Overview
Videos of depositions for Bill and Hillary Clinton were released on March 2 by the House Oversight Committee.
The depositions were conducted behind closed doors in Chappaqua, New York, as part of the committee's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
Hillary Clinton threatened to leave her deposition after Rep. Lauren Boebert posted a photo from the session, and Bill Clinton denied sexual activity with an unidentified woman in a hot‑tub photo and said he did not know her identity.
Both Clintons were questioned for over four hours each, and the committee had previously voted to recommend holding them in contempt after they initially declined to testify.
Democrats asked whether President Donald Trump should be deposed; Hillary Clinton said 'absolutely,' while Bill Clinton said the decision was 'for you to decide' and did not endorse calling him.
