House Oversight Releases Video Showing Hillary Clinton Walk Out of Epstein Deposition After Alleged Photo Leak
The Republican‑led House Oversight Committee released full videos of closed‑door depositions of Hillary and Bill Clinton held in Chappaqua, N.Y., and the footage of Hillary shows her briefly storming out after a Republican lawmaker allegedly leaked a photo from inside the room — she returned and ultimately completed several hours of testimony. In the deposition Clinton says she does not recall encountering Jeffrey Epstein, describes Ghislaine Maxwell as a "casual acquaintance," accuses the committee of politicizing the probe, and full written transcripts have not yet been released.
📌 Key Facts
- Clinton’s prepared opening remarks state: 'I do not recall ever encountering Jeffrey Epstein' and that she never engaged with him nor flew on his plane.
- She accuses the GOP‑led House Oversight Committee of compelling her testimony to 'distract attention from President Trump's actions and to cover them up,' rather than to fix systemic failures that let Epstein evade justice.
- Oversight Chair James Comer publicly reiterates that 'no one's accusing, at this moment, the Clintons of any wrongdoing' while saying the committee has 'a lot of questions' about Epstein’s fundraising for the Clinton Foundation and Ghislaine Maxwell’s presence at Chelsea Clinton’s 2010 wedding.
- Rep. Nancy Mace is identified as the first lawmaker to question Clinton; she plans to ask about Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and other Epstein‑linked names, highlighting intra‑GOP dynamics around the files.
- Logistical detail: both parties traveled to Chappaqua, N.Y., for in‑person two‑day depositions of Hillary and Bill Clinton under an agreement with their lawyers.
- The Republican‑led House Oversight Committee has released the full video of Hillary Clinton’s closed‑door deposition conducted on Thursday.
- Clinton says portions of the questioning veered into topics like UFOs, aliens and the 'Pizzagate' conspiracy theory, which she characterizes as a devolving of the hearing.
- On camera, she acknowledges Ghislaine Maxwell as a 'casual acquaintance' but reiterates that she was not aware at the time of any 'nefarious activities' by Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein.
- Republican‑led House Oversight Committee has released the full video of former President Bill Clinton’s closed‑door deposition in its Epstein probe.
- The deposition lasted about 4.45 hours and was conducted under subpoena, making this the first time a current or former U.S. president has been compelled to testify to Congress in this way.
