Republicans are staring at a historic moment and they must act like it. Former President Bill Clinton was scheduled to sit for a closed-door deposition on February 27, 2026 in Chappaqua as part of the House Oversight Committee’s probe into Jeffrey Epstein, and lawmakers should treat this as a legal and political test of their competence. This isn’t theater — it’s a chance to pry loose facts from a powerful, well-insulated political family and the country expects them to deliver.
The day before, Hillary Clinton’s testimony on February 26, 2026 was briefly derailed when a photo taken inside the deposition room surfaced online after being shared with a conservative influencer, forcing a pause and renewed scrutiny of committee rules. Whether you cheer or sneer at the leak, the reality is simple: Republicans must have their procedural game in order so a single gaffe doesn’t hand Democrats a narrative win. The Clintons had demanded openness, yet the committee rightly insisted on a controlled, transcribed process that protects the integrity of the investigation.
During her session, Hillary Clinton again denied knowing Jeffrey Epstein and said her husband’s associations with Epstein ended years before Epstein’s crimes became public, answers that left many with more questions than comfort. Republicans on the committee, including members who have watched the transcript closely, rightly flagged selective memory and evasive answers where specifics mattered. The American people deserve clarity, not talking points — and any repetition of “I don’t recall” must be met with persistent follow-up and documentary pressure.
Chairman Comer set the tone months ago by threatening contempt if the Clintons continued to dodge subpoenas, and Republicans should not shy away from enforcing the law when witnesses stonewall. This is about accountability, not revenge; when a committee subpoenas testimony, it is the solemn duty of members to compel cooperation and ensure records and sworn testimony are preserved. Smart Republicans will focus on getting recorded, transcribed answers out into the light and on using lawful tools to hold anyone accountable who obstructs the process.
Conservative legal voices on Newsmax and other outlets — including Trump attorney Christina Bobb and commentators who appeared on programs like American Agenda — have been warning Republicans to be shrewd, precise, and disciplined in how they handle the Clintons’ depositions. The media circus and partisan spin are inevitable, so House Republicans must control the facts, not the spin, and avoid giving the left easy excuses to dismiss the probe as mere political theater. That means meticulous preparation, document-backed questions, and an unshakeable commitment to procedure.
The committee is recording and transcribing these sessions for a reason — the paper trail matters and it can survive liberal media gaslighting. Republicans should aggressively seek the release of transcripts where legally appropriate, push for related documents, and coordinate messaging so the public sees that this is about victims, evidence, and accountability rather than partisan revenge. If they do their jobs, they’ll force uncomfortable truths into the open and demonstrate that no amount of fame or fortune places someone above the rule of law.
Now is the time for Republicans to prove they can govern with spine and sophistication. Work the witnesses, tighten the process, protect victims, and make the case to the American people that this probe is about justice — not political theater. Hardworking patriots expect nothing less than courage and common sense from their elected leaders, and anything short of that would be a betrayal of the public trust.
