<p class="speakable">Former President <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/bill-clinton" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Bill Clinton</a> told lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee that recently uncovered images of him in a pool with Ghislaine Maxwell, an accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, and the infamous hot tub photo were taken at a hotel in Brunei and are not linked to any sexual misconduct.</p><p class="speakable">"No," Clinton answered flatly when asked if he had sexual relations with the female in the hot tub photo, whose identity has been redacted by the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/justice-department" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Department of Justice</a> (DOJ).</p><p>The DOJ is required by law to release any documents or images related to Epstein, but to censor information that could identify Epstein’s victims.</p><p>Clinton said his stay at the hotel came about as an invitation from the kingdom’s Sultan — someone Clinton said he had met during his presidency.</p><p>"It’s a tiny place but a very wealthy one, and <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/the-clintons" rel="noopener" target="_blank">the Sultan</a> was a man I had gotten to know well in my eight years as president and his involvement with the Asia-Pacific leaders conference, which I started and which he attended," Clinton said.</p><p>Brunei is a kingdom located on an island near Indonesia.</p><p>"When he knew I was, he invited me to stay there. And he said, ‘I want you to stay at this hotel, and I hope that you’ll use the pool.’ So, I did, and then I got out and went to bed, exhausted," Clinton recalled.</p><p><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bill-clinton-comes-out-swinging-against-comer-rejecting-public-epstein-hearing-stop-playing-games" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>BILL CLINTON COMES OUT SWINGING AGAINST COMER FOR REJECTING PUBLIC EPSTEIN HEARING: 'STOP PLAYING GAMES'</strong></a></p><p>While Clinton said that he remembered that both Epstein and Maxwell had joined him at the resort, he <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/hearings" rel="noopener" target="_blank">told lawmakers he couldn’t remember</a> who else was there.</p><p>Clinton didn’t explain why Epstein and Maxwell had accompanied him on the trip.</p><p>He answered that and said that, to the best of his recollection, no one at the pool had been a minor.
