2月27日（路透社）- 前总统比尔·克林顿定于周五闭门向国会小组委员会作证，就他与已故性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的关联接受询问。这可能是这位前民主党领袖与总统唐纳德·特朗普的共和党同僚之间的一场紧张对峙。
克林顿的证词定于美国东部时间上午11点（格林尼治标准时间1600点）开始，此前他的妻子、前国务卿希拉里·克林顿于周四告诉众议院监督委员会，她不记得曾见过爱泼斯坦，也没有关于其性犯罪的信息可分享。

然而，克林顿在21世纪初卸任后曾多次乘坐爱泼斯坦的飞机。司法部公布的数百万份文件中包含他与面部信息被隐去的女性的照片。他否认有不当行为，并对自己与爱泼斯坦的关联表示后悔。
该小组委员会的共和党主席、肯塔基州众议员詹姆斯·科默表示，克林顿夫妇并未被指控有不当行为，但必须回答关于爱泼斯坦与他们慈善基金会关联的问题。
在众议院威胁以藐视国会罪传讯他们后，克林顿夫妇同意在纽约州查帕奎克的主 residence附近作证。一些民主党人支持这一举措。
两党均指责共和党人进行党派性调查，目的是保护总统唐纳德·特朗普免受审查，指出调查中的其他人被允许提交书面陈述而非亲自作证。
民主党人还要求传唤特朗普，因为特朗普的名字在与爱泼斯坦相关的文件中频繁出现。特朗普在20世纪90年代和21世纪初与爱泼斯坦广泛社交，爱泼斯坦于2008年因涉嫌为未成年人招募卖淫而被定罪。
民主党人还指控特朗普的司法部扣留了一名女性的记录，该女性指控特朗普在她未成年时对其进行性虐待。司法部表示正在审查相关材料，如认为合适将予以公布。
司法部此前曾警告称，其公布的材料包含关于特朗普的不实指控和耸人听闻的言论，当局尚未指控他与爱泼斯坦有关的任何刑事犯罪。
爱泼斯坦2019年在面临联邦性交易犯罪指控时死于狱中，其死亡被裁定为自杀。

Feb 27 (Reuters) – Former President Bill Clinton is due to testify on Friday behind closed doors to a congressional panel about his ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, in what could be a tense confrontation between the former Democratic leader and President Donald Trump’s fellow Republicans.
Clinton’s testimony, scheduled for 11 a.m. ET (1600 GMT), follows that of his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who told the House of Representatives Oversight Committee on Thursday that she does not remember ever meeting Epstein and had nothing to share about his sex crimes.

Bill Clinton, however, flew on Epstein’s plane several times in the early 2000s after he left office, and a tranche of millions of documents released by the Justice Department includes photos of him with women whose faces are redacted. He has denied wrongdoing and expressed regret for his association.
The panel’s Republican chairman, Representative James Comer of Kentucky, says the Clintons are not accused of wrongdoing but must answer questions about Epstein’s involvement with their charitable foundation.
They agreed to testify near their main residence of Chappaqua, New York, after the House of Representatives threatened to hold them in contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate. Some Democrats supported the move.
Both Clintons accuse Republicans of conducting a partisan exercise designed to protect President Donald Trump from scrutiny, noting that others in the inquiry were allowed to submit written statements rather than testify in person.
Democrats say the panel should also subpoena Trump, whose name appears frequently in the Epstein-related files. Trump socialized extensively with Epstein in the 1990s and 2000s, before Epstein’s 2008 conviction of soliciting prostitution from a minor.
Democrats are also accusing Trump’s Justice Department of withholding records of a woman who accused Trump of sexually abusing her when she was a minor. The Justice Department has said it is looking at the material in question and will publish it if appropriate.
The department has previously cautioned that the material it has released includes unfounded accusations and sensationalist claims about Trump, and authorities have not accused him of any criminal wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.
Epstein died in jail in 2019 while facing federal sex-trafficking crimes. His death was ruled a suicide.
