"You have compelled me to testify, fully aware I have no knowledge that would assist in your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump's actions and to cover them up."
"Clinton's opening statement criticised an institutional failure in the US government to seek truth and justice for the victims and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes."
Hillary Clinton testified before a Republican-led House panel investigating connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In her opening statement, Clinton criticized the panel for institutional failure to seek truth and justice for victims. She accused Republicans of using the hearings as a distraction from President Trump's actions and questioned why other subpoenaed individuals provided written answers while she and her husband Bill Clinton were compelled to testify in person. Both Clintons maintained they had no knowledge of Epstein's criminal activity and claimed to have provided all relevant information. The panel threatened contempt charges when the Clintons initially resisted appearing in person.
