UPDATE: In a dramatic turn of events, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton emerged from a six-hour closed-door deposition regarding Jeffrey Epstein to sharply criticize the Republican Party and their decision to keep her testimony out of the public eye. The questioning, which took place in Chappaqua, New York, has sparked immediate controversy and heightened scrutiny over the ongoing investigation.
Clinton, speaking to reporters shortly after her testimony concluded around 5 p.m.UFOs and Pizzagate, which she labeled as “one of the most vile, bogus conspiracy theories” circulating online. Despite the unusual line of questioning, she acknowledged the committee chairman, James Comer, for his focus on substantive issues, saying, “I want to see the truth come out.”
Clinton reiterated her lack of personal connection to Epstein and described her acquaintance with Ghislaine Maxwell as minimal, saying Maxwell was merely a “plus-one of someone invited” to her daughter’s wedding. This clarification comes as both Clintons face increased scrutiny over their past associations with Epstein, although neither has been accused of any wrongdoing.
Rep. William Timmons, who was present during the session, expressed his dissatisfaction, labeling Clinton as “obstinate” and suggesting that she provided excuses instead of direct answers. “The American people deserve answers,” Timmons insisted, alluding to the pressing need for transparency in light of Bill Clinton’s upcoming testimony, which Comer anticipates will be longer and more complex.
Tensions escalated during the deposition due to alleged rule violations by Rep. Lauren Boebert, who reportedly shared a photo from inside the closed hearing. Clinton remarked on the disruptions caused by this breach, emphasizing the importance of maintaining confidentiality during such sensitive proceedings.
The session began at 11 a.m.5 p.m.
