Hillary Clinton reacts during aftermath of Epstein deposition photo being leaked as she's questioned

Описание: The House Oversight Committee released the full depositions of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton centered on the committee’s investigation into the Epstein files on Monday.

The release of their testimonies come after the pair separately testified before the committee in closed-door meetings last week. The footage shared showed that the couple faced more than four hours of questioning each.

“The American people have a lot of questions. To my knowledge, the Clintons haven't answered very many, if any, questions about their knowledge or involvement with Epstein and Maxwell,” Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said Thursday before the deposition started.

“No one’s accusing, at this moment, the Clintons of any wrongdoing. They’re going to have due process."

Jeffrey Epstein was found guilty of sex trafficking minors in 2019 and died in prison that same year.

Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's associate, is currently serving time in prison. She was moved to a prison in Texas from Florida. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted on child sex trafficking charges.

FORMER SENATOR AND SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY CLINTON'S DEPOSITION

Hillary maintained that she had never even met Epstein throughout the deposition.

In her opening statement, Hillary accused the committee of using her and her husband as a distraction from President Donald Trump, who is heavily mentioned in the government documents.

"[Y]ou have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump's actions and cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers," she wrote in the statement.

"If this committee is serious about learning the truth about Epstein's trafficking crimes, it would not rely on press gaggles to get answers from our current president on his involvement; it would ask him directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein files," she continued.

Jeffrey Epstein donated $20,000 to Clinton's senatorial campaign, according to the deposition.

Clinton was about if she had any recollection of a donation made by Epstein to Clinton’s joint Senate Democratic campaign in 1999.

“My understanding of the rules back then is that there was no coordination between the committee and the campaign. So, no, I have no recollection,” Hillary said.

Clinton was asked about a possible suggestion to Pizzagate conspiracy in the Epstein files as well.

A committee member asked Clinton if her review of email correspondence in the Epstein files revealed to her that language used may have any ties to a conspiracy theory that a child sex trafficking ring was being operated out of a pizzeria.

“Pizzagate was totally made up,” Hillary said.
