Hillary Clinton appeared before a congressional committee on Thursday to answer questions about her alleged links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The former US secretary of state accused Republican members of targeting her to divert attention from Donald Trump's own ties to Epstein.
Clinton testified for hours in a closed-door session, a day before her husband, former President Bill Clinton, was also scheduled to appear. The hearings come as the US justice department has released millions of files related to Epstein, revealing that many high-profile figures, including Prince Andrew, maintained friendships with him after his 2008 conviction for child sex offences.
During her testimony, Clinton urged Republicans to question Trump 'directly under oath' about his relationship with Epstein. The former secretary of state's appearance marks the latest development in ongoing investigations into Epstein's network of associates.
