James Comer Won’t Let Hillary Clinton Testify Publicly on Epstein
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s deposition in the Epstein investigation will remain out of public view, thanks to the machinations of House Oversight Chairman James Comer.
Comer refused to grant Clinton a public hearing Thursday, saying public committee meetings were “more for entertainment than substance.”

Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, agreed to a closed-door deposition earlier this week after their names and images were featured prominently in the Justice Department’s latest document on the Epstein files, although the couple have since insisted that the hearing be made public.
“For six months, we engaged Republicans in good faith on the Oversight Committee. We told them what we know, under oath,” said the Democratic candidate for the 2016 presidential election. written the THURSDAY. “They ignored everything. They shifted the goalposts and turned responsibility into an exercise in distraction.
“Then let’s stop the games,” she said. following. “If you want this fight, [Representative James Comer]let’s do it in public. You like to talk about transparency. There is nothing more transparent than a public hearing, cameras on. We will be there. »
Responding to Clinton, Comer told Fox that the closed-door deposition had already been accepted and that the video, audio and transcript of the deposition would then be made available to the public.
“The deposition is on the merits. This is a serious investigation. The purpose of the investigation is to get justice for the victims, and why the government failed the victims, and who the bad guys were and whether they can be held accountable,” Comer said. “The Clintons are trying to play the victim card. Epstein’s victims are the victims, not the Clintons.”
But Comer’s vehement defense of Donald Trump – who, like Clinton, was prominently photographed with Epstein – all but gave the forty-second president and his wife a way out.
During an earlier interview Thursday with podcaster Benny Johnson, Comer claimed that photos of the president with Epsteinthose around him and his victims do not constitute a reprehensible act.
