Trump says he was ‘not happy’ to see Bill Clinton testify to House Oversight in Epstein probe

President Donald Trump said Friday that he was “not happy” to see former President Bill Clinton forced to testify in front of the House Oversight Committee about his old friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, which sets a new precedent.Clinton became the first former president to be forced to comply with a congressional subpoena when he testified in front of the panel Friday. He was threatened with being held in contempt of Congress if he continued to refuse. 
“I don’t like seeing him deposed, but they certainly went after me a lot more than that,” Trump told reporters outside the White House. “Look, I like him, and I don’t like seeing him deposed.”
Clinton maintained in his testimony in New York that he had no knowledge of Epstein’s sex crimes and claimed he would have “turned him in myself,” if he had. He also said he was testifying because Epstein’s victims deserve justice.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, testified before the panel on Thursday and denied ever having met Epstein. The Clintons have not been accused of any wrongdoing.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer has promised to release the video and transcript of the depositions as soon as the couple approves it.
