Hillary Clinton Confronts Lauren Boebert After Deposition Photo Leak, Says ‘I Am Done!’

Hillary Clinton – Lauren Boebert – deposition photo leak – New footage of Hillary Clinton’s deposition with the House Oversight Committee reveals the tension in the room as Republican lawmakers grilled her about conspiracy theories and her knowledge of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a man she said she doesn’t “recall ever encountering.”

The former secretary of state and wife of President Bill Clinton agreed to sit with the investigative committee in support of their Epstein probe despite claiming to have no insight to provide. She and her husband had asked to testify publicly, but ultimately negotiated with the committee to do recorded depositions in their hometown in February.

During Hillary’s testimony on Thursday, Feb. 26, MAGA podcaster Benny Johnson publicly posted an image of her sitting at the deposition table and said it was provided by Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert. At the time, reports emerged that the deposition had been paused upon learning that Boebert may have violated the deposition rules, though she and Johnson denied wrongdoing.

Footage of the full deposition, released on Monday, March 2, now shows what happened behind the scenes when Hillary’s legal team learned of the leaked photo during her questioning.

In the footage, a lawyer for the former first lady interrupted the testimony to raise a concern and frustratedly ask the committee how it is “permissible” to release photos of the witness on their own terms while simultaneously denying reporters access to the deposition.

Hillary, hearing about the leak for the first time from her lawyer, interjected with disbelief, “I’m done with this. If you guys are doing that, I am done. You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home. This is just typical behavior.”

Boebert, 39, was then heard off camera confessing to sharing a photo, prompting Hillary, 78, to respond, “Oh for heaven’s sake.” Boebert claimed that the photo was taken before the questioning began, to which Hillary raised her voice and pointed at her, saying, “It doesn’t matter! We all are abiding by the same rules!” The congresswoman responded, “I will take that down.”

After the back-and-forth, Hillary’s counsel asked that the committee take a break, and the former secretary of state said, “Yeah, I’m done, for now” as she got up from the table. The camera then cut off.

After returning to the table, Hillary’s lawyer read a statement that scolded the committee for neglecting to hold a public hearing then not abiding by their own rules, adding, “I’d like to just say for the record, we find it unacceptable, we find it unprofessional, and we find it unfair.”

Also during the Epstein deposition — in which Hillary was asked about the debunked Pizzagate conspiracy theory her thoughts on releasing UFO files — the former secretary of state got into a shouting match with South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace.

While Hillary was explaining to Mace how she knows Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick — a man who was recently revealed to have visited Epstein’s private island in 2012 — Mace talked over her answer about meeting Lutnick as a New York senator in the aftermath of the 9/11, when Lutnick’s company suffered the most deaths as a result of the terrorist attacks.

“You asked the question, I’m going to answer your question,” Hillary shot back. “This was what I spent my time doing!”

“You’re going to yell at me?” Mace responded. “I am a [sexual assault] survivor trying to look out for other survivors.”

“And I was taking care of the people who lost 3,000 lives!” Clinton said, as Mace called her “defiant and indignant.”

Footage of Bill Clinton’s deposition on Friday, Feb. 27, was also released on Monday, in which the former president delivered an opening statement that denied knowing about Epstein’s crimes and criticized the House Oversight Committee for roping his wife into the investigation.

“I have to just say one personal thing since Hillary came in yesterday,” Bill, 79, told the committee. “She had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Nothing.”

“There’s a picture of us both shaking hands with him in a photo line in 1993 at a fundraiser for the White House Historical Association … and neither she nor I remembered shaking his hand all those years ago,” he continued.

“On the other hand I do think you should be talking to me,” he said. “I think you should have called me. I did take those plane trips with him and you have a right to ask those questions.”
