Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified before the House Oversight Committee, stating she never interacted with Jeffrey Epstein and criticized the committee for repeatedly asking the same questions. The inquiry, led by Republicans, focused on the federal handling of investigations into Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Clinton argued that the questioning was politically motivated to distract from President Trump’s actions. She expressed frustration over the repeated questioning and a leaked photo from the closed-door session. Clinton emphasized she had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes and challenged the committee to present evidence if they had any. The deposition video was released by the committee, highlighting Clinton’s insistence on her lack of involvement with Epstein.
