VIDEO: Hillary Clinton Storms Out Of Epstein Deposition After Photo Leak
A closed-door congressional deposition of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton descended into chaos Thursday after a photograph of her mid-testimony began circulating online, sparking a heated confrontation with Republican lawmakers and an abrupt pause in proceedings.
Clinton had agreed to appear before the House Oversight Committee as part of its ongoing inquiry into disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. The deposition was held at a performing arts center near the Clintons’ home in Chappaqua, New York, and was being conducted behind closed doors under standard House rules governing private testimony.
The situation escalated when a photo taken during the session surfaced on social media. The image was first posted by conservative commentator Benny Johnson and quickly spread across multiple platforms.
According to multiple reports, the photograph was provided by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), who was present inside the deposition room. Clinton’s legal team immediately objected, arguing that House rules prohibit members and witnesses from taking or distributing photographs during closed-door testimony.
The hearing was briefly paused as lawmakers and attorneys attempted to determine how the image had been captured and shared.
When Clinton returned to the room, tensions reportedly boiled over.
Video clips circulating online show Clinton visibly frustrated, raising her voice at members of the committee. At one point, she declared, “I am done with this. If you guys are doing that, I am done. You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home. This is just typical behavior. Oh, for heaven’s sake. We all are abiding by the same rules.”

“Pizzagate was totally made up, it was an outrageous allegation… I can’t believe you’re even referencing it… the QAnon people believe it,” Clinton said during the deposition.

According to a source familiar with the deposition, Clinton also pressed Chairman James Comer on whether members of the press could be allowed inside following the leak. Comer declined, maintaining that the session would remain closed in accordance with committee procedures.
The deposition resumed less than an hour later.
In her opening statement, Clinton sharply criticized Republicans for compelling her testimony in the first place. She argued that she had “no knowledge that would assist” the committee’s investigation and accused lawmakers of using the proceeding as a political distraction.
“If this committee is serious about learning the truth about Epstein’s trafficking crimes,” Clinton said, “it would not rely on press gaggles to get answers from our current president on his involvement; it would ask him directly under oath.”
Clinton also stated that she has “no information on Epstein’s criminal activities and never recalls meetings,” while questioning the committee’s priorities and broader direction.
Epstein’s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking. Former President Bill Clinton is expected to testify as the committee continues its inquiry.
The deposition was being officially recorded, though any authorized footage is expected to undergo review before release.
