Hillary Clinton No-Show Deposition on Epstein Probe, Contempt Proceedings Start - January 14, 2026

This footage from January 14, 2026, captures a scheduled deposition of former Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform investigating connections to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. Clinton failed to appear despite a subpoena (issued after a July 23, 2025, subcommittee vote), with the proceeding going on record at 10:05 AM noting her absence. Chairman Comer (referred to as Comr in transcript) announced plans to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings against her for defying the subpoena, similar to the prior case with former President Bill Clinton. The session involved marking numerous exhibits into the record, including correspondence from August 2025 to January 2026, declarations from the Clintons dated January 13, 2026, and discussions on pursuing truth for Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell victims. Democrats, via Ranking Member Garcia, supported cooperation on the investigation but criticized the process as politically motivated, referencing President Trump's actions, DOJ involvement, and past interactions. The deposition adjourned shortly after at around 10:12 AM. Broadcast by the GOP Oversight channel; more details at oversight.house.gov.
