Closed-door, roughly six hours

Clinton was deposed for about six hours in a closed-door setting, following a similar-length questioning of his wife the day before. The committee is Republican-led and is investigating ties to Jeffrey Epstein and co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.

Opening statement and denials

In his opening statement, Clinton said, "I saw nothing" and "did nothing wrong, " and he criticized the panel for making his wife sit for a deposition. He also said, "Whether you subpoena 10 people or 10, 000, including her was simply not right. "

Clinton further said, "As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing—I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes. " His statement concluded, "Since I am under oath, I will not falsely state that I am looking forward to your questions. But I am ready to answer them to the best of my abilities, consistent with the facts as I know them: the legitimate, the logical and even the outlandish. "

Reactions from committee leaders

Oversight Chair James Comer, R-Ky., spoke to reporters outside the venue in Chappaqua, New York, saying Clinton "answered every question" or "attempted to answer every question" in what he called a "very productive" deposition. Comer said, "we learned some things" but "we were hoping to get more, " and described Clinton as "charming. " "He’s got Southern people skills, " Comer added.

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S. C., said Clinton answered questions "even when his attorneys told him to shut up. " Unlike his wife the day before, Clinton did not speak to reporters after the deposition.

Photos, island claims and sworn declarations

Files related to the Epstein probes that have been released to date include numerous pictures of Bill Clinton with Epstein and Maxwell. In some of the photos, Bill Clinton is shown in a hot tub, swimming in a pool with Maxwell and sitting at a table with a woman sitting on his leg. The pictures are undated, and it’s unclear where they were taken. None suggests any wrongdoing.

During the deposition, Clinton told lawmakers he did not know the woman he was pictured with in a jacuzzi in the Justice Department's release of its files related to Epstein. He said he did not have sex with the woman, when asked during his deposition. The former president also repeatedly said during his deposition that he never visited Epstein’s island.

The Clintons told the committee in sworn declarations last month that they had "no personal knowledge" of any "criminal activities" by Epstein or Maxwell.
