Former President Bill Clinton told members of the House Oversight Committee that he never witnessed the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse young women or girls.

He further claimed to never have had sexual contact with anyone introduced to him by Epstein, according to video released on Monday of last week’s closed-door depositions of the ex-president and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The deposition of Bill Clinton on Friday marked the first time a former US president was compelled to testify before a congressional committee.

“Did you ever witness Mr. Epstein sexually abuse or assault young women or girls?” Clinton was asked.

“No,” Clinton replied.

“Did you ever witness Mr. Epstein receive massages from young women or girls?” a lawmaker asked.

“Not that I recall,” Clinton said.

“Did Mr. Epstein ever discuss sexual acts of any kind with you?” Clinton was asked.

“No,” he replied.
