House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said that former President Bill Clinton’s deposition regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was superior to his wife’s due to his “Southern people skills” and charm.
Speaking with reporters after Bill Clinton’s deposition, Comer said the former president’s deposition was “productive,” and revealed that he “answered every question, or attempted to answer every question.” However, he said the answers are sure to invite more questions once the transcript is released.
A reporter then asked Comer why he believed Bill Clinton’s deposition was more respectful than Hillary Clinton’s.
“Everybody knows President Clinton… He’s got Southern people skills, and he’s a charming individual, obviously,” Comer responded.
The Kentucky Republican further noted that the depositions marked “historical” days, as the Clintons marked the two most high-ranking officials in U.S. history to have ever been compelled via subpoena to deliver depositions to Congress.
Earlier in the day, Comer noted with satisfaction that Bill Clinton had poured cold water on any speculation that President Donald Trump was involved with Epstein.
JAMES COMER CLAIMS CLINTON POURED COLD WATER ON ANY TRUMP INVOLVEMENT WITH EPSTEIN
House oversight committee Democrats disagreed with the characterization, but refrained from saying what they believed was actually said. Democrats have aimed to subpoena Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick over his involvement with Epstein, and some have sought to use the precedent of Clinton to seek the testimony of Trump himself.
During his testimony, Bill Clinton denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes, and he was described as being largely relaxed while answering questions.
