Hillary Clinton to appear for Epstein deposition before House panel today

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Committee in New York on Thursday for a deposition related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, as part of the committee's ongoing investigation into connections between Epstein and powerful figures. The deposition marks a significant development in the House Oversight Committee's investigation into Epstein's network and relationships with influential individuals. Committee members are expected to question Clinton about any interactions she may have had with Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. This testimony occurs at a politically sensitive time, with the 2024 presidential campaign already underway. Clinton, who served as Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013 and was the Democratic presidential nominee in 2016, has previously stated she had only met Epstein on a few occasions and regretted those meetings. The Epstein investigation has drawn attention to how powerful individuals may have enabled Epstein's abuse despite knowing about his history.
