Inside The Epstein Deposition — Hillary Clinton Reveals What She Was Asked

RNN Staff

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spent roughly six hours behind closed doors Thursday answering questions from the House Oversight Committee about her and former President Bill Clinton’s connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said Clinton “answered most of our questions,” but indicated that several of her responses left lawmakers unsatisfied. According to Comer, Clinton frequently deflected inquiries about the Clinton Global Initiative and her husband’s relationship with Epstein by saying Bill Clinton would be “a better person to ask.”

Comer teased that some of Clinton’s answers toward the end of the deposition were “very interesting” and pledged to release video of the testimony within 24 hours, along with a transcript once Clinton’s legal team reviews it. Bill Clinton is scheduled to testify under oath next.

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) said the deposition reinforced the need to question the former president directly. “If you really have specific questions about the Clinton Global Initiative or the relationship between the Clintons and Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, you have to ask Bill Clinton,” Gosar said.

Speaking to reporters afterward, Hillary Clinton dismissed the deposition as partisan “political theater.” She said she was asked repetitive questions and claimed Republicans brought up topics such as UFOs and the “pizzagate” conspiracy theory. Clinton reiterated that she does not recall ever meeting Epstein, was never on his private island, and had no knowledge of his sex-trafficking crimes.

She also addressed questions about Maxwell attending her daughter Chelsea’s 2010 wedding, which occurred after Maxwell had been named in a civil lawsuit by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre. Clinton said Maxwell attended as a “plus-one” of another invited guest but declined to identify that individual.

Democrats on the committee held a press conference during a brief recess, defending Clinton and criticizing Republicans. Ranking Member Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) said Clinton was “completely cooperating” and argued that if former presidents are being deposed, President Donald Trump should also answer questions under oath regarding his past association with Epstein.

Tensions escalated after Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) allegedly shared a photo from the closed-door deposition, which later circulated online. Clinton advisers said they were investigating whether House rules were violated. Boebert defended the move on social media, saying the deposition was proceeding and later quipping that she admired Clinton’s blue suit.

The Clintons had initially resisted the depositions after being subpoenaed last August, offering to provide written statements instead. After missing a scheduled January appearance and facing potential contempt proceedings, they ultimately agreed to testify under oath earlier this month.

The renewed scrutiny comes amid the Justice Department’s phased release of Epstein-related files, which include photos and emails documenting Epstein’s relationships with powerful figures. While neither Hillary nor Bill Clinton has been accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein’s crimes, Republicans say the public deserves clarity about how Epstein gained access to high-profile political leaders and institutions.

Bill Clinton’s testimony Friday is expected to draw even sharper focus on his documented travel aboard Epstein’s plane and his broader relationship with the late financier.
