Bringing back memories of the 1998 Monica Lewinsky scandal.
By Catholics for Catholics
The specter of the Monica Lewinsky scandal that rocked the nation during the late 1990s, came back to haunt former President Bill Clinton during a deposition by members of Congress in the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein probe.
Clinton plainly stiffened when he was asked to elucidate why the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein might have said that he “likes them young,” according to The Daily Wire.
Deposed by various members of Congress in the ongoing Epstein probe, Clinton seemed to become rigid the moment the question was asked about Epstein before his attorney intervened swiftly to rephrase the question for him before he responded.
“Did you know one of the witnesses who testified in the Epstein cases said that you, quote, ‘like them young.’ Why would Epstein say that about you?” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) posed the question.
Clinton looked fixedly, but his attorney sprung instantly: “Are you asking his opinion? Are you asking him to think about why Mr. Epstein would say something about him?”
“Correct. Why would Epstein say that about the president?” Mace pressed.
This was the most damning moment.

You can tell Bill knows he’s been exposed and he’s thinking of a way out and can’t find one.

The attorney reacted again, quickly reframing the question before Clinton could begin to answer, saying, “So she’s asking you to try to be in Mr. Epstein’s mind and guess at what Mr. Epstein would have thought about —”
“First of all —” Clinton began but was cut off as Mace interrupted.
“‘Clinton likes them young,’ referring to girls,” she repeated.
After a long silence, Clinton tried again.
“First of all,” he said, and then paused again before adding, “That’s not true.”
“What’s not true?” Mace asked.
“That I have any interest in underage girls,” Clinton said.
“I didn’t say underage, Mr. President,” Mace interjected. “I said young.”
“That’s still not true,” Clinton said, his voice rising slightly as he pushed back from the table.
Mace clearly spoke of former intern Monica Lewinsky with the follow-up question: “Is an intern young?”
“Yes,” Clinton conceded, but quickly added, “At my age, anybody younger than I am is young.”
Barely 22. Lewinsky was working as an intern in the White House when Clinton, then 49, started an extramarital affair with her. The affair that would create a scandal lasted 18 months. When it became public in 1998, Clinton initially denied it all.
Throughout the deposition, Clinton asserted that he had never seen Epstein doing anything that would have led him to believe that the late convicted pedophile had ever been involved in trafficking underage girls.
