Hillary Clinton has told Congress she had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s or Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal activities while giving testimony as part of a congressional probe into the convicted sex offender.

“I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr Epstein,” Hillary Clinton said in an opening statement she posted on social media.

She also called on politicians to question US President Donald Trump about Epstein while under oath.

“If this Committee is serious about learning the truth about Epstein’s trafficking crimes, it would not rely on press gaggles to get answers from our current president on his involvement; it would ask him directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein files,” she wrote.

    He lies on camera daily. What has that done? What will once more do? Oh, he had to pinky promise it’s true this time. Congress are the ones that are supposed to do something about all this and they won’t. Can’t be bothered. I’m not personally letting him do anything. I didn’t vote for him. I’ve never voted for him. The people I did vote for aren’t doing anything. I know that the Internet’s response to that is that you have to take matters into your own hands, but let’s actually be serious. Say he lies under oath. Then what? He gets impeached again? Investigate Congress because that’s why he can do whatever he wants. But that will never happen because they are all in the files that didn’t get released.

      Yes, once more. And once more after that. Never stop pushing back in every way possible, because that’s the only option we have.
