"For six months, we engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith. We told them what we know, under oath. They ignored all of it. They moved the goalposts and turned accountability into an exercise in distraction. So let's stop the games. If you want this fight, @RepJamesComer, let's have itin public. You love to talk about transparency. There's nothing more transparent than a public hearing, cameras on. We will be there, Clinton added, calling out the Republican specifically."
"The remarks came days after the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform confirmed that Clinton will sit for a deposition on February 26, followed by her husband, former President Bill Clinton, the next day. Republicans have framed the appearances as a victory after threatening contempt proceedings, claiming the Clintons delayed compliance with subpoenas. Comer accused the couple of only agreeing to testify once the prospect of punishment became real."
Hillary Clinton challenged House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer to conduct her upcoming Jeffrey Epstein deposition as a public, televised hearing. She accused Republicans of dragging out the investigation, ignoring sworn testimony, moving goalposts, and turning accountability into distraction. The House Oversight Committee scheduled Clinton to sit for a deposition on February 26 and former President Bill Clinton the following day. Republicans framed the appearances as a victory after threats of contempt and alleged delayed subpoena compliance. Committee members emphasized that no one is above the law and said they seek transparency and accountability for survivors, while the demand pressures Republicans to choose a public forum.
