Clinton's Testimony on Epstein and Maxwell

Hillary Clinton recently provided testimony in a private session with the House Oversight Committee, which is investigating Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged sexual misconduct. In her opening remarks shared online, Clinton expressed that she was completely unaware of the criminal activities involving Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, stating she did not remember ever meeting Epstein.

Representative James Walkinshaw from Virginia noted that it was confirmed during the testimony that Clinton had no relationship with Maxwell. Clinton clarified that her only connection to Maxwell was through a mutual acquaintance, Ted Waitt, and she could not recall any direct interactions with her.

Interestingly, Ghislaine Maxwell was present at Chelsea Clinton's wedding on July 31, 2010, in Rhinebeck, New York. Photos from the event show Maxwell in the background as Bill Clinton escorted Chelsea down the aisle. Maxwell attended as the guest of her then-boyfriend, billionaire Ted Waitt, who was a significant donor to the Clinton Foundation and a close friend of Bill Clinton. There is no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein was at the wedding.

Clinton also criticized the GOP-led committee, suggesting that their focus on her testimony was a diversion from President Donald Trump's connections to Epstein. She accused Republicans of prioritizing the protection of a political party and an individual over seeking justice for the victims.

Controversy Surrounding Clinton's Deposition Images

The deposition faced a brief interruption when influencer Benny Johnson posted a photo from inside the session. Representative Lauren Boebert confirmed she was the one who took the picture, stating it was captured before the hearing commenced, while Johnson claimed he had permission to share it. The committee later confirmed that the deposition was being recorded, with both video and transcript expected to be made public shortly after the session resumed.
