Trump rejects Clinton claims, denies any link to Epstein case: Video

US President Donald Trump has rejected claims by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the White House is using developments in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation as a diversion from allegations against him.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Monday, February 16, Trump said he had “nothing to hide” and insisted he had been cleared of any wrongdoing linked to financier Jeffrey Epstein. “I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. They went in hoping that they’d find it and found just the opposite,” he said.

Trump’s comments came amid renewed attention on the Epstein investigation after the Republican-led House Oversight Committee voted last month to hold former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with subpoenas seeking testimony related to the case.
