A congressional deposition involving former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was briefly halted on 26 February 2026, following the release of an unauthorised photograph from the proceedings. The incident occurred during a closed-door session conducted by the House Oversight Committee as part of an investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The disruption began when a photograph of Mrs Clinton at the witness table appeared on social media, shared by conservative commentator Benny Johnson. The image, which included a nameplate for Republican Representative Lauren Boebert in the foreground, was traced to the Colorado congresswoman, leading to a temporary suspension of the testimony.
