill Clinton was questioned by the House of Representatives regarding the Epstein case at his residence in New York. He stated that he "did nothing wrong" and had never seen any abuse or criminal behavior by Epstein.
Before testifying, Clinton released an opening statement denying that he had ever known about Epstein's criminal activities, claiming that "he saw no suspicious signs and did nothing improper." He said his contact with Epstein was limited and that he had stopped communicating with him before Epstein's 2008 plea.
He also emphasized that he would answer all questions posed by the House of Representatives based on the facts he knew. At the same time, he defended his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, stating that she "had nothing to do with Epstein," neither traveling with him nor visiting his related places.
Maria Zakharova, a spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, said that Hillary Clinton's testimony about her husband's involvement in the Epstein case was a lie. Those found in the Epstein case were involved in making decisions that affected the country and its people.
US Deputy Attorney General Todd Barch said on January 30 that the release of materials related to the Epstein case had been completed. The total number of released documents has exceeded 3.5 million. In 2019, Epstein was charged in the United States with the crime of trafficking minors for sexual purposes. He died in prison in July of the same year, and the investigation concluded that his death was a suicide.
