Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist criticized Republican lawmakers for botching the Hillary Clinton deposition, which exposed GOP incompetence rather than wrongdoing by the former secretary of state. Scarborough noted that even MAGA voices acknowledged Clinton's impressive performance against the "clown show" of questioning. Geist described Republicans' Chappaqua trip as a wasted effort where Clinton "ran circles around them," using the hearing to demand Trump's testimony while defending herself and Bill Clinton. The released deposition videos backfired on the GOP by highlighting double standards. Geist indicated the committee may now call Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify about inconsistencies in his Epstein accounts and island visits. The sustained media focus on administration officials in Epstein files creates mounting pressure that could result in Lutnick's appearance before the committee.
