一位参与询问的共和党人周五表示，前总统比尔·克林顿(Bill Clinton)称他不记得唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)总统曾将自己卷入杰弗里·爱泼斯坦(Jeffrey Epstein)的犯罪行为。
众议院监督委员会主席詹姆斯·科默(James Comer)（共和党，肯塔基州）在克林顿接受该委员会爱泼斯坦调查小组的证词陈述期间，向记者简要更新了情况。证词陈述于上午11点过后不久开始，预计将持续到周五傍晚。
“我知道媒体对特朗普总统有很多痴迷，媒体对特朗普总统有很多好奇。我想发表一个声明，因为当他们在这里出来时，可能不会提到这一点，”科默提到委员会中的民主党人时说道。
他表示，该小组的最高民主党成员罗伯特·加西亚(Robert Garcia)众议员（民主党，加利福尼亚州）询问克林顿是否应该像他一样被传唤到委员会。
“这由你们决定，”科默援引克林顿的话说。
科默称，“总统接着说，特朗普总统‘从未对我说过任何让我认为他参与其中的话’，他指的是爱泼斯坦。我认为这是克林顿总统说的一件有趣的事情。”
克林顿的证词陈述以及此前前国务卿希拉里·克林顿(Hillary Clinton)的证词陈述，均在纽约州韦斯特切斯特县的查帕奎达表演艺术中心进行。
自2000年初离开白宫以来，克林顿夫妇一直将纽约市郊区作为他们的永久居住地。
几分钟后从表演艺术中心出来向记者通报情况的民主党人表示，他们不同意科默的说法，但不愿详细说明他们自己的观点。
加西亚暗示，各方之间有一个协议，即不在证词陈述进行过程中讨论其细节。

这位加利福尼亚州民主党人对记者表示：“对此，我认为最好的回应是让你们查看完整的记录，了解他实际说了什么，看，我们不会披露说了什么，因为这不符合规定。但共和党人一直违反规定。”
“克林顿总统确实提到了一些与特朗普总统讨论相关的额外信息。我认为科默主席的描述方式，我不认为这是对实际所说内容的完整、准确描述。
“所以，让我们发布完整的记录文本，你们都可以全面了解实际说了什么，这会引出一些关于特朗普总统过去实际所说言论的非常重要的新问题。”
在众议院监督委员会的调查越来越偏向党派立场的过程中，特朗普一直是主要话题。
民主党人指责共和党一方为特朗普掩盖，而牺牲了爱泼斯坦受害者的利益，而共和党人则指责民主党将恋童癖者及其滔天罪行用作攻击总司令的工具。
周五，当被问及克林顿时，特朗普告诉记者：“我不喜欢看到他被询问。”
证词陈述正在闭门进行，但委员会预计将在整个会面结束后的几天内发布整个谈话的视频和文字记录。希拉里·克林顿的证词陈述也将如此，其视频最早可能在本周末发布。
到目前为止，克林顿证词中唯一公开的部分是他的开场陈述，其中他否认了解爱泼斯坦的犯罪行为。
根据他准备的开场发言，克林顿表示：“现在，让我说说你们会从我这里听到的内容。首先，我完全不知道爱泼斯坦正在实施的犯罪行为。无论你们给我看多少照片，最终，有两件事比你们对那些20年前的照片的解读更重要。”
“我知道我看到了什么，更重要的是，我知道我没有看到什么。我知道我做了什么，更重要的是，我知道我没有做错什么。我什么都没看到，也没有做错任何事。”
特朗普和克林顿都没有被牵连到任何与爱泼斯坦或其同谋吉斯莱恩·麦克斯韦(Ghislaine Maxwell)有关的不当行为中。

Former President Bill Clinton suggested he could not recall President Donald Trump ever implicating himself in Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, one of the Republicans deposing him said Friday.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., briefly updated reporters during Clinton’s deposition in the panel’s Epstein probe. The deposition began a little after 11 a.m. and is expected to continue into early Friday evening.
“I know there’s a lot of obsession about President Trump from the media, a lot of curiosity about President Trump from media. I want to make a statement because they’ll probably not mention this when they come out here,” Comer said, referring to Democrats on the committee.
He said the panel’s top Democrat, Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., asked Clinton if Trump should be called before the committee like he was.
“That’s for you to decide,” Clinton said, according to Comer.
“The president went on to say that the president, Trump, ‘has never said anything to me to make me think he was involved,’ and he meant with Epstein,” Comer said. “I thought that was an interesting thing that President Clinton said.”
His deposition, and that of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton before him, are taking place in the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center in Westchester County, N.Y.
The Clintons have claimed the New York City suburb as their permanent residence since leaving the White House in early 2000.
Democrats who emerged from the performing arts center minutes later to update reporters signaled they did not agree with Comer’s account but would not go into details on their own.
Garcia suggested there was an agreement between all parties not to discuss details of the deposition as it was happening.

“I think the best response with that is for you to view the complete record what actually he said, which, look, we’re not going to disclose what was said because that’s not in the rules. But Republicans keep breaking the rules,” the California Democrat told reporters.
“President Clinton did bring up some additional information about discussions with President Trump. I think that the way Chairman Comer described it, I don’t think it’s a complete, accurate description of what actually was said.
“So, let’s release the full transcript, and you can all get a full record of what actually was said, which brings up some very important new questions about comments that President Trump has actually said in the past.”
Trump has been a main topic in the increasingly partisan divide in the House Oversight Committee’s probe.
Democrats have accused the GOP side of covering up for Trump at the expense of Epstein’s victims, while Republicans have accused Democrats of using the pedophile and his heinous crimes as a tool for attacking the commander in chief.
Trump told reporters Friday when asked about Clinton, “I don’t like seeing him deposed.”
The deposition is ongoing behind closed doors, but the committee is expected to release a video and transcript of the entire sit-down within days of its conclusion. The same is true for Hillary Clinton’s deposition, the video for which could be released as early as this weekend.
The only portion of Clinton’s testimony that is public so far is his opening statement in which he denied knowing anything about Epstein’s crimes.
“Now, let me say what you’re going to hear from me. First, I had no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing. No matter how many photos you show me, I have two things that, at the end of the day, matter more than your interpretation of those 20-year-old photos,” Clinton said, according to his prepared opening remarks.

“I know what I saw and, more importantly, what I didn’t see. I know what I did and, more importantly, what I didn’t do. I saw nothing and I did nothing wrong.”
Neither Trump nor Clinton have been implicated in any wrongdoing associated with Epstein or his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.
