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 didn’t see anything and I didn’t do anything wrong,” said the former president after being summoned by the members of the Committee to answer questions about his crimes. ties to Epstein.
