Overview
- In a closed-door session in Chappaqua, Hillary Clinton said she does not recall ever meeting Jeffrey Epstein and never used his plane, island, homes or offices, publishing her statement on X.
- A photo from the restricted hearing was leaked online, prompting a brief pause in proceedings, with reporting attributing the image to Rep. Lauren Boebert.
- Clinton urged the House Oversight Committee to question President Trump under oath, as Democrats pressed for answers on media reports that Justice Department releases omitted or redacted Epstein-related materials.
- The Justice Department has said only duplicate, privileged or ongoing-investigation documents were withheld, while Democrats seek further review of alleged missing FBI interview records referencing an accusation against Trump.
- Committee Republicans said the inquiry does not allege wrongdoing by the Clintons and declined to summon Trump; Bill Clinton was scheduled to appear Friday after the couple agreed to testify following contempt threats.
