0:00 Former President Bill Clinton just wrapped up a deposition taken by the House Oversight Committee. Clinton wanted to do the deposition in public at a public hearing. The MAGA Republicans wanted to do it in secret and former President Clinton turned the tables on Donald Trump here and also mentioned that Donald Trump appears to have been bragging about his relationship with Epstein, how close they were. And former President Clinton said that when Donald Trump would bring up Epstein around Clinton, Donald Trump talked about how they had a falling out regarding a real estate deal, which is what we have previously reported on the Midas Touch Network, and not that it involved Donald Trump uh kicking Epstein out of Mara Lago because he discovered that Epstein
0:46 was engaged in child sex trafficking and other crimes. It was over a real estate transaction. And that's what former President Clinton testified as well. But of course, the MAGA Republicans who wanted to keep this thing secret for a reason. They tried to change the narrative right away because they know that Clinton's testimony was actually very damaging to Donald Trump. And so what ended up happening was is you had the MAGA Republicans rush out after uh Clinton's deposition was over. You see James Comr right here. And I'll show you what he said in just a moment where he said, "Look everybody, Bill Clinton exonerated Donald Trump." He said during They're using Bill Clinton as the character reference now for Donald Trump. That's how desperate they are. They go, "Uh, former President Clinton
1:31 went on to say that President Trump never said anything to me to make me think that he was involved." And he meant with Epstein. Now, as Democratic Congress member Frost, who was in attendance at this deposition, said, "I'm happy to clarify. President Clinton brought up a conversation he had with Trump in New York City regarding Epstein." Clinton said that Trump told him that he had a falling out with Epstein due to a land dispute, a real estate transaction. This directly refutes Trump's claims about why he fell out with Epste. and the House Oversight Dems's rapid response responded right away and they said, "Let's be clear. Today, President Clinton raised more questions about the relationship between
2:17 President Trump and Epstein." Specifically with regards to the reason their relationship ended. Claims that President Clinton fully exonerated Trump are wrong and a mischaracterization. In fact, President Clinton confirmed that he knew Trump and Epste had a close relationship and said Trump reported having great times with Epstein. The full transcript, unedited, should be released immediately. This is why the MAGA Republicans want to do these depositions in secret. Even if they're going to release the video later on, they want to rush out, change the narrative, spread the propaganda, try to overwhelm people with lies, and then people get confused about what really happened. That's why it's important that we report on all of the facts here at the Midas Touch Network. But just so you
3:03 can see what James Comr reported, here's what or what James Comr said happened. Here's what he says. Play this clip. >> The Democrats who are the majority had an hour. We will break for 10 minutes. Then the majority will go back for our second hour which will be the third total hour. Uh that might be the halfway point after that. I that's yet to be determined. But uh just wanted to mention something because I know there's a lot of obsession about President Trump from the media. A lot of curiosity about President Trump, the media. I want to make a statement because they'll probably not mention this when they come out here. Ranking member Garcia asked President Clinton, quote, "Should uh should President Trump be called to
3:48 answer questions for this committee?" And President Clinton said, "That's for you to decide." And the president went on to say that uh the President Trump has never said anything to me uh to make me think he was involved and he met with Epson. So just I know there's a lot of curiosity about President Trump. I thought that was an interesting thing that President Clinton said. So, I'll let the Democrats have the podium and they can answer your questions, but we'll we'll come back at the conclusion, the majority will, and we'll answer all your questions. >> Now, before former President Bill Clinton's deposition took place, Donald Trump was holding a press conference outside the Oval Office, outside of on the White House lawn where he said, "I like Bill Clinton. I don't like seeing
4:33 him deposed." And Donald Trump was terrified that Bill Clinton was going to do exactly what he did, which is to talk about the situation where Donald Trump told Clinton about Trump's friendship with Epstein. You know, the great times they had together and that they ultimately fell out because of a real estate transaction. Here's what Trump said about Bill Clinton's deposition. Let's play it today. But no, I'm not happy with the way they about to set for you and your family. I don't like seeing him deposed, but uh you know, they certainly went after me a lot more than that. >> I don't like I don't like >> And here's where Donald Trump claimed that he was fully exonerated by the Epstein Files, which he's not. Play this
5:19 clip. >> What about I don't know anything about the Epstein Files. You know, I've been fully exonerated. >> And then he says Howard Lutnik is innocent of everything. Let's play this clip. >> Howard Lutick. What's your reaction to that? >> Well, how would go in and do whatever he has to say. He's a he's a very innocent guy. He's doing a good job. >> Now, Democrats outside of after former President Clinton's deposition ended, they went outside and held a press conference. We heard from Democratic Congresswoman Stanberry. Here's what she had to say >> to today's deposition. I want to be clear at the outset that President Clinton as of today has not been accused of a crime. There are not public files available
6:06 that accuse him of a crime. Whereas there are publicly available documents that do allege a crime of President Trump. But it is very well established that President Clinton had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and Galain Maxwell. And we are treating this investigation extraordinarily seriously. And when you see the recorded deposition, you will see that we asked all of the hard questions, centering the survivors, making sure that we get to the bottom of where there are discrepancies in the record, and understanding how not only the crimes that Jeffrey Epstein committed could go on, but why there was a culture that surrounded him wherein
6:52 the rich and powerful turned a blind eye. >> Here is what uh Congress member Garcia said to Donald Trump. You got to man up and show up and you be deposed. >> President Trump needs to man up, get in front of this committee and answer the questions and Scott calling investigation a hoax. And we've got to go in. Thank you all very >> more from Congress member Garcia here. >> Republicans have now set a new president which is to bring in presidents and former presidents to testify. So we're once again going to make that call that we did yesterday. We are now asking and demanding that President Trump officially come in and testify in front of the oversight committee. He appears in the Epstein files next to next to Jeffrey Epstein and Galain Maxwell
7:39 almost more than anybody else. So, it's time for the president to answer questions about why files are missing from the DOJ, why there's been a White House cover up, and why we continue in that administration to call this investigation a hoax. And finally, I'll review the call that we made yesterday that we are demanding again that the press and the public be allowed inside these depositions so that you can hear the answers and the questions directly. And if that's not going to happen, they need to release a full unedited review of the questions and video within 24 hours of the end of these depositions. That means the Secretary Clinton deposition needs to be released immediately today. And then state regime media, which calls itself Fox News, they
8:26 propaganda in high gear and they said Donald Trump never went on Epstein's jet. It was only Bill Clinton. And that's why Bill Clinton has to be deposed, but Trump shouldn't. Trump's never been on the jet. Here, play this clip. >> I don't know what it is, but I would like to hear from her. >> I would note that Donald Trump was not on the plane, so putting him in the same pool as Bill Clinton, who was on the plane, I think, >> but he's mentioned all so ask him the question. However, >> like not just why lie, but the most egregious lie. Like we know that Trump was on that plane multiple time, perhaps dozens of times. Here's an email from the Epstein files January 7th, 2020 from uh the uh federal prosecutors to each other. Here's what they write. These are the federal prosecutors emailing other federal prosecutors. For your
9:12 situational awareness, wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported or that we were aware of, including the period we would expect to charge in a Maxwell case. So, it's right there. Let's take a look at the statement that former President Bill Clinton put out. Here's what he posted. As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I have not flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing, I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals. Here's a statement by President Clinton. Here was the opening statement that he gave to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee when he testified today. Good
9:58 morning. Welcome to Chapaqua. I'm here today for two reasons. The first is that I love my country and America was built upon the idea that no person is above the law, even presidents, especially presidents. Democracy requires every person to play their part. And I hope that by being here today, we can turn, we can bring ourselves a little further away from the brink and back to being a country where we can disagree with one another civily, where the search for truth and justice outweighs the partisan urge to score points and create spectacle. I'll do my part and I hope you'll do yours. The second reason I'm here is that the girls and women whose lives Jeffrey Epstein destroyed deserve not only justice but healing. They've been waiting too long for both. Though my brief acquaintance with Epstein ended
10:43 years before his crimes came to light. And though I never witnessed during our limited interactions any indication of what was truly going on, I am here to offer what little I know so that it might prevent anything like this from ever happening again. But before we start, I have to get personal. You made Hillary come in. She had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epste. Nothing. She has no memory of even meeting him. She neither traveled with him nor visit any of his properties. Whether you subpoenaed 10 people or 10,000, including her, was simply not right. We began this hearing with me raising my hand and taking an oath to tell the truth. But everyone has a responsibility to be honest with those they represent. Whether you raised your right hand or not, each and every one of us owes nothing less than the truth and accuracy to the American people. Now, let me say what you're going to hear
11:29 from me. First, I had no idea of what 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. 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. As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing, I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals. But even with my 2020 hindsight, I saw nothing that ever gave me pause. We are only here because he hid it from everyone so well for so long. And by the time it came to light with his 2008 guilty plea, I had long stopped associating with him.
12:15 You'll often hear me say that I don't recall. that might be unsatisfying, but I'm not going to say something I'm not sure of. This was all a long time ago, and I'm bound by my oath not to speculate or to guess. This is not merely for my benefit, but because it doesn't help you for me to play detective 24 years later. Since I am under oath, I will not falsely state that I am looking forward to your questions, but I am ready to answer them to the best of my abilities, consistent with the facts as I know them, the legitimate, logical, even the outlandish. With that, Mr. chairman fire away. And just two more things I want to point out. One, here's what Democratic Congress member Submanian said when he was leaving the deposition. Let's play it. >> I think generally it was pretty respectful. Yeah. You know, we we all called him Mr. President. Um, you know,
13:01 the exchanges were respectful. You know, certainly there was uncomfortable questions for him, but he handled it pretty well and he he has not taken the fifth amendment so far and I don't think he will. Do you still think around six wrap? >> I think so. >> Would would you say it was more respectful than than yesterday? >> I would say it was more respectful yesterday. >> Thank you. And finally, just as a YouTube cleanser, a pallet cleanser, an eye cleanser, if you will, this is former President Biden going on board a commercial flight, chatting with the people around him and looking happy and healthier these days. Play this clip.
