President #BillClinton is testifying Friday before members of #Congress who are investigating convicted sex offender Jeffrey #Epstein, answering for his connections to the disgraced financier from more than 2 decades ago.

“I saw nothing, & I did nothing wrong,” the former #Democratic president said in an opening statement he shared on social media at the outset of the deposition.

It comes a day after Clinton’s wife, former Secretary of State #HillaryClinton, sat with lawmakers for her own deposition, where she told lawmakers that she had no knowledge of how #Epstein had sexually abused underage girls & had no recollection of even meeting him.

Neither #Clinton has been accused of any wrongdoing.

Clinton’s remarks state that he is testifying “to offer what little I know so that it might prevent anything like this from ever happening again” & because “the girls & women whose lives Jeffrey Epstein destroyed deserve not only justice, but healing.”

President #BillClinton said in his prepared opening remarks that his wife—the former secretary of state & First Lady—should never have been ensnared by the committee.

“Before we start, I have to get personal,” #Clinton said in his statement. “You made Hillary come in. She had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Nothing. She has no memory of even meeting him. She neither traveled with him nor visited any of his properties.”

President #BillClinton continued, “Whether you subpoenaed 10 people or 10,000, including her was simply not right.”

And he tells lawmakers that, just as he’s bound in sworn testimony, “each & every one of you owes nothing less than #truth & #accuracy to the American people.”

“As someone who grew up in a home with #DomesticAbuse, 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 & led the call for #justice for his #crimes, not sweetheart deals,” #BillClinton said in his prepared opening statement.

“We are only here because he hid it from everyone so well for so long.”
