Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sharply criticized House Republicans during testimony related to the congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, accusing GOP lawmakers of pursuing a politically motivated inquiry while deflecting attention from questions surrounding President Donald Trump.<\/em><\/p>\n

In prepared remarks, Clinton said she was compelled to appear before Congress despite, she argued, having no information that would advance the committee\u2019s investigation into Epstein and his longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell. \u201cYou have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation,\u201d Clinton said, according to her prepared statement. She alleged the inquiry was intended to distract from scrutiny surrounding Trump rather than uncover new evidence related to Epstein\u2019s crimes.<\/p>\n

Clinton also criticized House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, arguing that the committee\u2019s subpoena was based on the assumption that she possessed relevant information about Epstein\u2019s criminal activities. \u201cAs I stated in my sworn declaration, I had no knowledge of their criminal conduct,\u201d Clinton said. She added that she does not recall ever meeting Epstein and denied ever flying on his private aircraft or visiting his properties.<\/p>\n

Clinton Denies Epstein Connection<\/h2>\n

CNN has not independently verified every claim made during Clinton\u2019s testimony. No court has found Clinton criminally liable in connection with Epstein\u2019s activities. Throughout her testimony, Clinton repeatedly called for broader transparency surrounding the government\u2019s handling of Epstein-related records. She argued that if lawmakers are committed to determining the full scope of Epstein\u2019s trafficking network, they should support the public release of all relevant investigative files consistent with applicable law and the protection of victims.<\/p>\n

Clinton also said congressional investigators should question Trump directly under oath if they believe his name appears in records relevant to the investigation. She argued that such testimony would be more appropriate than focusing on witnesses who maintain they have no firsthand knowledge of Epstein\u2019s crimes.<\/p>\n

The White House and Republican lawmakers have rejected Democratic accusations that the investigation is politically motivated, arguing that Congress has a responsibility to examine all potential leads related to Epstein\u2019s network and any individuals who may have had connections to him.<\/p>\n

Epstein Case Background<\/h2>\n

Epstein, a financier who associated with numerous prominent public figures over several decades, died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Maxwell was later convicted on federal sex trafficking-related charges for helping recruit and groom underage girls for Epstein. Calls for the release of additional Epstein-related records have come from lawmakers and members of the public across the political spectrum. Federal authorities have released some court documents in recent years, while other records remain subject to ongoing legal restrictions, privacy considerations, and court orders. Investigations into Epstein\u2019s associates and related matters continue to draw significant public and political attention.<\/p>\n
