Bill Clinton Tells House Panel He Wasn't Aware of Epstein Crimes

Former President Bill Clinton delivered a sweeping denial of any knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes as he began closed-door testimony Friday before a House committee investigating the disgraced financier's political connections. "I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong," Clinton said in a statement prepared for delivery at his closed-door deposition in Chappaqua, New York. "I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn't see." Clinton said he had "no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing" and described their relationship as a "brief acquaintance" that ended years before Epstein's conduct became public. Clinton on Friday became the first former US president forced to testify to Congress. Bloomberg News Senior Investigative Reporter Jason Leopold joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss.
