Newly released video shows former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appearing for a recorded deposition with the Republican-led House Oversight Committee in her hometown on Thursday, Feb. 26, in connection with the committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

Clinton had sought to testify publicly, but the parties agreed to a recorded deposition instead. During questioning, Rep. Nancy Mace asked Clinton about her relationship with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who has acknowledged visiting Epstein’s U.S. Virgin Islands property in 2012. Clinton said she knew Lutnick through Cantor Fitzgerald after the Sept. 11 attacks. As Mace interrupted Clinton’s answer, Clinton said, “You asked the question, I’m going to answer your question.” Mace responded that she is a sexual assault survivor, and the exchange continued with raised voices.

The context for the questioning included Lutnick’s earlier testimony to a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee, where he acknowledged the 2012 visit and characterized it as a brief family lunch. The House Oversight Committee has not sought testimony from Lutnick or President Donald Trump. Former President Bill Clinton later told the committee that Hillary Clinton “had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein,” and said the committee should question him about his own travel with Epstein.
