Bill Clinton shared a tidbit about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein's friendship when he was questioned by the House Oversight Government Reform Committee in his Friday, February 27, deposition.
The former president revealed that when he ran into Trump at a golf tournament in 2002 or 2003, the businessman brought up Epstein in a conversation.
Bill Clinton Spills on Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein's Friendship
Bill Clinton swore he saw 'nothing' wrong when he was friends with late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
"Somehow he knew I had flown in Jeffrey Epstein's aircraft," Clinton, 79, shared. "He said, 'You know, we had some great times together over the years, but we fell out all because of a real estate deal.'"
The former POTUS added that their chat didn't make him think Trump, 79 was involved in any of Epstein's s-- trafficking crimes.
Like Clinton, Trump has been pictured in several photos with Epstein and was mentioned numerous times in the Epstein files. As OK! reported, it was recently discovered that the DOJ withheld a report a female made in which she accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she as 13.
The Former President Declared His Innocence
According to Bill Clinton, Donald Trump once raved over the 'great times' he had with Jeffrey Epstein.
Clinton — who has not been accused of participating in any of the late financier's crimes — testified about his past relationship with Epstein, which took place before the latter was convicted for soliciting a minor for prostitution.
Prior to sitting down, he released a powerful statement to declare his innocence.
"As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on [Epstein's] plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing – I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals," he said.

The former president had 'stopped associating' with Jeffrey Epstein before he was found guilty of soliciting a minor for prostitution.
"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," the father-of-one stated. "I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong."
"We are only here because he hid it from everyone so well for so long," Clinton continued. "And by the time it came to light with his 2008 guilty plea, I had long stopped associating with him."
Bill Clinton Defends Wife Hillary
Bill Clinton shamed the committee for subpoenaing Hillary Clinton, as he claimed she had no relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Clinton also defended wife Hillary Clinton, 78, who had a deposition one day prior.
"Before we start, I have to get personal. You made Hillary come in. She had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein," he insisted. "She has no memory of meeting him. She neither traveled with him or visited any of his properties. Whether you subpoenaed 10 people or 10,0000, including her was simply not right."
The financier committed suicide in 2019 at age 66 while in jail awaiting his s-- trafficking trial.
