Clintons Complete Closed-Door Epstein Depositions After First Subpoena of a Former President

Attention shifts to releasing the depositions under unresolved disputes over withheld DOJ records.

Overview

  • Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton finished sworn, closed-door questioning by the House Oversight Committee, with Bill Clinton’s appearance marking the first time a former president was compelled to testify to Congress under subpoena.
  • Bill Clinton said he “saw nothing” and “did nothing wrong,” and, when pressed on a hot tub photograph from the DOJ files, said he did not know the woman pictured and denied any sexual contact.
  • Hillary Clinton stated she had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes, did not recall meeting him, and never used his plane or visited his properties, and her deposition was briefly paused after Rep. Lauren Boebert posted an unauthorized photo from inside the room.
  • Committee leaders said video, audio and transcripts will be reviewed for release, Republicans defended the closed format, Democrats pressed for immediate publication and further witnesses, and calls intensified to question President Trump.
  • Oversight Democrats cited NPR’s finding that more than 50 pages of FBI interviews and notes appear missing from the public archive, underscoring continuing fights over redactions and withheld materials.
