House Republicans showed up in force outside the Chappaqua deposition site today, led by Oversight Chairman James Comer, to press for answers Americans have been denied for years. The scene was deliberate — a public display that the committee intends to hold powerful figures accountable, not hide behind procedural niceties. This was not theater for the cameras; it was a warning that Washington’s old rules of protection for the elite are changing.
The Clintons agreed — after intense pressure — to sit for recorded, transcribed depositions in their own hometown on February 26 and 27, an arrangement Republicans say accommodates schedules but preserves congressional authority. After months of delay and rhetoric, the depositions will finally move forward in Chappaqua, where too many questions about Epstein’s network have gone unanswered. Ordinary Americans deserve transparency, not preferential treatment for political royalty.
Chairman Comer and his Republican colleagues made plain why they’re pressing: this probe is about how Epstein amassed influence, who enabled him, and whether justice was worked around for wealthy and well-connected people. Conservatives rightly demand that no one — no matter their name or fame — be placed above the law, and Republicans are answering that call with real investigatory muscle. This is about protecting victims and restoring trust in institutions that have too often shielded insiders.
Make no mistake: the Clintons initially resisted the subpoenas and fought tooth and nail to avoid these depositions, forcing the House to consider contempt and other enforcement tools. That standoff only fueled public suspicion and reinforced the perception that elites expect different rules. Republicans pushed back, and now the American people will get at least some measure of the answers they’ve been denied.
The depositions will be closed-door but recorded and transcribed, a compromise that still allows Congress to preserve sensitive testimony while making a permanent record that can be used for accountability. For survivors and for citizens who have watched powerful figures skate by for decades, those records matter — they can’t be buried or erased by the next political cycle. If Washington refuses to turn over the truth, then the truth will force its way into the light.
Patriots who love this country should cheer a committee willing to take on the powerful and push for answers. This isn’t about partisan revenge — it’s about the rule of law and respect for victims, and Republicans are seizing a rare moment to prove they mean it. The Clintons must answer plainly and completely, and if the answers raise further questions, Congress must follow the facts wherever they lead. No more protection for the elite; accountability now for the American people.
