‘No Knowledge of Epstein,’ Hillary Clinton Insists, Urges President Donald Trump to Answer Questions

New Delhi: In secret questioning yesterday before an investigative committee of the US Congress, the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that she had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes and did not recall ever meeting Epstein herself. During questioning, she demanded transparency and said that if the files related to Epstein contained the names of any influential people, then they should be made public; she also requested to call Donald Trump to answer.

Did she admit any personal connection to Epstein?

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton clarified before the Council of Members that she neither visited Epstein's house nor traveled on her plane, nor did she have any knowledge of his crimes. According to her, there were many questions that were not related to facts but to conspiracies; she seemed to be rejecting these questions. Those who followed the secret statement are in favor of making public some lines of inquiry.

Why was the inquiry postponed midway?

The session was temporarily halted following the leaking of a photograph during the question-and-answer session. The committee called for an investigation into the breach, while the alleged leak sparked debate over the confidentiality and rules of the process. This incident made the tone of the hearing more sensitive and intensified the allegations and counter-allegations between the parties.

Did she ask Trump to respond directly?

During interrogation, she raised questions as to why clarification was not being sought regarding the names mentioned in some files related to Epstein. Amid the same debate, she also asked Donald Trump to testify in person, a demand that increased both political heat and media coverage. The opposition also tried to say that it was motivated by political motives.

Were questions raised about the availability of documents?

The investigation also raised concerns that some files related to Epstein were not made public in their entirety or were heavily censored. The Justice Department is reviewing whether the documents were improperly withheld or modified in some way. This aspect made the hearing an institutional question beyond the boundaries of mere individuals.

What further direction can this hearing give?

This ongoing process by the Home Committee is not only an investigation into the events of the past but is also testing how transparently the connections of powerful people and institutions can be exposed. Testimony from more key people is expected in the next stages of the investigation, and if the documents are revealed it could change the direction and perspective of the case.
