Hillary Clinton's deposition in House Epstein investigation ends after over six hours of questioning

(26 Feb 2026) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ++SOUNDBITES SEPARATED BY BLACK FRAMES++ ASSOCIATED PRESS Chappaqua, New York - 26 February 2026 1. SOUNDBITE (English) Hillary Clinton, Former U.S. Secretary of State: "At the end, quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate, one of the most vile, bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the internet, that was serving as the basis of a member's questions to me. So I can only say that the best exchange that I had came at the very end when contrary to every other deposition they have taken, no Republican member asked any question about Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell to anyone else they have deposed. And in fact, the Republican members didn't even show up for the deposition of Les Wexner. " ++BLACK FRAMES++ 2. SOUNDBITE (English) Hillary Clinton, Former U.S. Secretary of State: "I had to point out that the only questions that any Republican member asked of any of the people they deposed was of former Attorney General Bill Barr when Chairman Comer asked him about the allegations, in his view about Russia's involvement in my election in 2016. So at the very end of this hearing, after I made that point, I want to commend Chairman Comer for raising a series of significant questions that I responded to about the nature of the investigation and the areas that I thought should be explored. So I appreciated that. I want to see the truth come out so that was, a reassuring way to end a very long, repetitive, deposition." ++BLACK FRAMES++ 3. SOUNDBITE (English) Hillary Clinton, Former U.S. Secretary of State: " I think the chronology of the connection that he (referring to her husband Bill Clinton) had with Epstein ended years, several years before anything about Epstein's criminal activities came to light and, and that he was charged and sadly given a sweetheart deal, which as I said in my statement had that not happened, perhaps his predatory behavior could have been stopped earlier. But I think it is fair to say that the vast majority of people who had contact with him before his criminal pleas in '08, were like most people. They did not know what he was doing. And I think that that is exactly what my husband will testify to tomorrow." ++BLACK FRAMES++ 4. SOUNDBITE (English) Hillary Clinton, Former U.S. Secretary of State: "They had ahance to do it in public, and I wish they had done it in public. And I think, they're making the wrong decision avoiding doing it in public. I thought it was very repetitive. I thought that they asked literally the same question over and over again, which didn't seem to me to be very productive. And then, as I said toward the end, you know, there were other questions that were totally off subject. So if they are going to fulfill their responsibilities to literally investigate the investigations which is what they originally said was the scope of their work, I think they could have spent the day more productively." 5.

SOUNDBITE (English) Hillary Clinton, Former U.S. Secretary of State: ++BEGINS ON PREVIOUS SHOT++ "I don't know when the video (of the deposition) will be out. I don't know when the transcript will be out. We've asked that they be out as quickly as possible and then you can you can see everything. Thank you." ++CONTINUOUS SHOT++ 7.
