Former US President Bill Clinton says he saw nothing and did nothing wrong during his opening statement to US lawmakers about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Clinton says if he had known about Epstein's crimes, he would have turned him in.
The former president also criticised the committee for making his wife, Hillary Clinton, testify on Thursday, saying she had nothing to do with Epstein.
In a six-hour testimony, Hillary Clinton said she had no idea about Epstein's crimes and called the session partisan political theatre.
Republicans say they will release video of Hillary Clinton's testimony either later on Friday or Saturday.
Images of the former president were published in the Epstein files, and he has previously said he took trips on Epstein's plane.
Clinton denies any knowledge of Epstein's crimes, and there is no suggestion that appearing in the Epstein documents implies wrongdoing.
The Epstein files are a partially released collection of millions of documents, images, videos, and emails detailing the activities of American financier and convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including his social circle of public figures, politicians, and celebrities.
