Government Legal
Event Summary

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton underwent a six-and-a-half-hour closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee regarding her family's past ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Clinton denied any knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities and criticized the Republican-led committee for conducting the interview in private and for its partisan nature. The deposition was marked by a brief halt after a photo from inside the room was leaked on social media by Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert. Committee Chairman James Comer stated the discussion was 'productive' and that Hillary Clinton frequently referred questions to her husband, Bill Clinton, who is scheduled to testify next. Democrats, including Rep. Yassamin Ansari and Rep. Robert Garcia, condemned the proceedings as a 'clown show' and called for transparency.
