Overview
- In opening remarks, Hillary Clinton said she had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s or Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes, did not recall meeting Epstein, and never flew on his plane or visited his properties.
- The deposition was briefly halted after conservative influencer Benny Johnson posted a photo he said came from Rep. Lauren Boebert, a breach of the committee’s no-photos rule.
- Bill Clinton is scheduled to testify on Friday in Chappaqua, which would mark the first time a former president has been forced to appear before Congress.
- Committee leaders said the transcribed interview and video would be released after legal review, maintaining a closed format despite Clinton’s push for a public hearing.
- Republicans said they are seeking answers about the Clintons’ contacts with Epstein as Democrats pressed to question President Trump under oath; neither Clinton has been accused of wrongdoing.
