Bill Clinton's Straight Talk Rocks Epstein Probe

Former President Bill Clinton sat for a closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee on February 27, 2026, telling lawmakers he “saw nothing” and “did nothing wrong” with regard to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. That blunt, short answer under oath stunned those who expected evasions, and it was captured in opening remarks Clinton shared publicly as the hearing began.

 The day before, Hillary Clinton had also been questioned by the panel, prompting sharp exchanges and sparking complaints that the inquiry was partisan theater. Republicans on the committee pushed for answers about travel, photos, and the Clintons’ ties to Epstein, insisting these depositions were necessary despite Democratic objections.

House Oversight Chair James Comer wasted no time framing Friday’s testimony as vindication, saying Bill Clinton’s answers effectively exonerated President Trump and calling the proceedings a rebuke to Democratic theatrics. Comer’s statement that Clinton was the “third witness” to clear Trump under oath underscores how the committee is using sworn testimony to push back against what Republicans call weaponized investigations.

Conservatives should welcome sworn testimony that undermines the fevered accusations hurled at a sitting president. For too long the left has used media-driven smears and selective leaks to punish political opponents; when witnesses under oath say there’s no evidence, common sense and the rule of law demand the smear campaign stop.

Democrats who championed endless probes ought to explain why they pursued pageantry instead of facts, and they must answer for turning a legitimate inquiry into a political circus. The American people are tired of investigations that feel engineered to ruin reputations rather than to find truth, and these depositions exposed that bias in a stark way.

Chairman Comer deserves credit for forcing long-overdue answers out of powerful figures who previously shrugged off scrutiny. Whether you cheer or scoff at his tactics, the result was plain: sworn testimony that contradicted the narrative Democrats were pushing, and that should lead to a recalibration of priorities in Washington.

If Washington is ever to be restored to decency, oversight must be relentless, even-handed, and focused on facts rather than headlines. Friday’s depositions were a reminder that sworn truth still matters, and conservatives should press that advantage until accountability and fairness return to the center of American public life.
