Summary
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), who violated rules of the House Oversight Committee during its deposition of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and took photos during the closed-door hearing, shrugged off questions about it Thursday. Lawmakers were meeting with Clinton in her hometown of Chappaqua, New York, questioning her about her knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted child sex offender. Boebert, who is a member of the committee leading the congressional investigation, reportedly took two photos during the questioning, which were sent to right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson and posted on social media. Reporters later questioned her about what happened. "She walked by our camera just a few moments ago, and a number of us asked her about her decision to take those photos and share them, and she said, 'Why not take those photos? I haven't been reprimanded,'" relayed MJ Lee, CNN senior national enterprise correspondent. Lee asked Boebert if there was anything from the deposition that stood out. The Congresswoman said she admired Hillary Clinton's blue suit, Lee said.Clinton responded to questions from lawmakers for several hours and urged leaders to talk with President Donald Trump, whose name appeared in the Epstein files more than 38,000 times. Democrats demanded that the full video transcript of Clinton's responses be released without any edits.Clinton delivered her opening statement before the committee investigating ties between the Clintons and Epstein. Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, was slated to testify Friday before the committee."I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein. I never flew on his plane or visited his island home or offices," Clinton said. She also posted the statement on X.Neither of the Clintons has been accused of any wrongdoing.
