Republicans HAVE been on her case for Years to embarrass her….
Instead….
Having fanally gotten her in front of them?
(With the help of Democratic lawmakers )
They get NOTHING….
And NO credit for their efforts…
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified that she has no new information regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activities during a deposition before the House Oversight Committee on Thursday.
Why it matters: Bill and Hillary Clinton’s depositions on Thursday and Friday mark the first time a former first couple has appeared before a congressional panel under subpoena.
- They cap a months-long standoff with House Republicans that nearly led to the Clintons being held in contempt of Congress.
- “You 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 to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers,” Hillary Clinton said in her opening statement to lawmakers.
- Clinton, who has long maintained that she has little information to offer the panel about Epstein, also told lawmakers that she is “horrified” to learn about Epstein and Maxwell’s crimes and that her “heart breaks for the survivors.”
- “The American people have a lot of questions… The Clintons haven’t answered very many, if any, questions about their knowledge or involvement with Epstein and [Ghislaine] Maxwell, “ Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) told reporters Thursday morning before the deposition.
Clinton told the panel Thursday that she does not recall ever meeting Epstein, and told the New York Times that she met Maxwell only a few times.
- Her name does not appear to have been mentioned in the Justice Department’s publicly released Epstein files.
The latest: Democrats on the committee came out roughly two hours into the deposition to say that Clinton is being cooperative, and reiterated that she has little new information to share….
…
- Comer acknowledged that “no one’s accusing the Clintons of any wrongdoing, adding, “They’re going to have due process.”
….
Oversight will work to get the transcript and video of the deposition released to the public as soon as possible, Comer said Wednesday.
