Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified for more than six hours before the United States House Committee on Oversight and Accountability on February 26, 2026, in a closed-door deposition centered on her knowledge of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his historical connections to prominent political figures.

The testimony marked the first time a former first lady appeared before Congress under subpoena, according to lawmakers familiar with the proceedings. The session focused on Epstein’s documented visits to the White House during the presidency of Bill Clinton. Visitor logs show Epstein signed in 17 times between 1993 and 1995.

Committee members also questioned Clinton about financial ties between Epstein and the Clinton Foundation, including a reported $25,000 donation from an Epstein-linked nonprofit. Additionally, lawmakers referenced flight records indicating that Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s private jet 26 times.

During the deposition, Hillary Clinton told lawmakers she does not recall ever meeting Epstein and stated that she never visited any of his residences, offices, or his private island. According to sources familiar with the session, her responses were consistent throughout the questioning.

The proceedings reportedly took an unexpected turn when some Republican members began raising unrelated topics, including UFO disclosures and debunked conspiracy theories. The session was temporarily paused after Representative Lauren Boebert allegedly leaked a photo from inside the deposition room, prompting procedural objections from Democratic members.

Following Clinton’s testimony, Democrats called for equal scrutiny of other political figures, including former President Donald Trump, arguing that precedent now exists for compelling testimony from high-profile former officeholders.

Bill Clinton appeared before the committee the following day. In a brief statement afterward, he said, “I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong,” reiterating prior public remarks denying knowledge of Epstein’s criminal conduct.

The deposition has intensified partisan debate in Washington and revived longstanding questions surrounding Epstein’s associations with influential political, financial, and social elites. While no charges have been announced in connection with the testimony, the inquiry underscores Congress’s continued efforts to examine the broader network surrounding Epstein and assess whether additional accountability is warranted.
