Newly released footage of a closed-door deposition about Jeffrey Epstein showed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton calling out Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) after the Republican lawmaker appeared to violate the House Oversight Committee’s rules.
“I’m done with this if you guys are doing that, I am done,” Clinton said once her attorney flagged that images of the interview had been leaked, a move that was at odds with the panel’s policies on disclosing content from the proceedings. “You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home. This is just typical behavior.”
Boebert had shared the image with conservative commentator Benny Johnson, who posted it to social media. When the Republican lawmaker revealed that she had taken a photo during the deposition, Clinton appeared frustrated.
“Oh, for heaven’s sake!” she said. “We all are abiding by the same rules.”
Clinton’s attorney also noted that the move was especially concerning after she had requested a public hearing, which GOP lawmakers denied.
