Videos released Monday by a U.S. House committee offer a detailed look into the depositions of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton regarding their connections to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The release of these recordings, totaling over four and a half hours each, comes as part of an ongoing congressional investigation into Epstein’s crimes and network. The Associated Press reported on the release last week, noting Clinton’s attempts to distance himself from Epstein during the closed-door testimony.
Hillary Clinton testified before the Republican-led House committee on February 26, 2026, at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center in Chappaqua, New York, where the Clintons maintain a residence. Bill Clinton followed with his own deposition on February 27, 2026. The depositions are the latest development in a years-long effort to uncover the full extent of Epstein’s activities and the involvement of prominent figures in his orbit. The release of these videos marks a significant step in making that information public, though the investigation continues.
During his testimony, Bill Clinton recounted a conversation with Donald Trump, placing it sometime between 2002 and 2003. According to Clinton, Trump explained his break with Epstein as stemming from a disagreement over a real estate property both men were interested in acquiring. This account offers a glimpse into the complex relationships Epstein cultivated among the wealthy and powerful.
Trump’s Account of the Rift
Yet, Donald Trump offered a different version of events in July, as reported by Politico. Trump stated the falling out concerned young female employees at his Mar-a-Lago spa in Florida, who were allegedly recruited by Epstein, including Virginia Giuffre, who was a minor at the time and later accused Trump of abuse. This discrepancy highlights the conflicting narratives surrounding Epstein’s connections and the challenges in establishing a definitive timeline of events.
Virginia Giuffre, a central figure in the accusations against Epstein, died by suicide in April 2025. Prior to her death, the White House had maintained that Trump had removed Epstein from Mar-a-Lago due to his “twisted” behavior. Clinton also indicated to lawmakers that he was unaware of any wrongdoing by Trump related to Epstein, further complicating the picture of their interactions.
“I Saw Nothing and Did Nothing Wrong”
Following her testimony, Hillary Clinton reiterated to the press that she had never met Jeffrey Epstein and that her husband had no knowledge of his crimes. Bill Clinton echoed these statements after his deposition. “I saw nothing and did nothing wrong,” he insisted in a video released Friday evening, reaffirming that he had distanced himself from Epstein more than a decade before his death in prison in 2019.
Both Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, both 79 years old, acknowledge having had ties to Epstein but maintain they severed those connections well before his death and were unaware of his criminal activities. The release of documents related to the Epstein case by the U.S. Department of Justice does not automatically imply wrongdoing on the part of anyone mentioned within them.
Since the Justice Department released “three million pages” of documents on January 30, numerous leaders and figures worldwide have faced scrutiny due to their past connections with Epstein, leading to criminal investigations, arrests, and resignations, particularly in Europe. The fallout from these revelations continues to unfold, demonstrating the far-reaching consequences of Epstein’s crimes.
The release of these depositions is likely to fuel further debate and scrutiny surrounding the connections between powerful individuals and Jeffrey Epstein. As the investigation progresses, the public will be looking for greater clarity on the extent of Epstein’s network and the actions taken – or not taken – by those who interacted with him. The House committee has not yet announced a timeline for further developments in the investigation, but additional hearings and document releases are anticipated.
