Bill Clinton Testifies on Epstein Case Amid UK RAF Investigation
The former U.S. president faces a series of tough questions on his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, while the UK reviews Royal Air Force records to determine whether the financier used military flights for criminal activities.
The Jeffrey Epstein dossier remains at the center of international attention. In the United States, following Hillary Clinton’s testimony, former President Bill Clinton is set to appear before the House Oversight Committee. Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, Defense Secretary John Healey has ordered a review of internal Royal Air Force files to determine whether Epstein used military flights to transport the girls he exploited within Britain.
The review spans over two decades and was prompted by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who wrote to six police forces requesting investigations into whether Prince Andrew used RAF flights, or taxpayer-funded alternatives, to meet Epstein while serving as a trade envoy in London. “The Ministry of Defence fully supports all police investigations. Our thoughts are with all victims of Epstein’s vile crimes,” Healey stated.
RAF bases can authorize private flights for payment, but approval is granted only when such activity does not compromise site security or operations.
In the U.S., attention now shifts to Bill Clinton, who will testify before the committee after his wife’s six-hour deposition. During her testimony, Hillary Clinton denied personal involvement and criticized former President Donald Trump.
The committee’s Republican chair, James Comer, who leveraged all legal measures—including threats of contempt of Congress—to compel the Clintons to testify, predicted that Bill Clinton’s testimony would “last even longer” than Hillary’s, referencing her frequent response, “I don’t know; you have to ask my husband.”
The session will take place in Chappaqua, New York, at the Clintons’ residence. It will be closed to the public but fully recorded. Last month, in an effort to avoid appearing, the Clintons submitted an affidavit asserting they had “no personal knowledge” of Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal activities.
Hillary Clinton stated she had no memory of meetings with Epstein, had never flown on his plane, visited his island, or his office, and criticized the committee for a politicized approach meant “to distract attention from President Trump’s actions and suppress legitimate inquiries” regarding years of friendship between Trump and Epstein.
For Bill Clinton, the circumstances are different. The former president, who has survived numerous investigations, sexual misconduct scandals, and an impeachment trial over his Oval Office affair with Monica Lewinsky, faces a series of challenging questions. Records confirm that between 2002 and 2003, Clinton flew dozens of times on Epstein’s plane. He acknowledged that Epstein “provided a plane large enough to accommodate my staff and Secret Service personnel for philanthropic work with the Clinton Foundation.”
Donald Trump has accused Clinton of visiting Epstein’s infamous Caribbean island multiple times, a hub for sex trafficking operations. Clinton denies ever visiting the island, a claim corroborated by Justice Department emails and Maxwell’s testimony last year to the deputy attorney general of the Trump administration while serving her 20-year sentence.
In his affidavit, Clinton admitted that Epstein attended some White House events during his presidency “and was photographed with me among tens of thousands of attendees,” but insisted he “does not recall meeting Epstein or having specific interactions while I was president.” He also stated he “does not remember speaking with Epstein for over a decade prior to his 2019 arrest,” referring to the federal charges just weeks before Epstein’s jail suicide, over ten years after a Florida plea deal for solicitation of underage prostitution.
Some of the most difficult questions are likely to concern photographs emerging from the extensive Epstein files archive. These include images of Clinton in a hot tub next to an obscured individual, swimming with Maxwell and another woman, seated on what appears to be Epstein’s plane with a girl on his lap, and another showing Clinton and Epstein in flamboyant robes suggestive of a party.
