Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s sworn deposition before the House Oversight Committee regarding her past ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was temporarily paused Thursday after a photograph from the closed-door session was posted on social media.

Committee members traveled to Chappaqua, New York, this week to depose Clinton and former President Bill Clinton following months of negotiations and a House vote holding the pair in contempt of Congress for initially defying subpoenas. Hillary Clinton was scheduled to testify on Thursday, with Bill Clinton set for Friday.

The interruption occurred shortly after political commentator Benny Johnson shared a photo of Clinton seated at the deposition table. Johnson said the image was provided by Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo. House rules prohibit photography during such proceedings.

Nick Merrill, a Clinton adviser, stepped out of the session to tell reporters the deposition had been paused because the photo violated chamber rules outlined at the start of the meeting. The session later resumed.

Johnson responded online by noting that the deposition was being recorded and would be released in full, adding that Clinton had previously pressed for a public hearing. Boebert defended the decision to share the image and said the proceedings continued after the brief delay.

Ahead of her testimony, Clinton posted her opening statement on social media, reiterating that she had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal conduct or that of his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell. In a sworn declaration earlier this year, she stated she did not recall meeting Epstein and said she never traveled on his plane or visited his properties.

Clinton also criticized House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., for declining to hold public hearings at this stage of the investigation. Comer has indicated depositions would occur behind closed doors initially, though he has not ruled out future public proceedings.

The depositions are part of the committee’s broader inquiry into Epstein’s network and any potential connections to high-profile political figures.
