New York Post CHAPPAQUA, NY — Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton excoriated members of the House Oversight Committee Thursday, accusing them of performing “partisan political theater” by subpoenaing her for testimony about her knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes.
In a statement ahead of her closed-door deposition at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center, the former first lady called the Oversight Committee’s Epstein investigation an “abdication of duty and an insult to the American people” — before suggesting alternative lines of inquiry for the GOP-led panel.
That included pressing the committee to dig deep into President Trump’s ties to the deceased Epstein. The Justice Department is investigating whether it erroneously withheld any Epstein files, including ones damaging to Trump.
“You have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump’s actions and to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers,” Clinton, the 2016 political rival of Trump, said.
Trump and Epstein were friends for years, but had a falling out before the disgraced financier was indicted for soliciting prostitution in 2006. Trump has denied any connection to Epstein’s sex crimes and claims he kicked him out of his Florida Mar-a-Lago club for bad behavior with young women.
Clinton also urged a subpoena of billionaire Elon Musk, citing the tech mogul’s emails with the financier from more than a decade ago.
