Former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton testified for more than six hours behind closed doors on Thursday before the Republican-led House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
The deposition, held in the Clintons’ hometown of Chappaqua, New York, followed months of tense back-and-forth between the former Democratic power couple and the committee. The Clintons had resisted the panel’s subpoena, dismissing it as politically motivated, before agreeing to testify as potential contempt-of-Congress proceedings loomed against them.
