The Clinton deposition saga has reached a fever pitch. The House Oversight Committee released nearly nine hours of deposition video on Monday, March 3, 2026 ET, pulling back the curtain on one of the most contentious congressional hearings in recent memory. Bill Clinton, age 79, and Hillary Clinton, age 78, both faced down Republican lawmakers in Chappaqua, New York — and the footage is anything but quiet.

What Is Pizzagate, and Why Did It Surface in the Clinton Deposition

The Pizzagate conspiracy theory falsely accused Clinton and other prominent Democratic figures of running a child sex trafficking ring out of a Washington, D.C., pizzeria. In December 2016, a North Carolina man armed with an AR-15 rifle entered the restaurant and fired three shots, claiming he was investigating the accusations — even though the building had only one floor and no basement.

During the deposition, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-SC) attempted to tie Epstein documents to the debunked Pizzagate theory. Hillary Clinton responded with visible outrage. "I can't believe you're even referencing it," Clinton said. "I mean, I expected a lot of interesting questions today, but Pizzagate was not on my list."

Hillary Clinton Deposition: Six Hours of Denial and Frustration

Hillary Clinton spent more than six hours in a closed-door deposition, repeating again and again that she did not know Jeffrey Epstein and had never visited his island, home, or offices. She called the questioning repetitive and said she would not appear before the committee again, even for a public session.

Clinton accused the Republican-led committee of compelling her to testify despite her having no relevant knowledge, calling it an effort to distract from President Trump's own past friendship with Epstein. She demanded public proceedings and said the committee had wasted an opportunity to conduct a serious investigation.

In her opening statement, Hillary Clinton said she never flew on Epstein's plane, never visited his island, homes, or offices, and that she had been horrified by what the world learned about his crimes. Republicans on the committee said they were not fully satisfied with her responses.

Lauren Boebert, Benny Johnson, and the Photo Leak Controversy

The deposition was briefly paused after a photo of Hillary Clinton from inside the closed-door session was leaked. The photo was posted by conservative social media personality Benny Johnson, who claimed it was provided by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO).

Video released Monday shows Hillary Clinton growing furious upon learning about the leak: "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." The session went briefly off the record before resuming.

When reporters asked Boebert about the photo, she quipped: "I just returned to my hotel room and installed the BleachBit software … So, I guess in regards to taking photos, I do not recall" — a jab at the FBI's past investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server.

Bill Clinton Deposition: Hot Tub Photo and Epstein Ties Under the Microscope

A photograph released by the U.S. Department of Justice in late 2025 shows Bill Clinton relaxing in a hot tub with an unidentified woman whose face was redacted. The Bill Clinton hot tub photo reignited debate over his past associations with Epstein leading into the deposition.

Bill Clinton's deposition, which followed Hillary's by one day, saw the former president deny any involvement in criminal activity. He stated in his opening statement that the girls and women whose lives Epstein destroyed deserve justice and healing, and insisted he severed ties with Epstein before his crimes came to light.

Bill Clinton was also asked whether he believed Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving 20 years in prison for sex trafficking, should receive clemency. He answered: "I don't think I should comment on that."

How Old Is Bill Clinton, and How Old Is Hillary Clinton Now

Bill Clinton was born August 19, 1946, making him 79 years old in 2026. Hillary Clinton was born October 26, 1947, making her 78 years old. Both are appearing at a politically charged moment decades after leaving the White House, navigating the most legally complex public scrutiny of their post-presidential lives.

Nancy Mace and Republicans Signal More to Come

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) praised the Hillary Clinton deposition and wrote on X that Clinton had given Republicans "plenty to work with" and called it "plenty of ammunition" heading into Bill Clinton's session the following day.

Committee Chairman James Comer said there were numerous instances where Hillary Clinton responded with "I don't know, you'll have to ask my husband," and he expressed confidence that Bill Clinton's deposition would last even longer. With the full videos now public, both sides of the aisle are combing through hours of footage — and the political fallout from the Clinton deposition is far from over.
