Arabic version: هيلاري كلينتون تدلي بشهادتها حول إبستين، وتدعو لاستجواب ترامب

Hillary Clinton told a congressional panel she “had no idea” about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, as she called for lawmakers to question President Donald Trump under oath about his past association with the late sex offender. “I want to see the truth come out,” the ex-US secretary of state said after testifying behind closed doors for hours to a congressional committee investigating Epstein.

According to BBC News, Clinton expressed disappointment that the details of her testimony were not made public, emphasizing her desire for transparency. She acknowledged the significant questions raised by Committee Chairman James Comer during her deposition and voiced criticism towards Republican members for not questioning others linked to Epstein.

Bill Clinton is scheduled to testify on Friday. The couple resisted the panel’s subpoena, dismissing it as politically motivated, before agreeing to testify as potential contempt-of-Congress proceedings loomed against them.

The deposition was briefly interrupted due to a photo leak by Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, which Democrats deemed against the rules. Following the session, some committee members expressed dissatisfaction with the proceedings, indicating that they believed more could have been accomplished. They are advocating for the public release of the full transcript of Hillary Clinton’s testimony within 24 hours.
