First on the fox: On Tuesday, the House of Representatives Supervision Committee issued a copy of 120 pages for the deposition of former Public Prosecutor Bill Bar, and it appears to confirm the claims of Republicans that the former Ministry of Justice official (Doj) had no knowledge of any experimental relations between President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
This is despite the largest Democrats in the committee that claims last month that the full text did not allow Trump to commit any violations.
The Supervisory Committee in the House of Representatives is investigating the treatment of the Ministry of Justice in the Ibstein case, as it has called many people and entities in this process.
Among them Bar, who told the investigators that he had two conversations with Trump about Epstein – once after he committed suicide by the late sexual crimes, and was unable to put it again.

Barr also denied that Trump, through any views of the DOJ’s Epstein probe, did not provide the state’s instructions or preferences in his behavior, according to the copy obtained by Fox News Digital.
During a line of interrogation led by MP Yasmine Crocate, D-TEXAS, Bar said that he had never remembered Trump’s saying his name appeared in two-way documents.
“I am curious about knowing, in those conversations you remember with the president, do you remember that he was informed that he was in Epstein’s files at all, number one?” Crochet request, according to the version.
“Well, I am not sure of what” Epstein files “indicate these days. But, no, I was not – I did not see this type of conversation with him. I think that at some point his records were published to be on board Epsin, or I remember that between Miami, New York, Miami, New Jersey or things like that, and I think this might remember that.

Then he asked Crocate: “You have no direct knowledge of any of the young women or women who claimed that they face them with the president through Epstein, right?”
“I was not informed that there is evidence to support this claim,” said Bar, according to the copy.
Barr was later told the investigators that he believed that any experimental evidence about Trump had leaked if he was present, and indicated that the same was true for former President Bill Clinton, who was, like Trump, also friendly with Epstein at some point.
“I think it will appear if there is any feeling that, inside the government, on both sides, someone was covering up. I think he would go out. I mean, [the Southern District of New York] Bar-New York-is also known to be home to many, and a lot of leakage in investigations.
One of the censorships at home asked, “Therefore, in your experience, you have no doubt, if the general prosecutors of the SDny saw evidence of a crime, they would have followed this evidence, and if it led to an accusation, it will compose them, and if it leads to condemnation, they will follow the facts they lead. Is this fair?”

Bar said that he would have expected such moves, even for prominent individuals.
“I also feel, as you know, as you know, they have done the same for Clendon, I think,” he said.
“I think – as you know, remember, these things also continued under the president [Joe] Biden administration, and they were looking for something to bring him against President Trump, and this-if they had evidence, it would be low fruits. I am just no – I have never informed the evidence, and I am skeptical about the existence of anything. “
However, the former Trump administration official acknowledged, “I think it is possible that SDNY did not tell me, as you know, how deep they are in investigating certain individuals. This will not surprise me.”
Bar added: “In the same manner, I feel that my view is this position and the people concerned will be, if they have evidence of proving a crime, they will follow it in this way.”
The party spark flew after a bar after the Great Democratic Certificate of the House of Representatives Supervision Committee, Representative Robert Garcia, extended California, argued that his statements did not purify Trump from committing any violations.
“[T]Be clear, yesterday, while depositing the committee, the Public Prosecutor could not remove President Trump Trump from making violations. president [James Comer, R-Ky.,] Garcia wrote in a statement in a August statement.
But it seems that the text shows that, at least to remember a bar, Trump was not associated with two papers in any criminal responsible way.
Among the two conversations with Trump regarding Epstein, Bar said: “One of them was when I heard of suicide. I called him and said:“ You are preparing for this better, and I told him words in this sense, and I told him that and told him that we will achieve in this chest, or what happened in that, this happened after it happened at that time, this will achieve that, it will verify that.
The version also showed that Par defends the current public prosecutor Bam Bondi, and according to what was reported, Trump was that his name appeared in Epstein’s files in recent months as a record.
“I think this will usually be what the public prosecutor will do, as you know, to give the president presidents if something will happen in this way, which is the issuance of documents that have his name, and this will be, as you know, many-there will be a lot of speculation on this topic.”
“It is quite normal to tell the CEO that his name is about to release him. There is nothing wrong with his nature.”

Bar did not remember many details of the investigation all the time, but at some point he confessed that there were deficiencies in the Federal Investigation. More specifically, describing the period when the authorities have not been able to locate the Ghislaine Maxwell as “embarrassing”.
Despite the outbreak of the controversy over the Ministry of Justice, which announced that the case was closed earlier this year, Barr rejected any conspiracy theories about the death of Epstein.
“Certainly,” he answered when asked whether he was still believed to be Epstein committed suicide.
