00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:03.069
What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
2
00:00:03.169 --> 00:00:06.790
Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to pick up
3
00:00:06.849 --> 00:00:10.419
where we left off with the Hillary Clinton testimony from
4
00:00:10.460 --> 00:00:15.759
her deposition with Congress. Question, and finally, do you think
5
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:20.100
that Donald Trump should be deposed by the committee? Answer, absolutely.
6
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.410
I was a lawyer, and as a lawyer, you would
7
00:00:22.429 --> 00:00:25.809
look for patterns and practice. If you were deposing a
8
00:00:25.809 --> 00:00:28.309
witness in a case that you were trying, if you
9
00:00:28.350 --> 00:00:30.890
were in court, you What did you know about the person?
10
00:00:31.289 --> 00:00:33.929
What you knew could influence how you questioned that person.
11
00:00:34.429 --> 00:00:36.810
How you tried the case. Donald Trump has been held
12
00:00:36.869 --> 00:00:39.939
civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers.
13
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:43.320
Nine members of a jury found him liable in the
14
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:47.259
sexual assault of E. Gene Carroll. That is behavior. That
15
00:00:47.299 --> 00:00:49.740
fits a pattern. If one were looking for a pattern.
16
00:00:50.380 --> 00:00:53.710
He's also been convicted of 34 felony counts. for attempting
17
00:00:53.750 --> 00:00:56.170
to hide a relationship with an escort, and then to
18
00:00:56.189 --> 00:00:59.560
commit business fraud to prevent it from becoming public in
19
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:04.459
the 2016 campaign, which was ultimately election interference. So if
20
00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:06.560
I was running the committee, or if I was involved
21
00:01:06.579 --> 00:01:09.659
in the investigation, I'd be looking for people who maybe
22
00:01:09.700 --> 00:01:13.219
had some prior conduct that might be relevant to either
23
00:01:13.299 --> 00:01:15.840
money or crimes. And yes, I think that would be
24
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.200
in keeping with the scope of the investigation of this
25
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.739
committee to set up a deposition with President Trump. I
26
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.579
know he's been deposed many, many, many times. He's taken
27
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.590
the Fifth Amendment many, many hundreds of times. So I'm
28
00:01:27.609 --> 00:01:29.450
not saying you're going to get a lot of information.
29
00:01:30.109 --> 00:01:33.069
But given what's in the files and given past and
30
00:01:33.090 --> 00:01:36.909
prior conduct, he would be on my witness list. Question,
31
00:01:36.950 --> 00:01:39.670
thank you. We can go off the record. So they
32
00:01:39.689 --> 00:01:43.959
come back on and now it's Chairman Comer. Yes, and
33
00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:46.959
thank you, Madam Secretary. And we appreciate what you said
34
00:01:47.260 --> 00:01:49.390
in the last round of questions. I want to
Load full transcript
be
35
00:01:49.430 --> 00:01:53.680
very clear. This committee is taking this investigation very seriously.
36
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.659
We're following the money. We have a history of doing
37
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.700
that over the past two years. I wrote the Treasury
38
00:01:59.739 --> 00:02:05.019
Department requesting suspicious activity reports related to Jeffrey Epstein. Treasury
39
00:02:05.099 --> 00:02:07.969
has now been in full compliance, and our staff has
40
00:02:08.009 --> 00:02:11.550
spent untold hours reviewing those documents. And I know the
41
00:02:11.590 --> 00:02:16.469
minority staff have also reviewed those documents. Anytime we subpoena anything,
42
00:02:16.789 --> 00:02:20.599
both sides get it. Based on the suspicious activity reports,
43
00:02:20.969 --> 00:02:23.930
I then issued subpoenas to two banks, Deutsche Bank and
44
00:02:23.969 --> 00:02:27.469
JP Morgan. Those two banks are also in compliance and
45
00:02:27.509 --> 00:02:31.289
continue to produce thousands of pages of records. And I'll
46
00:02:31.310 --> 00:02:33.969
say this before I turn it over to Representative Mace.
47
00:02:34.490 --> 00:02:38.280
This investigation is made very difficult when witnesses drag out
48
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:41.919
negotiations for more than six months and violate their duly
49
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.860
issued subpoena. So that's one reason when we're dealing with
50
00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:49.490
very powerful people, that have the best attorneys out there,
51
00:02:49.830 --> 00:02:52.050
it's very difficult when it takes six months to get
52
00:02:52.110 --> 00:02:54.849
witnesses in. So I just wanted to mention that. Then
53
00:02:54.870 --> 00:02:57.710
I'll yield to Ms. Mace. So now we have Nancy
54
00:02:57.750 --> 00:03:03.629
Mace asking Hillary Clinton some questions. Question. Thank you, Ms. Chairman.
55
00:03:03.969 --> 00:03:08.349
Madam Secretary, thank you for returning this afternoon. Secretary Clinton,
56
00:03:08.629 --> 00:03:12.379
is your husband someone that the committee should investigate? Answer.
57
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:14.379
My husband will be here tomorrow. You'll have a chance
58
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.479
to ask him. Question. So my question is, Is your
59
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.860
husband someone the committee should investigate? Her lawyer jumps in now,
60
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:27.530
asked and answered, Clinton, apparently you are. You've subpoenaed him.
61
00:03:27.810 --> 00:03:30.930
He's going to be here tomorrow. Question, in your testimony
62
00:03:30.969 --> 00:03:34.229
before the break, you discussed why you believe President Trump
63
00:03:34.550 --> 00:03:37.490
should testify before a committee due to a pattern of behavior.
64
00:03:38.060 --> 00:03:41.759
You testified that a pattern of behavior warrants accountability, so
65
00:03:41.819 --> 00:03:44.539
I want to make sure I understand your standard correctly.
66
00:03:45.349 --> 00:03:50.030
The pattern of behavior you describe includes being held civilly liable, indictments,
67
00:03:50.409 --> 00:03:56.699
sexually deviant behavior, correct? Answer, yes. Question. In 1998, your
68
00:03:56.740 --> 00:03:59.860
husband was found civilly liable for sexual misconduct with Paula
69
00:03:59.900 --> 00:04:05.509
Jones and settled for $ 850, 000. Is that correct? Clinton, yeah. Question.
70
00:04:05.830 --> 00:04:08.409
By your standard of pattern of behavior, should your husband
71
00:04:08.449 --> 00:04:13.879
testify before this committee? Answer, he's testifying tomorrow. Question. On
72
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:18.199
December 19th, 1998, President Clinton was impeached on charges of
73
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:22.310
perjury and obstruction of justice, which directly related to his
74
00:04:22.430 --> 00:04:27.410
extramarital affair with Monica Lewinsky. Is that correct? Answer, yes. Question,
75
00:04:27.730 --> 00:04:32.769
and your husband was impeached for perjury-related sexual behavior, correct? Answer,
76
00:04:33.290 --> 00:04:36.389
I didn't understand what you said. Question, your husband was
77
00:04:36.449 --> 00:04:41.250
impeached for perjury related to his sexual behavior. Answer, he
78
00:04:41.290 --> 00:04:44.230
was impeached for several reasons. and then was acquitted in
79
00:04:44.250 --> 00:04:47.509
the Senate. Question, and your husband flew on Jeffrey Epstein's
80
00:04:47.550 --> 00:04:52.500
plane 17 to 26 times, correct? Answer, he made several
81
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.879
trips with different legs on the trip, as I recall. Question,
82
00:04:55.899 --> 00:05:00.699
but he flew on Jeffrey Epstein's planes 17 to 26 times? Answer, yeah,
83
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.100
he did. Question, were you aware that Secret Service was
84
00:05:04.139 --> 00:05:08.389
dropped on some of those flights? Answer, that's not my understanding. Question,
85
00:05:08.970 --> 00:05:11.250
they were not on some of the flights? Answer, that's
86
00:05:11.269 --> 00:05:15.170
not my understanding. Question, so your understanding is that Secret
87
00:05:15.209 --> 00:05:17.949
Service was on all the flights that President Clinton took
88
00:05:18.589 --> 00:05:22.939
with Epstein? Answer, that's my understanding. Question, by this standard
89
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:27.600
of behavior, multiple credible accusers, including Juanita Broderick, who alleged
90
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.779
rape against your husband, your husband was disbarred in Arkansas,
91
00:05:31.060 --> 00:05:34.160
lost his law license before the Supreme Court, flew on
92
00:05:34.220 --> 00:05:39.160
Epstein's plane dozens of times, visited Epstein's Island, according... Clinton,
93
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.139
that's not true. That's absolutely untrue. Nancy Mace. Well, there's
94
00:05:43.180 --> 00:05:46.379
documentation in the DOJ files. I'm not sure you're aware.
95
00:05:46.699 --> 00:05:49.279
Your attorneys have told you. But Jeffrey Epstein told one
96
00:05:49.300 --> 00:05:51.720
of the victims to lie to investigators to lie that
97
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:55.079
Bill Clinton was ever on Epstein's island. I can provide
98
00:05:55.100 --> 00:05:58.220
the document to your attorneys. The attorney jumps in. We'd
99
00:05:58.259 --> 00:06:00.970
like to see that document, please. Mace, I can do that.
100
00:06:02.889 --> 00:06:06.769
Now the lawyer. Counsel. Because actually the files say just
101
00:06:06.790 --> 00:06:11.170
the opposite. Epstein himself denied that he was on the island. Question. Question.
102
00:06:12.069 --> 00:06:14.430
These are FBI notes from an interview with a victim.
103
00:06:15.089 --> 00:06:16.870
And I can get you the victim number and the
104
00:06:16.889 --> 00:06:19.689
case number in the files. These are notes from a
105
00:06:19.689 --> 00:06:23.910
302 interview. Answer, are you going to provide those now? Answer,
106
00:06:24.290 --> 00:06:26.110
that's not my line of questioning. She brought it up,
107
00:06:26.370 --> 00:06:29.379
but I have the document. Lawyer jumps in. I'm sorry,
108
00:06:29.420 --> 00:06:32.519
you're making a representation as to the facts. Mace cuts
109
00:06:32.540 --> 00:06:36.000
the lawyer off. I didn't enter anything as an exhibit. Lawyer,
110
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:39.649
but it's factually inaccurate. Nancy Mays, no, I can give
111
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:41.779
it to you later. I can go find the document,
112
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:45.959
make copies of it, and give it to you this afternoon. Hey, everybody,
113
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.379
Virginia said she saw Bill Clinton on the island. So
114
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:52.540
do you think Virginia's lying about that? And why would
115
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.459
she lie? She didn't say anything bad about him. She
116
00:06:55.500 --> 00:06:59.389
just said he was on the island. Mace, okay, by
117
00:06:59.430 --> 00:07:02.490
your standard of pattern of behavior, according to documents released
118
00:07:02.529 --> 00:07:06.269
by the DOJ, your husband appears in photos and swimming pools,
119
00:07:06.569 --> 00:07:10.560
hot tubs, aboard Epstein's private plane with unidentified young women.
120
00:07:11.009 --> 00:07:13.240
We came here today, and you told this committee that
121
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:17.920
a pattern of behavior demands accountability, correct? Answer, I said
122
00:07:17.980 --> 00:07:20.639
I believe the committee should call anyone who had a
123
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:24.139
substantial pattern and practice of contact with Jeffrey Epstein and
124
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:27.000
his crimes before they came to light. Question, and does
125
00:07:27.019 --> 00:07:30.209
that include your husband? Answer, and after they came to light.
126
00:07:30.889 --> 00:07:33.970
You're going to have a chance to question him tomorrow. Mace,
127
00:07:34.449 --> 00:07:37.430
so I'll ask you again. By the standard you just
128
00:07:37.470 --> 00:07:40.550
said in your
own words just now, does that standard
129
00:07:40.589 --> 00:07:44.829
apply equally to your husband or only to President Trump? Answer,
130
00:07:44.980 --> 00:07:47.800
I've said that my husband has been subpoenaed. He'll appear.
131
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.240
He'll answer your questions to the best of his ability.
132
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.379
But there is no evidence whatsoever of any connection with
133
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.740
Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. And I think that will obviously be
134
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:59.939
apparent in the questioning. Well, let's slow down on that.
135
00:08:00.180 --> 00:08:03.300
What about financial crimes? If Jeffrey Epstein was running a
136
00:08:03.339 --> 00:08:06.129
criminal enterprise and Bill Clinton got any money from him,
137
00:08:06.829 --> 00:08:10.490
that might be an issue. Question. What makes you so
138
00:08:10.529 --> 00:08:12.930
sure of that then? I mean, he's photographed with criminals.
139
00:08:14.110 --> 00:08:17.129
Lawyer jumps in. Objection. You're asking her to speculate on
140
00:08:17.170 --> 00:08:21.810
something that's not in evidence. Answer by Clinton. It's so speculative.
141
00:08:22.189 --> 00:08:24.360
I mean, swimming in a pool, sitting in a hot tub.
142
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.560
There are millions of people who do that without any
143
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.310
improper behavior. or is certainly committing any crimes. Mace, do
144
00:08:31.350 --> 00:08:33.470
you think that most of the men are like your
145
00:08:33.509 --> 00:08:37.889
husband that did anything wrong by where they're being surrounded
146
00:08:37.929 --> 00:08:40.990
by young women giving them massages on Epstein's private estate
147
00:08:41.269 --> 00:08:45.830
or private planes? Are they all innocent then? Answer, you're
148
00:08:45.850 --> 00:08:49.250
making assumptions in your questions that have not been proven
149
00:08:49.509 --> 00:08:52.850
and I don't believe are provable. Question, okay, why did
150
00:08:52.870 --> 00:08:55.110
you wait six months to have this hearing today or
151
00:08:55.149 --> 00:08:58.519
have this testimony? Answer, I've answered that. I thought that
152
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.279
given the way the other witnesses who were subpoenaed at
153
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.440
the same time were being treated, that there was an
154
00:09:03.500 --> 00:09:06.720
unfair treatment of both my husband and myself. I thought
155
00:09:06.740 --> 00:09:10.350
that especially from my perspective. I had very little, if any,
156
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:12.710
information to provide you and that I could have done
157
00:09:12.750 --> 00:09:14.929
it in a sworn statement and you could have moved
158
00:09:15.049 --> 00:09:18.049
on to depose somebody else who might have more information
159
00:09:18.350 --> 00:09:22.009
that would be beneficial to your investigation. Nancy Mace, I
160
00:09:22.049 --> 00:09:24.269
have two more questions. Then we're going
to pass it
161
00:09:24.309 --> 00:09:27.980
to Congresswoman Luna. After Jeffrey Epstein was convicted, did it
162
00:09:28.019 --> 00:09:30.700
concern you at all that he'd taken a substantial amount
163
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.059
of money from Jeffrey Epstein? Answer, that's an inappropriate assumption.
164
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:38.259
I did not take a substantial amount of money from Epstein.
165
00:09:38.539 --> 00:09:41.389
So as far as I know, Jeffrey Epstein contributed to
166
00:09:41.429 --> 00:09:44.809
the joint committee that was supporting my Senate race. Question,
167
00:09:44.870 --> 00:09:49.330
which was how much? Answer, I believe $ 20, 000. Question, and
168
00:09:49.370 --> 00:09:53.309
you don't consider $ 20, 000 substantial? Answer, I do not consider
169
00:09:53.350 --> 00:09:56.240
it relevant to me. because I have no recollection that
170
00:09:56.259 --> 00:09:58.269
I ever knew that he gave any money to the
171
00:09:58.289 --> 00:10:01.820
Joint Committee. Nancy May. so you didn't talk to your
172
00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:05.879
donors that gave 20,000 to your campaign? Answer, my understanding
173
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:07.840
of the rules back then is that there was no
174
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.299
coordination between the committee and my campaign. So no, I
175
00:10:11.340 --> 00:10:14.700
have no recollection of knowing that. Question, but that doesn't
176
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:17.299
mean you can't speak to your donors. That doesn't prohibit,
177
00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:21.870
the law doesn't prohibit you speaking to your donors. Answer,
178
00:10:21.950 --> 00:10:23.710
but I didn't know he was a donor. As far
179
00:10:23.750 --> 00:10:26.009
as I knew, he was not a donor until I
180
00:10:26.049 --> 00:10:29.580
learned that in preparation for this testimony. Question, did it
181
00:10:29.620 --> 00:10:32.200
concern you at all that Maxwell was heavily involved with
182
00:10:32.220 --> 00:10:35.500
people that you knew and were close to? Answer, I
183
00:10:35.539 --> 00:10:38.399
knew people that knew her. Yes, that's true. Question, and
184
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:40.639
you just shrugged. You didn't want to look into it
185
00:10:40.899 --> 00:10:43.620
or have any questions about it? Answer, until her crimes
186
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.299
were revealed and she was indicted and tried and convicted,
187
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.620
I don't think people knew very much about at all
188
00:10:48.830 --> 00:10:52.269
what she was doing. Question, And then, how do you
189
00:10:52.289 --> 00:10:55.779
know Howard Lutnick? Answer, I know Howard Lutnick because when
190
00:10:55.820 --> 00:10:58.320
I was a senator on 9-11, the firm he headed,
191
00:10:58.379 --> 00:11:02.120
Kenner Fitzgerald, suffered the greatest loss of life. As I recall,
192
00:11:02.139 --> 00:11:05.720
something like 650 of his employees were murdered by terrorists
193
00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:08.980
that day. Howard Lutnick missed being a victim because he
194
00:11:09.019 --> 00:11:13.139
was delayed dropping his child off at kindergarten. Nancy Mace,
195
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:17.220
I know that. I asked how you knew him. Lawyer
196
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.659
jumps in, you ask the question, let her finish. Clinton,
197
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:23.720
You asked a question. I'm going to answer your question. Mace,
198
00:11:24.100 --> 00:11:27.960
now you're going to yell at me? Clinton, this was
199
00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:31.279
what I spent my time doing. I spent. Mace jumps in.
200
00:11:31.539 --> 00:11:33.759
You're going to yell at me? I'm a survivor trying
201
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.379
to look out for other survivors trying to take care
202
00:11:36.419 --> 00:11:39.090
of one another. Clinton, and I was taking care of
203
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:42.070
people who lost 3,000 lives at the World Trade Center.
204
00:11:42.909 --> 00:11:45.289
Nancy Mace, I waited six months to get here today.
205
00:11:45.590 --> 00:11:50.120
Six months, and now you're being defiant and indignant today? Clinton,
206
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:53.200
you asked me about Howard Lutnick. Mace, I have now.
207
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:57.179
Epstein survivors, I'm a survivor myself. You have emails you've
208
00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:59.460
denied that you've tried to get Jeffrey Epstein to give
209
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.519
you money. She gets cut off by Clinton. I did not.
210
00:12:02.820 --> 00:12:06.730
Now Clinton's cut off by Mace. But Howard Lutnick was
211
00:12:06.850 --> 00:12:09.450
used to get money. Cut off by Clinton. If you
212
00:12:09.470 --> 00:12:12.250
have an email with me asking Epstein for money. Mace,
213
00:12:12.610 --> 00:12:14.549
I have an email from Howard Lutnick sending it to
214
00:12:14.590 --> 00:12:19.549
Jeffrey Epstein. Lawyer jumps in. What was the question? Mace,
215
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.879
and his people to raise money for you, for an event,
216
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:28.539
an intimate event, for you at his office at Cantor Fitzgerald. Clinton,
217
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:30.820
if you let me finish, Mace cuts her off again,
218
00:12:31.580 --> 00:12:33.990
and Officegate, and say to this committee you didn't try
219
00:12:34.009 --> 00:12:37.850
to get money from Epstein. Clinton, I didn't. Mace, well,
220
00:12:37.889 --> 00:12:40.429
there's an intimate event in an email that Howard Lutnick
221
00:12:40.549 --> 00:12:43.590
emailed to Epstein's people, and Epstein to get him to
222
00:12:43.629 --> 00:12:46.860
come to your intimate event at Cantor Fitzgerald, a very
223
00:12:46.899 --> 00:12:49.240
small event, and so I'm not going to put up
224
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:51.509
with it, If you want to yell at me, that's fine,
225
00:12:51.730 --> 00:12:54.820
but I'll yell back, okay? I'm looking out for survivors.
226
00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:58.679
I'm doing the job that you refused to do as
227
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:02.019
Secretary of State. Thank you, and I yield back to
228
00:13:02.059 --> 00:13:04.980
Congresswoman Luna. All right, folks, we're going to wrap up
229
00:13:05.019 --> 00:13:07.440
right there, and in the next episode dealing with the topic,
230
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:10.450
we'll pick up where we left off. All the information
231
00:13:10.470 --> 00:13:13.110
that goes with this episode can be found... in the
232
00:13:13.149 --> 00:13:16.769
description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode
233
00:13:17.230 --> 00:13:19.850
of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to
234
00:13:19.870 --> 00:13:22.340
pick up where we left off with the Hillary Clinton
235
00:13:22.860 --> 00:13:26.399
transcript from her trip to Congress. Clinton, no, I'm going
236
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.460
to finish answering the question, which I have a right
237
00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:31.960
to do. I am very sympathetic to your personal situation.
238
00:13:32.179 --> 00:13:34.580
I've read about it. I've seen you testify or speak
239
00:13:34.620 --> 00:13:36.899
on the floor about it. And I very much sympathize
240
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:40.139
with not only what you went through, but appreciate your
241
00:13:40.179 --> 00:13:42.990
effort to stand up for survivors. I was a senator
242
00:13:43.049 --> 00:13:46.700
representing the people who were murdered on 9-11. Nobody lost
243
00:13:46.740 --> 00:13:49.320
more people than Howard Ludnick. You can say whatever you want.
244
00:13:49.539 --> 00:13:51.980
You can call them and have them appear before the committee.
245
00:13:53.500 --> 00:13:55.940
But I knew him as the man who lost employees
246
00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:00.490
that he knew intimately, including his brother, Nancy Mace, and
247
00:14:00.500 --> 00:14:03.210
he was a go-between between you and Jeffrey Epstein raising
248
00:14:03.250 --> 00:14:06.830
money for you. Clinton's lawyer jumps in. Let her finish
249
00:14:07.049 --> 00:14:10.460
your answer, please. Let her finish your answer. Hillary Clinton,
250
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:12.500
you know what? If you don't want to hear what
251
00:14:12.539 --> 00:14:15.740
emotionally affected me, that's fine. But that's why I know
252
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:19.679
Howard Lutnick. I went to the memorial service every 9-11
253
00:14:19.860 --> 00:14:22.779
after the formal service was held with all of his
254
00:14:22.820 --> 00:14:26.980
people and his families. Nancy Mace, he was a go-between
255
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:32.340
for you and Jeffrey Epstein, even raising money for your campaign. Clinton, well,
256
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:35.419
Howard Lutnick and I did work together. Nancy Mace, thank you.
257
00:14:35.779 --> 00:14:38.279
I will now yield to you, Congresswoman Luna. Thank you.
258
00:14:38.889 --> 00:14:41.649
Clinton finishes, because we have a lot of victims that
259
00:14:41.690 --> 00:14:44.110
take care, to take care of, and we work together
260
00:14:44.129 --> 00:14:47.149
to rebuild downtown Manhattan. That's how I know Howard Lutnick.
261
00:14:49.250 --> 00:14:52.269
Chairman Comer jumps in. Why don't you move here? Want
262
00:14:52.309 --> 00:14:55.389
to get over here? Anna Paulina Luna, fine, I'll do
263
00:14:55.429 --> 00:15:01.799
the heavy lifting per usual. Paulina Luna, okay, am I good? Okay,
264
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:07.580
Secretary Clinton, thank you for being here today. Clinton, thank you, Congresswoman. Question.
265
00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:10.980
President Clinton has stated that he severed ties with Epstein
266
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:15.279
around 2005 prior to the 2008 conviction. Were you involved
267
00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:19.470
or informed of any communication, email, calls, or meetings related
268
00:15:19.500 --> 00:15:22.870
to distancing the foundation and or your family after those
269
00:15:22.870 --> 00:15:27.129
2008 convictions? Answer. I was not. Question. You had mentioned
270
00:15:27.409 --> 00:15:30.570
that this committee had avoided calling people to testify who
271
00:15:30.590 --> 00:15:32.629
should be sitting here. I would like to show you
272
00:15:32.669 --> 00:15:35.570
some emails. If the staff could please pass out to
273
00:15:35.610 --> 00:15:45.149
the members of And the Secretary, EFTA 00878421 and EFTA 00705860, please,
274
00:15:45.490 --> 00:15:48.169
so she can see it. This will be Exhibit 14
275
00:15:48.169 --> 00:15:53.450
and 15 for the majority. Question, and I'll wait for
276
00:15:53.490 --> 00:15:55.789
you to get them so you can see them. Clinton,
277
00:15:55.830 --> 00:16:00.669
thank you. Speaker jumps in, unnamed speaker. Thank you very much,
278
00:16:00.750 --> 00:16:04.460
thank you very much. Are these two separate? Paulina Luna, yes.
279
00:16:04.950 --> 00:16:07.190
Question by the lawyer. Thank you. And I'm going to
280
00:16:07.230 --> 00:16:10.070
pass them down because I have more for my colleagues. Yep,
281
00:16:10.269 --> 00:16:13.649
one more here. Question. They're the same. There's two documents there.
282
00:16:14.250 --> 00:16:17.509
Paulina Luna. Yeah, there are two emails. Both different EFTAs.
283
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:24.740
Secretary Clinton. Would you please read EFTA 00705860? You don't
284
00:16:24.779 --> 00:16:27.419
have to read from. It's to Jeffrey Epstein. But you
285
00:16:27.460 --> 00:16:32.330
could read the context of the email. Unnamed speaker jumps in. Sorry,
286
00:16:32.370 --> 00:16:34.289
could you state that number again? Is the number at
287
00:16:34.309 --> 00:16:39.110
the bottom? Paulina Luna, yeah, it's at the bottom. It's
288
00:16:39.370 --> 00:16:46.320
EFTA 00705860. Speaker, this is Majority 14. Other speaker jumps in,
289
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:49.759
and these are all unnamed people. 14, yes, sir. Clinton,
290
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:52.659
thank you for a fun night. Your littlest girl was
291
00:16:52.740 --> 00:16:57.039
a little naughty. Paulina Luna, how does that make
you feel? Clinton,
292
00:16:57.299 --> 00:17:03.190
it makes me sick. Question, if you can read. The
293
00:17:03.350 --> 00:17:06.589
EFTA 00878421. This is also another email. Can you please
294
00:17:06.630 --> 00:17:09.569
just provide the context? It's an email to Jeffrey Epstein.
295
00:17:09.859 --> 00:17:12.779
If you could just read the context of what it is. Clinton,
296
00:17:12.900 --> 00:17:19.799
of course. The OH Jesus. Ohio Jesus. Oh Jesus. Paulina Luna.
297
00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:22.000
And just the main body and context of the email.
298
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:26.029
Hillary Clinton. Oh. Said that she felt God's presence next
299
00:17:26.069 --> 00:17:28.630
to her when she was in bed. She knows that
300
00:17:28.670 --> 00:17:33.000
Jesus watches over her and he helped save her life. Question,
301
00:17:33.259 --> 00:17:36.619
how does that make you feel? Answer, it's bizarre. I
302
00:17:36.660 --> 00:17:39.299
don't know what it means. Question, the reason that I
303
00:17:39.380 --> 00:17:41.529
asked you to read both of these is because these
304
00:17:41.619 --> 00:17:44.990
emails were both sent by co-conspirators that were then given
305
00:17:45.029 --> 00:17:47.609
the plea deals and now have been given victim status.
306
00:17:48.170 --> 00:17:50.730
Both of these women were also named on an FBI
307
00:17:50.769 --> 00:17:53.410
document and they're on a number of other emails. Do
308
00:17:53.430 --> 00:17:56.109
you believe that the Department of Justice should reevaluate the
309
00:17:56.130 --> 00:17:59.170
plea deals for some of these women? Given that, as
310
00:17:59.210 --> 00:18:02.140
you can see, they have clearly done some things, probably
311
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:05.710
that they shouldn't have? Answer, I don't know the status
312
00:18:05.769 --> 00:18:07.950
of whether that would be legally possible, so I have
313
00:18:07.990 --> 00:18:11.509
no opinion. Question, I think outside the statute of limitations,
314
00:18:11.789 --> 00:18:14.869
they might be able to reinvestigate under the civil rights violations.
315
00:18:15.329 --> 00:18:17.710
Would you be in favor of that, or looking into
316
00:18:17.789 --> 00:18:20.950
any of the co-conspirators that were given plea deals down
317
00:18:20.990 --> 00:18:23.589
to victim status if they're credible evidence that they were
318
00:18:23.630 --> 00:18:27.470
trafficking young girls? And look, I get what Luna's saying here,
319
00:18:27.509 --> 00:18:29.130
and I agree, as you all know, get rid of
320
00:18:29.150 --> 00:18:32.390
the NPA. But shouldn't she be pushing for people like
321
00:18:32.430 --> 00:18:36.390
Leon Black to face the same kind of criticism? Answer.
322
00:18:36.690 --> 00:18:39.559
I think it should be pursued. Question. Okay, hold on.
323
00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:42.619
I'd like to also show you another EFTA. If the
324
00:18:42.660 --> 00:18:46.279
staff can also pass this to the secretary. It's EFTA 016-56-217.
325
00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:48.720
And this would be Exhibit 16 for the majority. Question.
326
00:18:55.069 --> 00:18:57.930
And I'd also like to reflect on those previous EVFTAs.
327
00:18:58.309 --> 00:19:04.079
The EFTA 00705860, that was actually sent by a woman
328
00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:08.700
by the name of Susan Hamlin. And then the other
329
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:13.400
EFTA 00878421 was sent by a woman named Nadia, who's
330
00:19:13.460 --> 00:19:17.799
also listed in other files as well. Answer, is this
331
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:24.390
single pages? Question, yes it is. Answer, oh sorry. Question,
332
00:19:24.430 --> 00:19:27.549
Secretary Clinton. This was actually added in an FBI briefing
333
00:19:27.569 --> 00:19:30.430
document when Epstein was in his New York trial. If
334
00:19:30.470 --> 00:19:33.150
you can look at the top left, the individual photo,
335
00:19:33.269 --> 00:19:36.730
who is that individual? Answer, I can't tell. It's a
336
00:19:36.769 --> 00:19:40.089
small blurry picture. Question, okay, for those who want to
337
00:19:40.109 --> 00:19:43.569
pull up the file, the photo of Jeffrey Epstein, this
338
00:19:43.609 --> 00:19:46.569
is actually a passport that was given. The individual's name
339
00:19:47.009 --> 00:19:52.200
is Marcus Robert Fortinelli. Do you think that this is
340
00:19:52.259 --> 00:19:57.490
a sign or a telltale sign of intelligence operation and pseudonames? Clinton,
341
00:19:57.569 --> 00:20:00.930
I can't speculate. I don't know. Question, okay, victims have
342
00:20:00.970 --> 00:20:04.190
stated to this committee, both Democrats and Republicans, that during
343
00:20:04.250 --> 00:20:07.880
Epstein's time, during his day camp, is what I'll call it,
344
00:20:08.859 --> 00:20:12.359
that he was also in active communication with Bush's CIA director.
345
00:20:12.740 --> 00:20:15.779
They also stated that he had an active ties to Russia, Israel,
346
00:20:15.819 --> 00:20:19.329
and Iran. Given your status, not just as First Lady,
347
00:20:19.690 --> 00:20:22.589
but also in your secretary position, have you ever been
348
00:20:22.630 --> 00:20:25.069
targeted by any of these countries as means of a
349
00:20:25.130 --> 00:20:31.319
foreign intelligence gathering operation? Are you aware of potential vulnerabilities? Answer, yeah,
350
00:20:31.579 --> 00:20:34.960
I was targeted by Russia in the 2016 campaign. I mean,
351
00:20:35.259 --> 00:20:38.180
I think that's pretty well known. Paulina Luna. And what
352
00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:42.150
about Israel or Iran? Answer. I don't know about either
353
00:20:42.230 --> 00:20:45.450
Israel or Iran. Question. Okay. Do you believe that Epstein
354
00:20:45.470 --> 00:20:49.710
was running potentially a honeypot operation with intelligence gathering operations
355
00:20:49.769 --> 00:20:53.799
to collect information on high profile individuals, both Democrat and
356
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:57.140
Republican of the United States in an effort to
sway
357
00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:01.440
our foreign policy? Is it possible? Answer. I have no
358
00:21:01.460 --> 00:21:03.759
direct knowledge, but I think it's one of the areas
359
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:08.480
your committee should investigate. Question, do you think it's possible? Answer, well,
360
00:21:08.539 --> 00:21:11.019
I certainly think it's possible. It's a tried and true
361
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:15.049
technique of certain intelligence agencies. Question, do you believe that
362
00:21:15.089 --> 00:21:19.089
he was using honeypots in an effort to inaudible? Answer,
363
00:21:19.130 --> 00:21:22.450
I can't speculate. I don't know. Question, okay. And the
364
00:21:22.490 --> 00:21:26.160
topic of transparency, Secretary, were you ever denied access or
365
00:21:26.220 --> 00:21:29.380
did you ever inquire on the topic of UAP or
366
00:21:29.420 --> 00:21:33.799
Gilgamesh in your official personal capacity and why? Answer, I
367
00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:36.420
was never denied access because I never asked for access.
368
00:21:37.019 --> 00:21:40.150
Question okay. And in the efforts of having a transparent
369
00:21:40.190 --> 00:21:43.589
government and restoring faith within our country, do you believe
370
00:21:43.609 --> 00:21:46.049
that the American people deserve to access to those topics?
371
00:21:46.589 --> 00:21:50.279
Answer I do. Subject to any national security implication, I
372
00:21:50.299 --> 00:21:53.039
think the information should be made available. I think that's
373
00:21:53.059 --> 00:21:55.559
been ordered, or at least I read that that's been ordered.
374
00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:59.420
Question and lastly, before I yield my time, Chairman Comer.
375
00:21:59.779 --> 00:22:02.119
Do you believe that you were personally a target of
376
00:22:02.140 --> 00:22:06.880
an intelligence gathering operation specifically pertaining to Glenn Maxwell or
377
00:22:06.940 --> 00:22:09.819
Jeffrey Epstein? Answer. I have no reason to believe that.
378
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:14.819
I don't have any information. Question. Okay. Thank you, Chairman.
379
00:22:15.099 --> 00:22:18.500
I yield my time. Chairman Comer. Thank you. Representative Fallon.
380
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:23.539
Now we have Pat Fallon, who's a representative for the
381
00:22:23.579 --> 00:22:30.180
Republicans asking the questions. Okay. All right. Good. I'm Pat Fallon,
382
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:36.440
4th District of Texas. Clinton, Pat Fallon, okay. Question. Native
383
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:38.880
of Massachusetts, but no one would ever vote for me there.
384
00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:41.809
I moved to Texas, so ma'am, I'm a pretty simple guy.
385
00:22:42.329 --> 00:22:43.980
I just want to keep things simple and just ask
386
00:22:44.029 --> 00:22:47.470
you some questions and give you a chance to respond. So,
387
00:22:47.710 --> 00:22:52.990
July 25th. An unanimous oversight subcommittee voted to subpoena yourself
388
00:22:53.430 --> 00:22:57.069
and your husband. And on the 25th of August, Chairman Comer...
389
00:22:57.190 --> 00:22:59.730
issued a lawful subpoena, which I would think it's fair
390
00:22:59.750 --> 00:23:03.220
to say you didn't cooperate. There was a lot of delays.
391
00:23:03.500 --> 00:23:06.559
It was August. We're now in February. The deposition was
392
00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:09.500
set in December. Then it was delayed and moved to January.
393
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:13.079
And now we're here in February. We all get accused
394
00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:15.289
of things. The higher you go up the ladder, the
395
00:23:15.309 --> 00:23:17.890
more people are accused of. If I don't have anything
396
00:23:17.910 --> 00:23:20.509
to hide, I'm eager to come in and testify. I
397
00:23:20.549 --> 00:23:24.640
just find that interesting. Why the delay for six months? Answer, Well,
398
00:23:24.900 --> 00:23:27.480
I think as I've said, we negotiated in good faith.
399
00:23:27.940 --> 00:23:30.440
And I believe the committee negotiated in good faith for
400
00:23:30.460 --> 00:23:32.730
a while because we thought at least I'll speak for
401
00:23:32.769 --> 00:23:36.849
myself that I could provide whatever information I had, which
402
00:23:36.890 --> 00:23:39.269
was not much in the same form that you accepted
403
00:23:39.309 --> 00:23:42.690
it from former attorneys general and FBI directors who had
404
00:23:42.730 --> 00:23:45.210
much more direct knowledge or could have had much more
405
00:23:45.259 --> 00:23:48.839
direct knowledge about the investigation you were conducting. and I
406
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:51.539
found it bewildering that I couldn't provide what I knew
407
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:54.660
in writing under penalty of perjury as others had done.
408
00:23:55.920 --> 00:23:58.640
Question okay, and I'd say better late than never, so
409
00:23:58.660 --> 00:24:03.210
I'm glad you're here. In September of 22, ABC program
410
00:24:03.230 --> 00:24:05.089
The View had you on as the guest, and you
411
00:24:05.109 --> 00:24:07.470
were quoted as saying, no one is above the law.
412
00:24:07.930 --> 00:24:11.930
Do you still agree with that? Answer, I agree with that. Question,
413
00:24:12.369 --> 00:24:14.809
as do I, and I think Senator Clinton, that's why
414
00:24:14.829 --> 00:24:19.079
you're here. Answer, I absolutely agree with that. Question, when
415
00:24:19.099 --> 00:24:21.859
did you first meet Jeffrey Epstein? Answer, I never met
416
00:24:21.900 --> 00:24:25.369
Jeffrey Epstein. Question, you never met? Okay. When did you
417
00:24:25.380 --> 00:24:28.670
first meet Ghislaine Maxwell? Answer, I have no recollection of
418
00:24:28.710 --> 00:24:31.109
when I first met her. Question, so you might have
419
00:24:31.130 --> 00:24:34.789
met her, but you don't remember? Answer, I do not. Question, okay,
420
00:24:34.849 --> 00:24:38.750
so obviously. Describe your relationship as pretty much non-existent with
421
00:24:38.789 --> 00:24:42.029
both of them then. Answer, yeah. I had at least
422
00:24:42.069 --> 00:24:45.670
casual acquaintance with her. I had nothing with him. Question, okay.
423
00:24:46.049 --> 00:24:51.509
Would you describe your husband's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein as limited, cordial, close? Answer,
424
00:24:51.950 --> 00:24:54.529
limited for a limited period of time with respect to
425
00:24:54.609 --> 00:24:58.250
using his airplane. Question, okay. And how about your husband's
426
00:24:58.309 --> 00:25:02.349
relationship with Ms. Maxwell? Answer, I think they knew each
427
00:25:02.390 --> 00:25:05.549
other for a longer period of time. Question, okay. So
428
00:25:05.569 --> 00:25:09.410
for the record, in 1992, Epstein donated a grand to
429
00:25:09.450 --> 00:25:13.170
your husband's presidential campaign in 93, 10 grand to the
430
00:25:13.210 --> 00:25:16.420
White House, historical association while you were in the White
431
00:25:16.460 --> 00:25:19.460
House and your husband were. And then he visited the
432
00:25:19.500 --> 00:25:22.420
White House, as I've said, I think ad nauseum 17
433
00:25:22.420 --> 00:25:28.250
times from 93 to 95. And then in 99, a $ 20, 000
434
00:25:27.609 --> 00:25:31.769
donation to the Senate campaign or an affiliate allied campaign.
435
00:25:32.109 --> 00:25:35.349
And then in 2006, 25 grand to the Clinton Foundation.
436
00:25:35.910 --> 00:25:39.089
And then post-Clinton presidency, your husband was on the plane
437
00:25:39.170 --> 00:25:42.970
somewhere in the neighborhood of 26 times, right? Answer, I
438
00:25:43.009 --> 00:25:45.230
can't vouch for everything you're going to say. I can't
439
00:25:45.250 --> 00:25:49.309
vouch for. Question, all right, but you're not disputing it. Answer, no,
440
00:25:49.349 --> 00:25:51.460
I'm not accepting it, but I can't vouch for it.
441
00:25:51.539 --> 00:25:55.900
I can't respond to it. Question, okay, all right, in 2008,
442
00:25:55.900 --> 00:25:59.319
Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of two felony counts, correct? Answer,
443
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:03.279
were they felonies? I don't recall. Question, they were federal felonies, yeah. Answer,
444
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:09.710
were they felonies? Lawyer jumps in, state felonies. Hillary, state felonies, okay. Fallon,
445
00:26:10.049 --> 00:26:12.690
Felonies nonetheless. Okay, so just bear with me on this,
446
00:26:12.769 --> 00:26:16.750
because again, give you a chance to respond. Your husband
447
00:26:16.809 --> 00:26:20.059
ran for governor five times. The last time, in 1990,
448
00:26:20.059 --> 00:26:22.259
or 86, I think he almost got a half a
449
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.039
million votes. In 92, he got 45 million votes, 47
450
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:30.319
million in 96. When you ran in 2008, you got
451
00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:33.940
nearly 20 million in the primary. And he was governor,
452
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:37.450
you were senator, secretary of state, he was president. You've
453
00:26:37.470 --> 00:26:40.680
met hundreds of thousands of people, probably, way more than
454
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:43.799
the average typical person would. And my point here is,
455
00:26:44.180 --> 00:26:46.980
all these millions of people that supported you and your husband,
456
00:26:47.380 --> 00:26:50.670
hundreds of thousands that you met, in 2010, one of
457
00:26:50.710 --> 00:26:53.329
the most significant events of your life is going to
458
00:26:53.369 --> 00:26:56.990
be your daughter's, your only daughter's wedding. You have 500
459
00:26:56.990 --> 00:27:00.430
wedding guests from all reports. That means there's a groom involved,
460
00:27:00.670 --> 00:27:04.509
so you're distilling down to 250. Only 250 people can attend.
461
00:27:05.369 --> 00:27:08.190
And it's your testimony that, how did Ms. Maxwell end
462
00:27:08.230 --> 00:27:10.849
up at the wedding? Clinton, she was a guest at
463
00:27:10.869 --> 00:27:14.589
Ted Way, who was a longtime family friend. Question, so
464
00:27:14.970 --> 00:27:16.970
it was just an odd coincidence that she was at
465
00:27:17.029 --> 00:27:19.130
one of the most? Oh, I mean, that's fine. If
466
00:27:19.170 --> 00:27:23.240
that's your testimony, that's your testimony. Clinton, I was not
467
00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:27.019
telling my dates who their guests could, or my guests
468
00:27:27.059 --> 00:27:31.460
who their dates could be. Question, it's just an odd coincidence. Okay, see?
469
00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:34.940
Would you describe your husband as a smart guy? Speaker
470
00:27:34.940 --> 00:27:37.349
4 jumps in. Excuse me? Are you asking her to
471
00:27:37.390 --> 00:27:41.589
testify about her husband? Pat Fallon, I'm not. Question, because
472
00:27:41.609 --> 00:27:43.470
he's going to be here tomorrow, so you can ask
473
00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:46.140
questions to the witness that are for her. But it
474
00:27:46.180 --> 00:27:48.819
seems to me that you're asking questions that are, require,
475
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:52.619
an opinion. Fallon, how long have you been married? Can
476
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:55.380
I ask that? Answer, oh, I do have an answer
477
00:27:55.420 --> 00:27:58.480
for that. 50 years. Question, he's a pretty smart guy
478
00:27:58.519 --> 00:28:01.380
by all accounts. Would you agree with that? Highly intelligent.
479
00:28:01.539 --> 00:28:03.240
I think he is. I didn't vote for him, but
480
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:06.369
I think he is. We can agree on that, right?
481
00:28:06.529 --> 00:28:09.589
I mean, I don't think that's controversial, counselor, because everybody
482
00:28:09.630 --> 00:28:12.490
that I've ever met that has met your husband and
483
00:28:12.549 --> 00:28:15.470
has first-hand experience describes him as the smartest guy in
484
00:28:15.490 --> 00:28:19.289
the room when you're in the room. Very smart. Scary recall.
485
00:28:19.829 --> 00:28:22.410
If he meets you 20 years later, he remembers what
486
00:28:22.430 -->
00:28:25.509
you wore, what they were saying, which is a great
487
00:28:25.549 --> 00:28:28.369
tool and asset when you're a politician. So this is
488
00:28:28.410 --> 00:28:30.470
great recall. I'm sure it served him well in his
489
00:28:30.509 --> 00:28:33.769
political career. So given, I just find it surprising that
490
00:28:34.009 --> 00:28:36.349
that in January 26, he all sent a joint letter
491
00:28:36.630 --> 00:28:39.490
from you and him, where you asserted that he, he quote,
492
00:28:39.950 --> 00:28:43.339
didn't recall encountering Mr. Epstein or any specific interactions with
493
00:28:43.390 --> 00:28:48.079
him while in office. Hillary Clinton, that was his recollection. Question, okay,
494
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:49.940
but even though we established that he was in the
495
00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:53.400
White House, Epstein, I'm talking about 17 times, and there's
496
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:56.599
a public report that there were personal tours given, not
497
00:28:56.660 --> 00:28:59.160
only in the White House, but even the residence, and
498
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:01.960
somebody that smart just happened to not remember any of it.
499
00:29:03.750 --> 00:29:06.589
Lawyer jumps in. This witness can answer questions about her
500
00:29:06.630 --> 00:29:09.630
own declaration about what she recalls are new. Again, the
501
00:29:10.089 --> 00:29:13.069
president is going to be here tomorrow. All right, folks,
502
00:29:13.089 --> 00:29:14.650
we're going to wrap up right here. And in the
503
00:29:14.690 --> 00:29:16.589
next episode, we're going to pick up with Pat Fallon
504
00:29:17.170 --> 00:29:20.509
asking questions. All the information that goes with this episode
505
00:29:20.569 --> 00:29:23.670
can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone?
506
00:29:23.769 --> 00:29:27.740
And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In
507
00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:30.119
this episode, we're picking up where we left off with
508
00:29:30.140 --> 00:29:36.339
the Hillary Clinton transcript from her conversation with Congress. Question, okay,
509
00:29:36.900 --> 00:29:38.890
but even though we've established that he was in the
510
00:29:38.910 --> 00:29:41.900
White House, Epstein, I'm talking about... about 17 times, and
511
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:44.900
there's a public report that there were personal tours given,
512
00:29:45.259 --> 00:29:47.220
not only in the White House, but even the residence,
513
00:29:47.769 --> 00:29:50.309
and somebody that smart just happened not to remember any
514
00:29:50.369 --> 00:29:52.990
of it. Lawyer for Clinton jumps in. This witness can
515
00:29:53.049 --> 00:29:55.670
answer the question about her own declaration about what she
516
00:29:55.730 --> 00:29:58.359
recalls are new. Again, the president is going to be
517
00:29:58.380 --> 00:30:02.059
here tomorrow. question all right well your client talked about
518
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:05.779
patterns in practice and Bill Clinton her husband said that
519
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:08.480
he doesn't remember meeting Epstein during his time in office
520
00:30:08.779 --> 00:30:11.819
took trips with him on his plane to New York
521
00:30:12.180 --> 00:30:17.289
England Japan China Singapore Bangkok Brunei Rwanda Mozambique South Africa
522
00:30:17.329 --> 00:30:20.769
France Norway and many more so it's really not a
523
00:30:20.809 --> 00:30:23.849
question of where they went together but where they didn't
524
00:30:23.869 --> 00:30:28.990
go together do you know how the colloquial name for St.
525
00:30:29.029 --> 00:30:34.039
James Island Clinton, no. Question? It's Epstein Island, okay? I'll
526
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:36.630
refer to it in both contexts. To your knowledge, did
527
00:30:36.670 --> 00:30:39.829
your husband ever visit Little St. James? Answer, not to
528
00:30:39.869 --> 00:30:43.650
my knowledge. Question? Okay, do you know who Doug Band is? Answer,
529
00:30:43.690 --> 00:30:46.650
he worked for my husband for years. Question, so by
530
00:30:46.710 --> 00:30:49.019
reports on the press, he was a key architect of
531
00:30:49.059 --> 00:30:52.180
the Bill Clinton post-presidency, a top aide, the body man,
532
00:30:52.220 --> 00:30:55.359
the fixer, counselor, and close advisor. Would you disagree with
533
00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:58.160
any of those? Answer, he worked for him in a
534
00:30:58.200 --> 00:31:03.670
number of capacities. Question, about 10 years? 02 to 2012,
535
00:31:03.670 --> 00:31:05.890
I think it was. Answer, he worked for him, I
536
00:31:05.910 --> 00:31:09.849
don't know. Question, fair to say? Give or take a decade? Okay.
537
00:31:10.150 --> 00:31:12.490
He's on the record as asserting that Mr. Clinton did
538
00:31:12.529 --> 00:31:16.890
indeed visit Epstein's Island. Do you think he's lying? Answer, yes. Question,
539
00:31:16.950 --> 00:31:19.119
why would he lie? Answer, I don't know, you'd have
540
00:31:19.140 --> 00:31:22.759
to ask him. Question, okay. Then you know Virginia? Have
541
00:31:22.779 --> 00:31:24.779
you heard of Virginia? I'm sure you didn't meet her,
542
00:31:25.019 --> 00:31:28.299
but have you heard of Virginia? Answer, I've heard about
543
00:31:28.339 --> 00:31:30.690
her in press coverage. Answer, I didn't meet her either.
544
00:31:30.950 --> 00:31:34.009
She was a victim of Mr. Epstein. Tragically, she didn't survive.
545
00:31:34.349 --> 00:31:37.710
She's no longer with us. She testified under oath that
546
00:31:37.750 --> 00:31:40.839
she saw Mr. Clinton on Epstein's island two separate occasions.
547
00:31:41.099 --> 00:31:44.440
You think she's lying? Answer, I have no information whatsoever
548
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:47.019
that he was ever on the island. Question, and just
549
00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:49.400
to be fair, why do you think that is? I mean,
550
00:31:49.420 --> 00:31:53.539
that's my question. Answer, I'm not going to offer my opinion. Question,
551
00:31:53.559 -->
00:31:57.910
all right, that's fair. Answer, I don't have any information. Question,
552
00:31:57.970 --> 00:32:01.440
further to your point earlier, about practices and patterns, now
553
00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:06.059
there's a third person, Steve Scully. Have you heard of him? Answer, who? Question,
554
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:10.609
Steve Scully. Answer, Steve Scully. Answer, yes. Question, I know
555
00:32:10.730 --> 00:32:14.710
of a Steve Scully. By, who was at Apple? Question, well,
556
00:32:14.869 --> 00:32:18.730
he was an IT contractor on the infamous aforementioned island.
557
00:32:19.150 --> 00:32:21.630
He also asserts that he saw a Mr. Clinton and
558
00:32:21.670 --> 00:32:23.809
that this is a quote from him lounging around the
559
00:32:23.849 --> 00:32:27.880
porch area of Little St. James Villa. It's just oddly specific.
560
00:32:28.380 --> 00:32:31.690
Do you think that this third person was lying as well? Answer,
561
00:32:31.849 --> 00:32:35.490
I don't know information about Mr. Scully. Question, I wanted
562
00:32:35.509 --> 00:32:37.809
to ask you that because I find that odd. It's
563
00:32:37.829 --> 00:32:40.269
a pattern in practice, as you mentioned. Have you ever
564
00:32:40.349 --> 00:32:45.140
visited Epstein Island or Little St. James Island? Clinton, no. Question, okay,
565
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:47.359
so just to be clear, is it your testimony that,
566
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:50.400
for instance, you've never flew in a private plane, flew
567
00:32:51.019 --> 00:32:53.859
into St. Thomas Airport, and then didn't enter the terminal,
568
00:32:53.900 --> 00:32:56.809
but instead boarded a helicopter to Little St. James Island?
569
00:32:56.930 --> 00:32:59.900
You never did that? Answer, I did not. Question, okay,
570
00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:03.119
so Virginia Roberts, who we just talked about, who we
571
00:33:03.220 --> 00:33:06.480
all find highly credible, I think in a bipartisan manner,
572
00:33:06.859 --> 00:33:09.980
stated that Mr. Clinton walked into Vanity Fair and threatened them,
573
00:33:10.819 --> 00:33:13.299
and that they better not write and expose the detailing
574
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:15.680
the crimes of his good friend Jeffrey Epstein. Do you
575
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:20.380
find that troubling at all? Answer, I find that not believable. Question, okay,
576
00:33:20.900 --> 00:33:24.680
let's turn to the current administration, President Trump, because you
577
00:33:24.700 --> 00:33:28.089
said some pretty choice words. of the administration and President Trump,
578
00:33:28.490 --> 00:33:32.589
aggressive and even some coupled with incendiary claims about President
579
00:33:32.630 --> 00:33:34.950
Trump and his DOJ. Fair to say that you would
580
00:33:35.009 --> 00:33:38.490
not describe them as transparent? Answer, I would not describe
581
00:33:38.539 --> 00:33:42.799
them as transparent. Question okay, how about you were an
582
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:47.559
enthusiastic supporter
of Joe Biden and Vice President Harris when
583
00:33:47.740 --> 00:33:50.859
each of them respectively ran for president? Clinton, I was.
584
00:33:51.380 --> 00:33:55.400
Question okay, would you describe the Biden-Harris administration as As
585
00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:58.759
an administration that was committed to transparency? Answer, to the
586
00:33:58.779 --> 00:34:02.039
best of their ability. Question, okay. You also asserted, and
587
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:04.079
if I get this wrong, please let me know, or
588
00:34:04.099 --> 00:34:07.119
at least insinuated, that President Trump was closer to Epstein
589
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:11.530
than your husband socially. Answer, I think there's an enormous
590
00:34:11.570 --> 00:34:14.909
amount of evidence that goes back many, many years demonstrating
591
00:34:14.929 --> 00:34:17.889
their relationship. Question, okay. Do you know how many times
592
00:34:17.949 --> 00:34:21.349
Jeffrey Epstein visited the Trump 45 White House? Answer, I
593
00:34:21.389 --> 00:34:24.730
do not know. Question, by all accounts, in evidence, zero.
594
00:34:25.659 --> 00:34:29.059
And how many times did he visit the Clinton White House? Answer,
595
00:34:29.099 --> 00:34:32.539
I don't know. Question, it was 17 times. How much
596
00:34:32.579 --> 00:34:35.989
did Jeffrey Epstein ever donate to Trump politically? Answer, I
597
00:34:36.030 --> 00:34:38.809
have no idea. Question, there was zero. But we have
598
00:34:38.849 --> 00:34:41.789
established that he donated to either you or your husband,
599
00:34:42.030 --> 00:34:46.010
your committee's 21 grand. Agree? Answer, I have no information
600
00:34:46.050 --> 00:34:50.829
that is personally based about their relationship. Question, Jeffrey Epstein
601
00:34:50.849 --> 00:34:55.519
donated $ 35, 000 to foundations. One was a $ 10, 000 donation. to
602
00:34:55.539 --> 00:34:58.780
the White House Historical Society in 93, when the Clintons,
603
00:34:58.940 --> 00:35:02.460
your family, was in the White House. He donated, and
604
00:35:02.500 --> 00:35:05.780
then there was a 2006 donation to the Clinton Foundation.
605
00:35:06.300 --> 00:35:09.750
He donated similarly to the Trump White House. Never. No
606
00:35:09.789 --> 00:35:13.710
foundations either. How many pages of Epstein files were released
607
00:35:13.969 --> 00:35:17.510
by the Oversight Committee in 2021 to 2023 when the
608
00:35:17.550 --> 00:35:21.090
Democrats were in the majority? Answer, I have no idea. Question,
609
00:35:21.130 --> 00:35:25.469
it was zero. Answer, but there was also an ongoing investigation... of,
610
00:35:25.530 --> 00:35:29.409
I believe, Glenn Maxwell during that time period. Question, so
611
00:35:29.429 --> 00:35:31.670
the answer is, I can share with you, was zero.
612
00:35:32.630 --> 00:35:35.570
How many pages did the Biden Department of Justice release
613
00:35:35.889 --> 00:35:39.659
from the Epstein files from 21 to 25? Answer, I
614
00:35:39.699 --> 00:35:43.139
have no information. I have no personal information. I've read
615
00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:45.420
that because of the trial of Glenn Maxwell. That was
616
00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:49.400
not done, but I have no personal information. Question, yeah, okay, well,
617
00:35:49.460 --> 00:35:51.909
that was zero. And that ended quite a bit ago.
618
00:35:52.070 --> 00:35:54.650
There were no images and there were no videos. When
619
00:35:54.670 --> 00:35:57.449
you compare the GOP Oversight Committee, when we took over
620
00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:01.480
in January of 23 to present, there were 65,000 documents
621
00:36:01.500 --> 00:36:04.679
that had been released. And then how many videos? There
622
00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:08.320
was nothing under the Biden administration. There was no images
623
00:36:08.420 --> 00:36:13.250
as well. There's been 180,000 images, 200,000 videos, and now
624
00:36:13.489 --> 00:36:16.809
over 3 million pages. So when you compare them, that's
625
00:36:16.849 --> 00:36:22.480
an odd definition of who's transparent and who isn't. Last thing,
626
00:36:22.739 --> 00:36:26.619
we've established that there's a $ 20, 000 donation that Jeffrey Epstein
627
00:36:26.659 --> 00:36:30.079
made to an affiliated allied campaign to get you elected
628
00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:33.360
to the presidency. Have you returned or donated that? He
629
00:36:33.389 --> 00:36:36.250
got convicted in 2008 of two felony counts. Have you
630
00:36:36.309 --> 00:36:39.929
ever returned the $ 20, 000? Answer, it didn't come to my campaign.
631
00:36:39.949 --> 00:36:42.190
I was not in charge of it. Question, so you've
632
00:36:42.230 --> 00:36:45.929
never donated that to charity? Answer, I've donated many, many
633
00:36:45.989 --> 00:36:50.170
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Lawyer jumps in, congressman. I'd
634
00:36:50.190 --> 00:36:51.750
like to know the facts in the record that show
635
00:36:51.789 --> 00:36:57.250
Jeffrey Epstein donated to her presidential campaign. Answer. By Clinton. No,
636
00:36:57.309 --> 00:37:01.070
he's talking about the Senate campaign, I think. Pat Fallon. Yeah,
637
00:37:01.190 --> 00:37:06.170
I'm sorry. They're not privileged. Question. 1998 was the Senate.
638
00:37:06.250 --> 00:37:08.610
You're right. I stand corrected. I think that would be
639
00:37:08.650 --> 00:37:15.150
a nice suggestion. Next up, Representative Cloud from Texas. Clinton. Hi,
640
00:37:15.190 --> 00:37:22.199
could you identify yourself? Representative Cloud. Michael Cloud. 27th, Texas. Question,
641
00:37:22.219 --> 00:37:24.800
and thank you for being here, Madam Secretary. You were
642
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:27.179
asked if Jeffrey Epstein played a role in shaping the
643
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:29.699
Clinton Global Initiative. Is it correct to say that you
644
00:37:29.739 --> 00:37:32.599
have mentioned that you do not know whether this was
645
00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:36.199
the case or not? Answer, I have no
information. Question,
646
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:38.710
we have a letter, of course, from Epstein's lawyer stating
647
00:37:38.730 --> 00:37:40.829
that he was, and I quote, was part of the
648
00:37:40.889 --> 00:37:44.670
original group that conceived the Clinton Global Initiative. If you
649
00:37:44.710 --> 00:37:47.809
do not know, who would know? Answer, I don't know
650
00:37:47.849 --> 00:37:50.730
because I was not involved. Question, you don't know who
651
00:37:50.769 --> 00:37:53.769
was involved in the beginning? Answer, well, my husband was
652
00:37:53.829 --> 00:37:58.030
obviously involved. Question, so your husband would know at least? Answer, well,
653
00:37:58.050 --> 00:38:01.670
you certainly can ask him. Okay, similarly, you've mentioned that
654
00:38:01.730 --> 00:38:04.329
you do not know how the funds were recruited to
655
00:38:04.369 --> 00:38:07.530
the Clinton Global Initiative. Is that an accurate understanding of
656
00:38:07.550 --> 00:38:12.099
your testimony today? Answer, no donations were made. Lots of donations.
657
00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:16.920
Many individual groups, businesses, philanthropies have donated money to the
658
00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:20.760
Clinton Global Initiative? Answer, yeah, sure. What was the process
659
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:23.489
of recruiting those donations, I guess? Or what was your
660
00:38:23.530 --> 00:38:27.190
understanding of it or your involvement in it? Answer, some
661
00:38:27.230 --> 00:38:29.489
of it was spontaneous. Some of it was through the
662
00:38:29.530 --> 00:38:32.349
team that helps to raise money. It's a combination of
663
00:38:32.409 --> 00:38:36.289
supporting charitable work. Question, do you know if Jeffrey Epstein
664
00:38:36.309 --> 00:38:39.820
was involved in helping find donors, recruit donors? Answer, I
665
00:38:39.860 --> 00:38:42.820
have no reason to believe that. I don't know. Question,
666
00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:45.219
you don't know if he was involved in donor relations
667
00:38:45.260 --> 00:38:48.429
in any way? Answer, I have no, as I say,
668
00:38:48.590 --> 00:38:51.239
reason to believe it, but I don't know. Question, do
669
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:53.820
you know who would know? Answer, the people who were
670
00:38:53.860 --> 00:38:56.360
involved in raising the money, but I was not involved
671
00:38:56.559 --> 00:39:00.619
with CGI in those early years. Question, what about when
672
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:03.389
you were there? Answer, I have no knowledge that Jeffrey
673
00:39:03.469 --> 00:39:07.570
Epstein was involved at all. Question, how many, roughly, staff
674
00:39:07.590 --> 00:39:12.409
members are there in the Clinton Global Initiative? Answer, it
675
00:39:12.469 --> 00:39:16.429
was varied over the years, but hundreds. Question, and involved
676
00:39:16.449 --> 00:39:21.079
with donor relations? Answer, dozens, I suppose. Question, dozens? Okay.
677
00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:25.300
As best we know, it's been public reported that in 2024,
678
00:39:25.300 --> 00:39:28.800
Ghislaine Maxwell, or Ghislaine, I think is how you pronounce it,
679
00:39:29.570 --> 00:39:33.190
arranged a... wired $ 1 million to a publicist group for
680
00:39:33.230 --> 00:39:36.739
the inaugural CGI event, referring to it internally as the
681
00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:40.659
Clinton Project. Epstein was copied on related emails and questioned
682
00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:43.579
the timing and destination of the funds. Were you aware
683
00:39:43.619 --> 00:39:47.780
of this $ 1 million payment? Answer, I was not. Questioned,
684
00:39:48.500 --> 00:39:51.760
Were you aware of it before today? Answer, no. Well,
685
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:56.369
in preparing for this. Question, in preparation, you were made known. Okay,
686
00:39:56.429 --> 00:39:59.110
do you know who would have known? Answer, I don't
687
00:39:59.150 --> 00:40:00.849
even know if it's true, so I have no way
688
00:40:00.889 --> 00:40:03.269
of telling you. Question, you don't know who had the
689
00:40:03.289 --> 00:40:07.210
Clinton Global Initiative? What staff would have handled million-dollar donations
690
00:40:07.550 --> 00:40:11.780
or bill relationships? Answer, I didn't go. It went to
691
00:40:11.820 --> 00:40:14.920
a group called Publicis, which is not a Clinton Global Initiative,
692
00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:17.679
so I would not know. question while the email said
693
00:40:17.699 --> 00:40:20.420
it was for the Clinton Project. Answer, first of all,
694
00:40:20.679 --> 00:40:23.340
I have no idea whether that's true. And secondly, it
695
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:26.519
went to a third party. Question, okay, Maxwell was honored
696
00:40:26.860 --> 00:40:30.960
and given complimentary access at the 2013 CGI conference for
697
00:40:30.980 --> 00:40:35.050
your ocean conservation work. Years after public allegations against her
698
00:40:35.090 --> 00:40:38.409
and Epstein were public, were you involved in approving participants
699
00:40:38.710 --> 00:40:42.150
or honorees at the CGI events? Answer, I was not.
700
00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:44.559
but I don't know that there were public allegations at
701
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:47.639
that point in time, so I can't respond to that. Question,
702
00:40:47.659 --> 00:40:51.170
so you were not involved in approval? Answer, I was not. Question,
703
00:40:51.429 --> 00:40:54.210
you didn't know what was going on or that she
704
00:40:54.250 --> 00:40:56.369
was going to be honored at the events? Answer, no,
705
00:40:56.429 --> 00:41:01.150
I was not. Question, do you know who would have known? Answer,
706
00:41:01.210 --> 00:41:03.690
whoever staff was at the time, but there's been a
707
00:41:03.710 --> 00:41:07.449
lot of staff turnover in 20 plus years. Question, a
708
00:41:07.590 --> 00:41:09.969
number of things you've mentioned today. You've mentioned that you've
709
00:41:10.590 --> 00:41:13.829
not been able to recall, and that's understandable. Is it
710
00:41:13.889 --> 00:41:16.030
possible that any of the information that you have not
711
00:41:16.050 --> 00:41:18.670
been able to recall would have been found in 30,000
712
00:41:18.670 --> 00:41:21.829
emails that went missing? Answer, no, I don't believe so.
713
00:41:22.610 --> 00:41:24.710
I had no reason to believe that. So it's not
714
00:41:24.730 --> 00:41:27.389
that I'm not recalling things that were there. I don't
715
00:41:27.429 --> 00:41:30.929
recall at all. Question, very good. Unfortunately, I have to
716
00:41:30.969 --> 00:41:34.159
catch a flight. Thank you for your time. All right, folks,
717
00:41:34.179 --> 00:41:35.780
we're going to wrap up right here. And in the
718
00:41:35.820 --> 00:41:38.659
next episode, we're going to pick up with Representative Timmons
719
00:41:38.940 --> 00:41:42.340
from South Carolina. All the information that goes with this
720
00:41:42.400 --> 00:41:44.920
episode can be found in the description box.
