The House Oversight Committee has released videos of depositions featuring former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton regarding their connections to the late Jeffrey Epstein. The release marks a significant moment in the ongoing investigation into Epstein's crimes and the network of individuals associated with him.

Why it matters

The Clintons' connections to Epstein have drawn significant public and political attention, even as neither has been formally accused of wrongdoing. The depositions provide a rare glimpse into the high-profile investigation and highlight emerging trends in how such inquiries are conducted and publicized in the modern era.

The details

During her deposition, Hillary Clinton reportedly became visibly angered upon learning that a photograph of her from the proceedings had been leaked. She expressed her frustration forcefully, stating she was 'done' if the committee continued such behavior. The deposition also took a contentious turn when Representative Lauren Boebert questioned Hillary Clinton about 'Pizzagate,' a debunked conspiracy theory alleging a pedophile ring connected to Clinton operated from a Washington D.C. Pizzeria. Bill Clinton's deposition included questioning about his relationship with Epstein and a recollection of a conversation with Donald Trump from around 2003-2004, in which Trump described a falling out with Epstein over a real estate deal.

  • The depositions were released on March 2, 2026.
  • Bill Clinton's deposition lasted 4 hours and 33 minutes.
  • Hillary Clinton's deposition lasted 4 hours and 35 minutes.
