He did not know. On Lisa Brady, FOX News. That's what former President Bill Clinton is telling the House Oversight Committee in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, posting a statement as his deposition was beginning that he saw nothing and did nothing wrong, saw no signs of Epstein's sexual abuse.

This is an extraordinary moment, the testimony of a former president. Republicans don't think that Bill Clinton necessarily did anything wrong. This is all born out of a House effort last summer to compel the release of the Epstein files.

Republican Nancy Mace says Hillary was, quote, screaming and unhinged during the deposition. Unlike Hillary Clinton, her husband associated with Epstein. He traveled with Epstein.

listen to podcasts as he heads to Texas. President Trump just telling reporters he's not happy with Iran, but that more talks are expected after a third round mediated by Oman and held in Geneva yesterday.
