Former President Bill Clinton appeared visibly uneasy as he faced questions about his past association with Jeffrey Epstein, according to clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. G.
Former President Bill Clinton, who has not been accused of wrongdoing, testified last week before the House of Representatives’ oversight committee in New York as part of a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s network.
During his testimony, Clinton said Epstein’s ability to conceal criminal activity contributed to how long he avoided accountability.
“We are only here because he hid it from everyone so well for so long. And by the time it came to light with his 2008 guilty plea, I had long stopped associating with him,” Clinton said, according to VT.
He went on: “This was all a long time ago. And I am bound by my oath not to speculate, or to guess. This is not merely for my benefit, but because it doesn’t help you for me to play detective 24 years later.”
Bill Clinton’s Epstein deposition
Dr. G, who runs the “Dr. G Explains” YouTube channel, which he describes as a “destination for true crime analysis, in-depth exploration of high-profile crime cases, and a comprehensive source of information on psychology,” analyzed Clinton’s deposition and identified key moments that suggested the former president was visibly “uncomfortable” during questioning.
One of those moments came when Clinton was asked to “briefly describe the nature and extent of your relationship with Mr. Epstein,” according to the site. He responded: “Well, sometime after I left the White House, either in late 2001 or earlyish of 2002.”
Appeared “uncomfortable”
Dr. G reacted to the moment, saying Clinton appeared “more uncomfortable than ever” during the questioning. He added: “He’s someone that seems almost impervious to stress when he’s out in public, when he’s giving speeches, when he speaks in front of Congress, or used to. So, to see him like this, it’s very interesting.”
He also pointed to Clinton’s body language, describing it as defensive. Specifically, Dr. G interpreted the former president crossing his arms as a “defensive posture” and said it was “atypical” for him to lower his chin and fidget when asked about his relationship with the convicted sex offender.
“We’re continuing to get a lot of defensiveness from Bill Clinton,” Dr. G said.
Clinton has denied any wrongdoing and said he “did nothing wrong” and “saw nothing.”
