Hillary Clinton Asks ‘Who Is Being Protected?’ During Epstein Testimony

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was deposed before a U.S. House panel as part of a congressional probe into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and she shared her opening remarks on social media.

“The Committee justified its subpoena to me based on its assumption that I have information regarding the investigations into the criminal activities of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell,” her statement shared via X on Thursday, February 26, began. “Let me be as clear as I can. I do not.”

Clinton went on to say she does not recall ever meeting the late Epstein and stated that she “never flew on his plane or visited his island, homes or offices,” adding that she has “nothing to add” beyond her previous sworn declaration.

In her remarks, Clinton criticized the House Oversight Committee’s handling of the investigation, suggesting it had failed to prioritize transparency and had not held public hearings. She also argued that the probe should focus more directly on how Epstein was able to avoid meaningful accountability for years.

At one point, she questioned the committee’s broader motives, asking, “What is being held back? Who is being protected? And why the cover-up?”

Clinton further emphasized her long record combating human trafficking and sexual exploitation, writing that sex trafficking and modern slavery “should have no place in America. None.”

Clinton’s appearance comes ahead of a scheduled deposition for former President Bill Clinton tomorrow, Friday, February 27.
