BREAKING: Exclusive Footage of Hillary Clinton's Empty-Chair Deposition on Epstein Investigation

We'll go on the record. Good morning. This is a deposition of former Secretary Hillary R. Clinton conducted by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. On July 23rd, 2025, the Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement unanimously voted to approve a motion directing the committee to authorize and issue a subpoena to former Secretary Clinton for a deposition. I'm going to note for the record that former Secretary Clinton is not present. The time is 10:05. We are going to mark items for the record. We will mark as exhibit one a cover letter from Chairman Comr dated August 5th, 2025. Enclosing the deposition subpoena and email confirmation from former Secretary Clinton's attorney, David Kendall, accepting the letter and the subpoena. We will mark as exhibit two a letter dated October 6, 2025 from Mr. Kendall to Chairman Comr and ranking member Garcia. We will mark as exhibit three a letter dated October 22nd, 2025 from Chairman Comr to Mr. Kendall.

We will mark as exhibit 8 a letter dated December 15, 2025 from Chairman Comr to Mr. Kendall again urging his clients to appear and referencing that failure to appear will initiate the prospect of contempt proceedings.

We will mark as exhibit 9 the deposition postponement notice issued by the committee on December 16th, 2025.

We will mark as exhibit 13 a letter dated January 13, 2026 from former President William J. Clinton and former Secretary Hillary R. Clinton to Chairman Comr. I will note that the time is now 10:07 a.m. and former Secretary Clinton has still not appeared. Does the chairman wish to add anything to the record? >> Yes. Uh good morning. We're here today for the deposition of former Secretary Hillary Clinton and she did not appear. Just like her husband, Secretary Clinton is defying our duly authorized congressional subpoena. The oversight committee will also initiate contempt of Congress proceedings against the former Secretary of State for defying the law. >> Does council for the minority wish to add anything to the record? >> Yes. Thank you. Committee Democrats support cooperation with the committee and believe that anyone knowledge of the crimes of Epste and Maxwell or the actions of their co-conspirators should come forward and provide that information to the committee. That commitment flows directly from oversight Democrats determination to pursue the truth about the horrific crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell. No matter where the facts lead with today's proceeding, the majority has relentlessly pursued Secretary Clinton. The majority has taken no steps to enforce the duly issued bipartisan subpoena for the release of the full Epstein files in the possession of the Department of Justice. Nor has the majority move to compel numerous other witnesses with firstirhand knowledge of Epstein's criminal enterprise, including Epstein co-conspirator Delane Maxwell, to appear before this committee. Adding to these concerns is President Trump's direction to his attorney general, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, via a truth social post to initiate a criminal investigation into prominent Democrats, including President Clinton, to distract from his own close relationship with Jeffrey Epste. And President Trump likewise has for years famously and repeatedly demanded that DOJ investigate and prosecute Secretary Clinton. President Trump's targeting of the Clintons is part of a continuing pattern in which President Trump has weaponized the Department of Justice against his perceived political enemies, including among others, former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Leticia James, and most recently, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. Against that backdrop, oversight Democrats have grave concerns about the president's publicly stated expectation that DOJ and the FBI will incriminate leaders of the opposition party, as well as the president's demonstrated willingness to use the nation's law enforcement agencies to distract from his own lengthy relationship and interaction with Epste. Finally, yesterday the committee received factual declarations from former President Clinton and Secretary Clinton regarding their interactions with Jeffrey Epste. I'm entering those declarations both dated January 13, 2026 together as exhibit A committee. Democrats reaffirm that this investigation is not political and not partisan. Its purpose is truth and justice for the victims and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's horrific crimes. >> And with that, we will conclude. Before you before you go off the record, I I just have a comment or two. Um I guess my first com comment is more of a line of a question. Uh do our Democrat colleagues insist on the redactions that they have previously insisted upon in the plethora and trove of records that and documents that are being released or were scheduled to be released. That would be my first question. The second one was is regarding uh Delane Maxwell. Um I I've gone to federal prison to depose individuals. Is that which is that the proposal that we go to to the prison to depose her or is the proposal to transport her here uh be marshal and let her have her have a deposition before us? Those are two questions that um that come to mind when I heard your statement. So that that those are things that I I think I would like to have answered. You don't have to answer them now, but I hope that in the coming days we might get an answer from uh the ranking member of this committee. Thank you. >> And with that, we will conclude. It is 10:12 a.m. and we will go off the record.
