URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared before U.S. House lawmakers on Thursday, telling members she had no knowledge of the crimes committed by disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The testimony came at the start of two days of closed-door depositions that will also include former President Bill Clinton.
“I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein,” Hillary Clinton said in an opening statement shared on social media.

That’s the official position: no knowledge, no recollection, no connection. Republicans on Capitol Hill, however, have made it clear they intend to examine every detail surrounding Epstein’s network and any possible links to powerful figures. For many conservatives, the broader question isn’t partisan—it’s about accountability. When elites are involved, Americans want answers, not carefully worded statements.
The closed-door depositions follow months of tense negotiations between the Clintons and the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee. According to reports, the couple initially offered sworn written statements. Those offers were rejected by the panel and its chairman, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., who instead demanded in-person testimony and threatened criminal contempt of Congress charges if they refused to comply.
It marks the first time a former president has been compelled to testify before Congress in this manner. That alone signals how serious lawmakers believe the Epstein scandal to be. The abuse of underage girls connected to Epstein has generated bipartisan outrage, but it is Republicans who have consistently pushed for deeper investigation into who knew what—and when.
Epstein died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, and Maxwell was later convicted in 2021 of aiding his abuse. The scandal has cast a long shadow over institutions that many Americans already distrust.
For conservatives who have long argued that powerful political figures often operate under a different set of rules, these depositions represent something rare: scrutiny applied upward.
