Former US president Bill Clinton distanced himself from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in closed-door depositions with politicians, according to videos that were released on Monday.

The recordings of the depositions, which spanned hours over two days last week, show how Mr Clinton told the committee he had ended his relationship with Epstein years before the financier entered a 2008 guilty plea to soliciting prostitution from an underage girl.
