Hillary Clinton's closed-door deposition in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation was paused after a right-wing influencer shared a photo of her during the proceedings, allegedly provided by GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert, sparking accusations of House rule violations.
Hillary Clinton's closed-door deposition concerning Jeffrey Epstein was abruptly halted when MAGA influencer Benny Johnson posted a photo of Clinton on X, claiming it was provided by GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert. Clinton's adviser, Nick Merrill, confirmed the pause to investigate the photo's origin, citing potential violations of House rules for the private proceedings. While Boebert defended Johnson's post, she did not explicitly confirm sending the photo, though Johnson stated she had given him permission. Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia condemned the photo sharing as 'unacceptable' and a breach of committee rules. Clinton, who denies any wrongdoing and is not accused of crimes related to Epstein, stated in her opening remarks that she never met Epstein, flew on his plane, or visited his properties. She also criticized the committee for not taking the inquiry seriously and called for Donald Trump to be questioned under oath about his connections to Epstein, despite Trump not being accused of wrongdoing and having ceased their friendship years prior to Epstein's conviction. Rep. Nancy Mace also questioned Clinton about her husband, Bill Clinton, and Epstein, to which Clinton refused to speculate on matters she wasn't present for.
