After six months, a House Committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein finally got former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify last week. Then, on Monday (March 2), the House Oversight Committee released videos of Bill and Hillary’s depositions. One particular clip shows the former president smiling at old photos, and later snatching them back from his lawyer when she pulled them away. In response, social media is sounding off with theories about why Bill Clinton was so enthusiastic! Additional videos from the deposition have also gone viral.
About 55 minutes into Bill Clinton’s deposition, a video captured him closely examining a document featuring a photo. The circulating clip on X (formerly Twitter) is only about 38 seconds long, and in the first five seconds, Clinton is seen staring at the paper with his mouth slightly open. One of his lawyers pulls the paper away and Bill immediately attempts to reach for it again, saying, “Let me see it.” Once the paper is back in his hand, he looks at the picture again, seemingly saying, “Hmmm” and “Okay.” Again, his lawyer pulls the document away and sets it down in front of her, while Bill Clinton looks up with a smile and crosses his arms. The video cuts off while a lawmaker begins introducing questions about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes.

This one is my favorite. Bill staring at the photo of girls in a hot tub so much that his lawyer has to take it away, then he fights her to take it back to keep looking. Great optic. https://t.co/BYFQbz5V2U

A Democratic lawmaker asked questions about a photo that showed Bill Clinton in a pool with a woman whose face was redacted. The former president said he did not know the woman and did not engage in sexual activity with her. He said the photo was from a trip to Brunei for charitable work. Additionally, Clinton said a number of people in their travel party were swimming. He also said that he was not aware that one young woman who was ostensibly working as a masseuse and gave him a neck massage on one flight was in fact a victim of sexual abuse.
“There’s nothing that I saw when I was around him that made me realize he was trafficking women,” Bill Clinton told the committee.

Bill Clinton said he had once visited Jeffrey Epstein’s townhouse in New York City. However, he said repeatedly he had never visited Epstein’s private island or other properties.
"Did you ever receive a massage from her?"
Clinton: "I got a back rub by neck work. I think Chauntae did it."
"Did you ever visit Epstein's island?"
Clinton: "No."
Virginia Giuffre testified she saw him there with two young girls.

Asked by Republicans whether they had talked about young women or girls together, Clinton responded emphatically: “No.” A video of that line of questioning has also gone viral.

Also, Bill Clinton acknowledged he maintained a closer relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend and confidant. But he maintained that was largely because of close mutual connections. He also said “she has to be punished” for her conviction on sex trafficking charges.
Bill Clinton, under oath, on how he knew Ghislaine Maxwell:
"She was very good friends with Evelyn Rothschild and his wife Lynn, whom I knew and was in regular touch with."
He says he was closer to Maxwell than to Epstein.

The viral video of Bill Clinton smiling at throwback photos stems from Republicans and Democrats questioning him about said pictures, which the government released with the Jeffrey Epstein files. Clinton said he first remembered meeting Epstein when he flew aboard his private jet in 2002. At the time, they were traveling for his and Hillary Clintons’ humanitarian work.
Overall, Bill Clinton described his relationship with Epstein as a little more than “cordial.” He stuck by that answer even when the subject was the note he wrote for Epstein’s 50th birthday. Also, regarding their travel, Bill Clinton described an arrangement with Jeffrey Epstein. The Clintons got use of his private jet for humanitarian trips in exchange for Bill Clinton discussing politics and economics with him.
Clinton testified that Larry Summers, who had worked as treasury secretary in Clinton’s administration, helped make that connection. But Clinton said they went separate ways in 2003 after he sensed that Epstein was not deeply interested in the humanitarian work.
“We were friendly, but I didn’t know him well enough to say we were friends,” he said.
Epstein visited the White House numerous times during Clinton’s presidency. There are photos of them shaking hands. Still, Clinton told lawmakers he did not recall those interactions.
One line of questioning stirred up curiosity from lawmakers. That was what Clinton had to say about President Donald Trump. He made clear he believed it was important for anyone, including presidents, to come forward and testify to their knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein. Clinton also shared how he and Trump had briefly discussed Epstein at a charity golf tournament more than 20 years ago. He said Trump had never “said anything to me to make me think he was involved in anything improper with regard to Epstein.” However, he also remarked that those two men had a falling-out over a real estate deal.

"We had some great times together over the years, but we fell out all because of a real estate deal. I'm sorry it happened."
