BREAKING: Photo Leaks Of Hillary Clinton Testifying Under Oath In Epstein Deposition

A photo circulating online Thursday purports to show former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton seated at a table and testifying under oath in a closed-door deposition related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The image was first shared by commentator Benny Johnson as the first image of Clinton answering questions about Epstein before a Republican-led congressional oversight committee. According to Johnson, the photo was provided by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO).

In his post, Johnson wrote that Clinton “does not look happy” and claimed this marked the first time she had been required to answer “real questions” about her past connections to Epstein. He later alleged that Clinton left the deposition after he posted the image, suggesting tensions surrounding the handling of the proceedings.

The deposition is reportedly being filmed and is expected to be released in full at a later date. Johnson claimed Clinton had previously wanted the testimony to be conducted live on television.

Epstein, who was arrested in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges, died in custody later that year. His connections to prominent political and business figures have fueled years of public speculation and congressional interest. While flight logs and visitor records have been scrutinized, no criminal charges have been brought against Clinton in connection with Epstein.

The deposition was paused shortly after the image was posted. Johnson claimed Clinton objected to the release of the photograph, though lawmakers have said the full deposition is being recorded and will be made public at a later date. The Oversight Committee is reportedly questioning Clinton about her past associations and any knowledge related to Epstein’s network.

Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to follow on Friday, capping months of resistance that nearly landed both Clintons in contempt of Congress.

The bipartisan probe has brought Republicans and Democrats together in a rare push for answers about Epstein’s network, his criminal enterprise and the well-connected people who moved in his circle.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), said he intends to release video and transcripts of the depositions as quickly as possible once the Clintons approve them.

The testimony comes after the committee voted unanimously last July to subpoena the former first couple. When the Clintons continued refusing to appear, the panel voted in January to hold both in contempt of Congress, a move that could have triggered a criminal referral to the Justice Department had it advanced to the House floor. Only then did the Clintons reverse course.

WATCH:

“We have a very clear record that we’ve been willing to talk about, which my husband has said he took some rides on Epstein’s airplane for his charitable work,” Clinton had told the BBC. “I don’t recall ever meeting him.”

She added, “They are accused, and in both cases, were convicted, of horrific crimes against girls and women. That should be the focus.”

The Clintons have long maintained they knew nothing about Epstein’s abuse and cut ties before the full scope of his crimes became public. They have also called for the complete release of the Epstein files.

“We have nothing to hide,” Hillary said. “We have called for the full release of these files repeatedly. We think sunlight is the best disinfectant.”

Still, Republicans have made clear they were not going to let the Clintons dodge sworn testimony forever.

In an eight-page letter sent in January explaining their initial refusal to cooperate, the Clintons wrote: “Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and its people, no matter the consequences. For us, now is that time.”

Hillary Clinton also demanded the testimony be held in public, accusing Republicans of turning the matter into political theater.

“For six months, we engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith. We told them what we know, under oath. They ignored all of it,” she wrote on social media. “So let’s stop the games. If you want this fight … let’s have it—in public.”

Committee Republicans pushed back, saying the Clintons’ lawyers accepted deposition terms at the last minute and then objected to standard video procedures.

Bill Clinton’s name has appeared for years in Epstein-related files and flight logs showing he traveled on Epstein’s jet, though he has denied ever visiting Epstein’s private island. No one other than Maxwell has been charged in connection with Epstein’s crimes, and appearing in the files does not by itself indicate criminal wrongdoing.
