Former President Bill Clinton visibly froze when he was asked to explain why the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein might have said that he “likes them young.”
Clinton, deposed by several members of Congress in the ongoing Epstein probe, appeared to freeze the moment the question was asked about Epstein before his attorney jumped in quickly to rephrase the question for him before he answered.

“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 stared straight ahead, but his attorney pounced immediately: “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.
The attorney jumped into motion 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 pause, 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’s follow-up question, clearly referencing his former intern Monica Lewinsky, also appeared to take the former president off guard: “Is an intern young?”
“Yes,” Clinton conceded, but quickly added, “At my age, anybody younger than I am is young.”
Lewinsky was just 22 and working as an intern in the White House when Clinton, then 49, began an extramarital affair with her. The affair lasted 18 months and when their relationship became a public scandal in 1998, Clinton initially denied everything.
The former president, throughout the deposition, insisted that he had never witnessed Epstein doing anything that would have led him to believe that the late convicted pedophile had ever been involved in trafficking underage girls.
