Newly released deposition footage from the House Oversight Committee shows just how tense things got when Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton were questioned about their connections to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein — and let’s just say, it wasn’t exactly a calm afternoon.
Video reveals Hillary nearly storming out after Rep. Lauren Boebert snapped an unsanctioned photo of her during testimony. Hillary, visibly furious, slammed the table and declared, “I am done with this if you guys are doing this, I’m done.” Always classy under pressure, right?
She also lashed out over references to “Pizzagate,” calling it a fabricated conspiracy and blaming it for the 2016 shooting at Comet Ping Pong in Washington, D.C. Hillary scolded lawmakers for even bringing it up, stopping just short of a full lecture.
Things didn’t get any calmer when Rep. Nancy Mace pressed Hillary about Epstein-related emails, including one showing Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick inviting Epstein to a Clinton campaign fundraiser in 2015. Hillary insisted she didn’t know Epstein and explained her relationship with Lutnick stemmed from his losses during the September 11 attacks. When Mace tried to interrupt, Hillary snapped back, reminding everyone she had been “taking care of the people that lost 3,000 lives.”
Meanwhile, Bill Clinton appeared visibly shaken during his deposition, with his hands trembling as he addressed longstanding questions about his association with Epstein. Bill testified that Donald Trump once mentioned Epstein during a charity golf tournament in New York, saying they had “great times together” before falling out over a real estate deal.
Trump later commented on the spectacle, saying he didn’t like seeing Bill Clinton deposed but noted the Clintons had “certainly went after me a lot more than that.” Trump has acknowledged knowing Epstein in the past but has consistently denied any involvement in or knowledge of Epstein’s crimes, stating they had a falling out years ago.
The footage paints a picture of a political dynasty clearly rattled by tough questioning and public scrutiny — something Americans know well from watching the Clintons dodge controversy for decades.
At least now, thanks to transparency and a fearless Congress, the public gets to see what really happens when the powerful are finally put on the hot seat. And that, whether they like it or not, is a win for accountability.
