Former President Bill Clinton told U.S. House lawmakers that he “did nothing wrong” in his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Clinton told members of Congress he saw no signs of Epstein’s sexual abuse, and by the time the abuse came to light with a 2008 guilty plea, he had long stopped associating with Epstein. The closed-door deposition in Chappaqua, New York, marks the first time a former president has been compelled to testify to Congress. On Thursday, Hillary Clinton gave her own testimony, telling the House Oversight Committee that she did not encounter Epstein and “had no idea” about his criminal activities.

Lawmakers say the U.S. military used a laser to take down a Customs and Border Protection drone near El Paso, Texas. The FAA closed airspace in the area, though no commercial flights were affected. The FAA, CBP, and Pentagon said the laser was used to address what appeared to be a potential threat.
Former President Bill Clinton is set to testify behind closed doors Thursday to a congressional committee investigating the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Both Bill and Hillary Clinton initially refused to appear but relented after lawmakers threatened contempt of Congress. Transcripts of the depositions are expected to be made public. Hillary Clinton testified Wednesday, saying she had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
Election-year legislation that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote appears stalled in the Senate, despite President Donald Trump urging lawmakers to pass it “before anything else” in his State of the Union address. The bill, known as the SAVE America Act, has strong support from House conservatives but faces Democratic opposition and divisions among Republicans in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader John Thune says the GOP is still discussing how to move forward.
A federal judge has found that the Internal Revenue Service broke the law by improperly sharing confidential taxpayer information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said the IRS violated strict privacy rules tens of thousands of times by disclosing last known addresses to ICE. The ruling stems from a data-sharing agreement between the Treasury Department and Homeland Security, which the government is now appealing.
"I don't know how many times I had to say I did know not know Jeffrey Epstein."
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton denied any personal connection to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and said she had no information to share about his criminal activities, after emerging from a highly anticipated deposition with lawmakers on Thursday.
"I answered every one of their questions as fully as I could, based on what I knew. And what I knew is what I said in my statement this morning. I never met Jeffrey Epstein, never had any connection or communication with him. I knew Ghislaine Maxwell casually as an acquaintance.
But whatever they asked me, I did my very best to respond."
Clinton's testimony lasted seven hours and was behind closed doors before the Republican-led House Oversight Committee.
The committee's Republican chairman James Comer called the deposition "productive."
"I think we learned a lot. There were a lot of questions that we asked that we weren't satisfied with the answers that we got, but we will continue to move forward."
Clinton had a different view of Thursday's questioning, accusing the panel of trying to shift focus away from President Donald Trump's ties to Epstein.
"They asked literally the same questions over and over again, which didn't seem to me to be very productive.
"It then got at the end quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate, one of the most vile, bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the Internet. That was serving as the basis of a member's questions to me."
