Hillary Clinton’s claim under oath that she “does not recall ever encountering” Jeffrey Epstein is a jaw‑dropping non-answer from a woman who once sat at the highest tables of power. Americans deserve straight talk, not scripted amnesia from elites who spend their lives rubbing shoulders with fortune and influence.
For months Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have pushed for accountability in a probe that should be about victims, not political theater, and yet Democrats treat these proceedings like an attack against the very idea of scrutiny. Closed‑door depositions only deepen the suspicion that the Clintons will be allowed to dodge real answers while the rest of us face consequences for far lesser failings.
This isn’t a one‑day sideshow: the questioning of the Clintons is a two‑day affair and former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to appear as well, giving Congress a rare chance to demand facts about who knew what and when. If transparency means anything in a republic, it must apply equally to all families that have wielded outsized influence in Washington.
Meanwhile, the heartbreaking disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC’s Savannah Guthrie, has gripped the nation as law enforcement pursues leads in what authorities believe may be an abduction. The image of an elderly woman taken from her home should unite Americans across the political divide and focus pressure on getting results instead of performing for cable cameras.
Abroad, the U.S. and Iran returned to the negotiating table in Geneva as tensions in the region rise and American forces are positioned to respond if diplomacy fails. This is not a time for appeasement; negotiating with a regime that repeatedly flouts international norms requires a credible threat of consequences paired with ironclad verification.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has made clear that Iran’s enrichment program is growing, edging toward levels that pose real proliferation risks, and that fact must frame every conversation about a deal. Conservatives should demand a posture that pairs persistent pressure with unambiguous red lines so that no future administration finds itself explaining how it allowed another nuclear threshold to be crossed.
