Bill Clinton

I'm saddened by the passing of Craig Venter, a brilliant scientist and visionary entrepreneur whose partnership with the NIH led to the mapping of the human genome—unlocking new insights about ourselves and our common humanity. I'll always be grateful for the chance to know him and learn from him. His legacy will endure with every new discovery built on his lifetime of research and innovation.

This Earth Day, I am thinking about the images from the Artemis II crew of our planet hanging in the blackness of space, small and irreplaceable. We only get one. It’s up to all of us to protect it. (Thanks again to @AstroReid for this INCREDIBLE video of Earth)

Congratulations @ChelseaClinton for setting a new personal best in the @bostonmarathon! We're so proud of you — today and every day! x.com/runnersworld/s…

Elliot Engel was a tireless advocate for his constituents, an indispensable ally for me on domestic and international issues, a true friend and a fine man. I am grateful for his life of service and will miss him very much.

A great in-depth look at the real progress being made in the fight against overdoses and addiction in San Francisco, which I’ve seen for myself on the ground. We and our partners in the Clinton Foundation’s Overdose Response Network are proud to support the efforts in the Bay Area and throughout California, and we applaud the critical leadership of Mayor @DanielLurie and @CAgovernor Newsom. Let’s keep it going! nytimes.com/2026/04/06/opi…

Once again, the best college hoops teams prove there's nothing like March Madness to get our jaws dropping, our hearts racing, and our brackets busting. Congratulations to the Bruins and the Wolverines!

In 2014, President Clinton called the International Space Station and asked astronaut Reid Wiseman what he wanted Americans back on Earth to know. His answer: "This is science that's going to have a huge impact down the road." Today, Reid is commanding #ArtemisII — leading a crew farther from Earth than any humans have ever traveled. Congratulations to Christina Koch, Victor Glover, and Jeremy Hansen. Safe travels. 🌌 @NASA @NASAArtemis

Congratulations to Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen for traveling farther from Earth than any human beings in history; you make the rest of us proud! @NASA and their partners have always pushed the bounds of scientific discovery and today is no different. A momentous day for humankind! Safe travels, Artemis II. @NASAArtemis 📸: Commander Reid Wiseman

I’ll never forget Dr. Birute Mary Galdikas and my 2014 visit to her Orangutan Foundation’s facilities in Borneo. She leaves an immense legacy of conservation and care, and she’ll be sorely missed.

Today, on the 30th anniversary of his death, I'm remembering and giving thanks for the life of my friend Ron Brown—a good man, trusted advisor, great DNC chair, and one of the finest Commerce Secretaries in American history.

I've been so inspired watching the Paralympics over the last 10 days. Well done to everyone who has competed for your incredible athleticism, determination, and sportsmanship. To Team USA—you've made our country proud, and I wish you much continued success.

My statement on today’s deposition.

As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing—I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals.

Reverend Jackson never stopped working for a better America with brighter tomorrows. Hillary’s and my full statement on the passing of our dear friend:

Lee Hamilton was a national treasure whose decades of service in Congress improved the lives of the people of Indiana and strengthened America’s security and standing in the world. And his important work after leaving elected office, including as Vice Chair of the 9/11 Commission, showed just how much we can contribute as private citizens. I liked and respected him very much and give thanks for his long, good life. My thoughts are with his family.

What DOJ has released thus far, and the manner in which it has done so, makes one thing clear: someone or something is being protected. We don’t know who, what, or why. We do know this: we need no such protection. It's why only the Clintons have called for a public hearing.

I will not sit idly as they use me as a prop in a closed-door kangaroo court by a Republican Party running scared. If they want answers, let’s stop the games & do this the right way: in a public hearing, where the American people can see for themselves what this is really about.

Now, Chairman Comer says he wants cameras, but only behind closed doors. Who benefits from this arrangement? It’s not Epstein’s victims, who deserve justice. Not the public, who deserve the truth. It serves only partisan interests. This is not fact-finding, it’s pure politics.

I have called for the full release of the Epstein files. I have provided a sworn statement of what I know. And just this week, I’ve agreed to appear in person before the committee. But it’s still not enough for Republicans on the House Oversight Committee.

NEW: The Clintons have both agreed to testify in the Epstein investigation in February, and are asking for PUBLIC hearings. Comer had demanded this AM that depositions be on video.
