Hillary Clinton's deposition before the House Oversight Committee on February 26, 2026, in Chappaqua, New York, was temporarily halted after Representative Lauren Boebert leaked a photograph of Clinton testifying, which was subsequently posted online by a podcaster. Clinton's attorneys objected, citing her request for a public hearing and the perceived partisan nature of the investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Clinton, who stated she never met Epstein and has no knowledge of his activities, accused Republicans of using her for political theater to distract from other matters. Democrats on the committee expressed skepticism about Clinton's relevance to the investigation, with one noting she "doesn't know much" and questioning the committee's focus, particularly regarding Epstein's fundraising for the Clinton Global Initiative during her time as senator. The deposition resumed approximately 30 minutes later, with former President Bill Clinton scheduled to testify the following day.
