Watch: Bill Clinton defends Trump in Epstein deposition video

Former President Bill Clinton testified under oath that President Donald Trump never indicated any improper involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, according to video released Monday by the House Oversight Committee.

In a 4.5-hour deposition Friday in Chappaqua, New York, as part of the committee’s Epstein probe, Clinton went out of his way to defend Trump. Despite no "follow-up question" compelling him to do so, Clinton interrupted the proceedings to note that he did not want to "leave the impression" that Trump ever mentioned to him any involvement "in anything improper with regard to Epstein."

Clinton then recalled a conversation with Trump from around 2002 or 2003 at a charity golf tournament at "his golf course" when Trump mentioned his past association with Epstein.

'I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong.'

Clinton said Trump told him about Epstein: “You know, we had some great times together over the years, but we fell out all because of a real estate deal.”

“The president never ... said anything to me to make me think he was involved with anything improper with regards to Epstein either, he just didn't,” Clinton stated.

He later emphasized, “I have no information that he did anything wrong.”

About his own associations with Epstein, Clinton declared in his opening statement: “I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong.” He emphasized he had “no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing” and saw no signs of abuse.

The committee released videos of both Bill Clinton's and Hillary Clinton’s depositions on Monday.

Republicans highlighted Clinton’s comments on Trump, with Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) calling it an exoneration. Democrats have pushed for Trump to testify as well.

Neither the Clintons nor Trump have been formally accused of wrongdoing in Epstein’s crimes.
