Some tidbits are starting to come along from former President Bill Clinton's deposition in front of the House Oversight Committee on Friday. While there will doubtless be a lot more to chew on, and we hope to see some video released as well, the Oversight Committee Chair, Republican Rep. James Comer (KY-01) did let slip one interesting piece of the former president's testimony.

A story on Fox News' site has more details.
Former President Bill Clinton suggested he could not recall President Donald Trump ever implicating himself in Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, one of the Republicans deposing him said Friday.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., briefly updated reporters during Clinton's deposition in the panel's Epstein probe. The deposition began a little after 11 a.m. and is expected to continue into early Friday evening.
"I know there's a lot of obsession about President Trump from the media, a lot of curiosity about President Trump from media. I want to make a statement because they'll probably not mention this when they come out here," Comer said, referring to Democrats on the committee.
Saying there's a lot of obsession about President Trump from the media is an understatement of massive proportions, especially where this particular issue is concerned. We should also note that this denial, such as it is, is not yet an official quote; that will have to wait until the release of the official transcript.
He said the panel's top Democrat, Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., asked Clinton if Trump should be called before the committee like he was.
That's for you to decide," Clinton said, according to Comer.
"The president went on to say that the president, Trump, ‘has never said anything to me to make me think he was involved,’ and he meant with Epstein," Comer said. "I thought that was an interesting thing that President Clinton said."
As denials go, that's a little on the weak side. But coming from former President Clinton?

Former President Clinton has been keeping something of a low profile in recent years, until now.
The Oversight Committee is expected to release the full transcript of former President Clinton's deposition in the next few days, likely along with the video. The transcript and video of Hillary Clinton will also be released, possibly as early as this weekend, and that should make for some interesting reading indeed. As of this writing, however, all that has been released is the former president's opening statement:
The only portion of Clinton's testimony that is public so far is his opening statement in which he denied knowing anything about Epstein's crimes.
"Now, let me say what you're going to hear from me. First, I had no idea of the 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," Clinton said, according to his prepared opening remarks.
There will be a lot more released in the coming days. Stay tuned.
