The Spin
Republican narrative
Clinton's testimony confirms troubling connections to Epstein that demand scrutiny. Flight logs show at least 27 trips on Epstein's plane, the financier visited the White House 17 times during Clinton's presidency, and Ghislaine Maxwell played a central role in establishing the Clinton Global Initiative. Photos from the DOJ files show Clinton in compromising situations, including a hot tub image where he claims not to know the woman pictured with him.
Democratic narrative
Clinton's deposition sets a crucial precedent for holding powerful figures accountable, including Trump. The former president cooperated fully, answered every question and made clear he had zero knowledge of Epstein's crimes and ended contact years before charges emerged. Republicans are running a partisan cover-up to protect Trump, who also appears extensively in the Epstein files yet faces no subpoena.
