Hillary Clinton gave testimony under oath behind closed doors before the House Oversight Committee as part of an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's network of contacts. According to media reports, it lasted over six hours and took place in Chappaqua, New York, in a public facility near the Clintons' home. Hillary Clinton consistently denied ever meeting Epstein, flying on his plane, or visiting his properties, and also emphasized that she had no knowledge of his crimes. She did admit to briefly knowing Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's long-time associate. After the hearing, she criticized the quality and repetitiveness of the questions, pointing out that topics such as UFOs and Pizzagate were raised. In her view, the committee, dominated by Republicans, is conducting actions calculated to divert attention from Donald Trump's relationship with Epstein; some sources also cite a dispute over the hearing's rules and an allegation of violating the established procedures for a closed session.
ponad 6 godzin — duration of Hillary Clinton's hearing In 2008, Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty in the USA to a charge related to soliciting a minor for prostitution and served an 18-month prison sentence. The case has for years highlighted the tension between elite influence and the effectiveness of law enforcement in prosecuting sexual crimes.
A hearing for Bill Clinton, the former U.S. president, is scheduled for Friday, which media describe as a rare event in congressional history. Republican committee chairman James Comer emphasized that no one is bringing criminal charges against Clinton but pointed to numerous questions regarding the relationship with Epstein. Some publications recall that Bill Clinton's name appears repeatedly in the disclosed materials, and his proximity to Epstein is documented by photos and accounts of travels. The cited reports include, among other things, information about four flights on Epstein's private jet in 2002–2003 and about a donation from Epstein to the 1992 campaign, when the scale of the financier's crimes was not yet publicly known. Simultaneously, Democrats are demanding Trump's testimony under oath; a British newspaper also described disclosed FBI notes from 2019 containing unverified, descriptive accusations against Trump from the 1980s, presented as unconfirmed.
Key dates of the case in media coverage: 2008 — Epstein's guilty plea; 2019 — Epstein's death; February 26, 2026 — Hillary Clinton's testimony; February 27, 2026 — Planned testimony of Bill Clinton A third thread, present especially in German media, concerns Epstein's possible connections with individuals and circles in Germany and calls for verification of such contacts by the authorities. Names mentioned include Henry Jarecki and AI researcher Joshua Bach, and German Health Minister Nina Warken spoke about the need for investigation by the proper agencies, cautioning that the picture remains incomplete. The coverage also shows a difference in emphasis: some media focus on the procedural aspect of the hearing and the lack of charges, others on the political confrontation surrounding the question of why the committee does not start with the current president.„I don’t know how many times I had to say I did not know Jeffrey Epstein.” (I don't know how many times I had to say I did not know Jeffrey Epstein.) — Hillary Clinton„Oui, je le suis.” (Yes, I am.) — Hillary Clinton
