I’m Done With This - Hillary Clinton Confronts Committee Over Unauthorized Photo Release
Hillary Clinton’s deposition with the House Oversight Committee on Feb. 26 took a tense turn when a photo leak interrupted her testimony.
New footage released Monday, March 2, reveals the frustration in the room as Clinton, 78, pushed back against what she called unprofessional behavior.
The former secretary of state and former first lady had agreed to sit for the recorded deposition in February as part of the committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
She and her husband, Bill Clinton, had initially requested to testify publicly but ultimately negotiated a private format in their hometown.
During the session, MAGA podcaster Benny Johnson shared an image of Clinton at the deposition table, claiming it was provided by Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert. The leak prompted immediate action from Clinton’s legal team. In the footage, her attorney interrupted the questioning, demanding to know how the committee could permit such a release while restricting press access.
Hillary, learning about the leak from her lawyer, expressed visible frustration. “I’m done with this. If you guys are doing that, I am done. You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home. This is just typical behavior,” she said.
Off-camera, Boebert admitted to sharing the photo, prompting Clinton to react sharply. “Oh for heaven’s sake,” she said, before emphasizing, “It doesn’t matter! We all are abiding by the same rules!”
Boebert agreed to remove the image. Following the exchange, Clinton’s attorney requested a break. As she stood from the table, Clinton added, “Yeah, I’m done, for now.”
When the deposition resumed, her counsel read a statement criticizing the committee for not holding a public hearing and then failing to follow their own rules.
“I’d like to just say for the record, we find it unacceptable, we find it unprofessional, and we find it unfair,” the statement said.
The deposition also included heated exchanges on other topics, including debunked conspiracy theories and Epstein-related questions. At one point, Clinton clashed with South Carolina Rep.
Nancy Mace while discussing Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who reportedly visited Epstein’s private island in 2012. Mace interrupted Clinton as she explained her knowledge of Lutnick, prompting further tension in the room.
