Former President Bill Clinton did not address the media after his deposition in Chappaqua on Friday in front of a congressional committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein.
Democrats say he remained composed throughout the testimony. Republicans called it "productive."
"We believe this was a very productive deposition. I will have to say that President Clinton answered every question or attempted to answer every question," said Rep. James Comer (R-KY).
This brings an end to a historic two days of closed-door testimonies from Bill and Hillary Clinton in front of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
"Bill's very calm, deliberate. He was very thorough," said Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA).
In an opening statement, Clinton said he had no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing.
The Clintons haven't been accused of any wrongdoing.
However, Republicans say they have questions about the former president's contact with Epstein.
"Jeffrey Epstein was in the White House 17 times when Bill Clinton was president. We know Bill Clinton flew on Jeffrey Epstein's plane at least 27 times, so those are questions we're going to ask," Comer said.
Meanwhile, Democrats are again pushing for President Donald Trump to testify.
"We are now asking and demanding that President Trump officially come in and testify in front of the oversight committee," said Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA).
As of Friday evening, the recording and transcripts from the depositions hadn't been released.
Both Republicans and Democrats have been saying the goal is to have them made public within 24 hours.
