Former President Bill Clinton revealed to lawmakers Friday that he had a previous conversation with President Donald Trump about what really caused the rift between him and Jeffrey Epstein years ago.
Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost (D-FL) described what Clinton said during a closed-door House Oversight Committee deposition in Chappaqua, New York, over his relationship with Epstein.
"I’m happy to clarify. President Clinton brought up a conversation he had with Trump in NYC re: Epstein," Frost wrote on X. "President Clinton said that Trump told him that he had a falling out with Epstein due to a land dispute. This directly refutes Trump’s claims about why he fell out with Epstein."
Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) told CNN additional details about what Clinton said in the testimony.
"Since Chairman [James] Comer (R-KY) did bring that up I can specifically address that, which is basically President Clinton was asked about well, he brought up the fact that he spoke with President Trump at a golf event, and President Trump had told him that they, he and Epstein had had a falling out, and it was because of a land dispute," Subramanyam said.
"It wasn't because of what Epstein was doing to girls who were working at Mar-a-Lago, so it absolutely does dispute something that President Trump has said," Subramanyam added. "I think Congressman Comer, Chairman Comer had mentioned that President Clinton cleared or absolved President Trump of of anything. But that's not true. The reality is all President Clinton said was that any of all the things he heard from President Trump himself, nothing he heard would indicate that President Trump was involved in wrongdoing. Again, the transcripts will come out but I can't confirm that that's what was said."
The president has previously said that his falling out with Epstein was related to the late financier and convicted child sex offender hiring away Trump's workers at his Mar-a-Lago spa.
Trump has maintained that he did not have any ties to Epstein, despite his name appearing throughout the Department of Justice's 3 million documents, with him mentioned about 38,000 times.
"I don't know anything about the Epstein files. I've been fully exonerated," Trump said.
Former President Clinton delivered his opening statements Friday under oath and shared a statement on his social media.
"I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong," Clinton said.
Neither the Clintons nor Trump has been accused of any wrongdoing.
Lawmakers have indicated that a transcript would be released and include testimony from the Clintons. No date or deadline has been announced.
