Bill Clinton denies any wrongdoing in Epstein investigation
Former US president Bill Clinton has denied any wrongdoing in connection with his links to Jeffrey Epstein during testimony to a congressional panel. Clinton insists he ended his association with Epstein before the financier’s 2008 conviction and maintains he never witnessed or participated in any illegal activity. Lawmakers from both parties questioned Clinton, with Republicans citing inconsistencies and Democrats urging the panel to also question Donald Trump about his own ties to Epstein. The proceedings have been closed to the public, with the Clintons calling for transparency.
