Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton walked out of a closed-door deposition with the House Oversight Committee insisting, over and over, that she “did not know Jeffrey Epstein,” saying she never visited his island, homes, or offices and had no communications with him after more than six hours of questioning. Her repeated denials came in the wake of public interest in the newly released Epstein files and the Clinton name being referenced in some materials, which has kept this scandal alive in the public eye.
Clinton angrily criticized Republicans for insisting the interview be private, telling reporters it was “disappointing” the committee refused a public hearing and that the deposition had to be temporarily halted when an agreed rule was violated by a leak. Americans who pay attention to government oversight should be alarmed when high-profile testimony is conducted behind closed doors and then punctuated by secrecy and procedural chaos.
She tried to blunt the optics by describing Ghislaine Maxwell as merely a casual acquaintance and insisting Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton’s 2010 wedding only as a plus-one of a guest, while reiterating her confidence that Bill Clinton’s relationship with Epstein had ended well before Epstein’s criminal conduct became known. Those factual claims are Clinton’s to make, but they do not erase the uncomfortable questions that persist about associations and the power networks that enabled Epstein.
The testimony reportedly took strange turns, with Clinton saying she was even asked about UFOs and the debunked “Pizzagate” conspiracy as the line of questioning grew repetitive and unfocused, according to multiple accounts. That kind of scattershot interrogation does nothing to reassure the public that this investigation is serious and not a political theater designed to distract or protect.
The Oversight Committee has signaled this is not over: Republicans made clear they plan to press further, with Bill Clinton slated to be deposed next, and the committee chairman insisting that the American people deserve answers about the investigations and the investigators. If the goal is truth, then depositions, documents, and video should be released promptly so voters can judge for themselves rather than relying on spin from either side.
Patriotic Americans should demand real accountability, not closed-door theater and talking points. Conservatives must push for full transparency, public testimony, and a thorough airing of the facts so that powerful elites are not allowed to hide behind private rooms and legal teams while ordinary citizens are left with only whispered denials.
