Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was visibly outraged after learning that photos from her deposition had been leaked on social media.
While Clinton was answering questions about her relationship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, her counsel suddenly interjected, demanding to know how it was consistent with the rules of the closed deposition. Clinton’s calm disposition instantly changed, and she angrily threatened to walk out of the deposition and cease her cooperation.
“If you guys are doing that, I am done,” she said. “You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home. This is just typical behavior. For Heaven’s sake!”
“It doesn’t matter, we are all abiding by the same rules,” Clinton responded after someone started to try and explain, slamming her fist on the table in the process. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) had leaked the photo.
“I’m done, for now,” she concluded after her counsel recommended a break, and the camera cut.
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released video recordings of the depositions of former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton last week, totaling over nine hours.
House Republicans viewed the former president’s testimony more favorably and considered it less hostile than his wife’s. Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) openly praised Bill Clinton’s deposition as “productive” and revealed that he “answered every question, or attempted to answer every question.”

“Everybody knows President Clinton. … He’s got Southern people skills and he’s a charming individual, obviously,” Comer responded when asked by reporters why he thought Bill Clinton’s testimony was more respectful than Hillary Clinton’s.
The former president and first lady were the two highest-ranking officials in U.S. history to testify to Congress over a subpoena.
