Bill Clinton says Trump 'never said anything' to suggest he was involved with Epstein: Comer

By Fox News · Fox News

Former President Bill Clinton suggested he could not recall President Donald Trump ever implicating himself in Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, one of the Republicans deposing him said Friday. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., briefly updated reporters during Clinton's deposition in the panel's Epstein probe. The deposition began a little after 11 a.m. and is expected to continue into early Friday evening. "I know there's a lot of obsession about President Trump from the media, a lot of curiosity about President Trump from media. I want to make a statement because they'll probably not mention this when they come out here," Comer said, referring to Democrats on the committee. He said the panel's top Democrat, Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., asked Clinton if Trump should be called before the committee like he was.

"The president went on to say that the president, Trump, ‘has never said anything to me to make me think he was involved,’ and he meant with Epstein," Comer said. "I thought that was an interesting thing that President Clinton said." His deposition, and that of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton before him, are taking place in the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center in Westchester County, N.Y. The Clintons have claimed the New York City suburb as their permanent residence since leaving the White House in early 2000. Democrats who emerged from the performing arts center minutes later to update reporters signaled they did not agree with Comer's account but would not go into details on their own. Garcia suggested there was an agreement between all parties not to discuss details of the deposition as it was happening.
