Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed her closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee in New York on Thursday "got quite unusual" after Republicans began asking her questions about conspiracy theories.
Speaking to reporters after the deposition, Clinton claimed that Republicans asked her the same questions "over and over again." She added that Republicans asked her about Pizzagate, a conspiracy theory that claimed a pedophile ring was being run out of a pizza shop in Washington D.C., and whether or not UFOs are real.
"I think they could have spent the day more productively," she said.
Clinton appeared for a nearly six-hour closed-door deposition on Thursday as part of the House Oversight Committee's investigation into disgraced financier and convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.
At one point, the deposition was temporarily paused after Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) sent photos to MAGA influencer Benny Johnson from inside the hearing room.
In her statement to the press, Clinton said she is not going to sit for another deposition. She also questioned why Republicans haven't questioned people with ties to Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, like former Victoria's Secret CEO Leslie Wexner.
Wexner sat for a nearly five-hour deposition earlier this month. No Republicans attended the hearing.
