Emerging from a grueling six-hour examination, Hillary Clinton launched a sharp critique of the Republican strategy in the Jeffrey Epstein probe, her voice laced with frustration.
She described a relentless cycle of repetitive questioning, lamenting the decision to hold a closed-door deposition instead of a public hearing – a forum she now declared she would refuse to participate in.
The proceedings took an unexpected turn, she revealed, as inquiries veered into the realm of the bizarre, encompassing UFO sightings and the insidious Pizzagate conspiracy theory, a digital fabrication she deemed "one of the most vile, bogus…that was serving as the basis of a member's questions to me."
Clinton also questioned the Republicans' absence from the deposition of former Victoria's Secret CEO Leslie Wexner, a key figure in the unfolding narrative.
Amidst the criticism, a rare note of appreciation emerged for House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, acknowledging his probing questions regarding the investigation's scope and direction.
She steadfastly maintained her denial of knowing Jeffrey Epstein, characterizing her acquaintance with Ghislaine Maxwell as merely a fleeting connection – a "plus one of someone invited" to her daughter's wedding.
Republicans, however, painted a different picture. Chairman Comer stated that while Clinton answered "most of our questions," they remained ultimately unsatisfied with the information gleaned, noting the frequency with which she deflected inquiries by suggesting they be directed towards her husband.
Former President Bill Clinton is now slated to face questioning behind closed doors on Friday, an event Comer anticipates will be "even longer" than his wife’s testimony.
While neither Clinton is currently implicated in any wrongdoing, Bill Clinton’s past relationship with the late financier and sex trafficker has drawn intense scrutiny.
Hillary Clinton insisted that this relationship concluded "years, several years before" any awareness of Epstein's criminal activities surfaced.
One Republican representative expressed frustration with Clinton’s demeanor, describing her as "obstinate and sort of annoyed at the process," suggesting a pattern of involvement and association that demands answers from the American people.
The atmosphere within the deposition room was reportedly tense, a tension underscored by Representative Lauren Boebert’s apparent breach of protocol – sharing a photograph from inside the room with a right-wing influencer.
Clinton condemned this action as a violation of the agreed-upon rules, forcing a temporary halt to the proceedings until assurances were secured against further breaches.
Interestingly, leaks from within the room also emerged from Democratic sources, yet faced no apparent public repercussions.
Bill Clinton’s deposition is poised to begin Friday morning, promising another chapter in this complex and controversial investigation.
