Hillary Clinton spent six grueling hours under oath on February 26, 2026, before the House Oversight Committee, and repeatedly deflected tough questions by saying, “you’ll have to ask my husband.” Republican investigators say the marathon deposition exposed more frustration than answers and set the table for an even more consequential sworn appearance by Bill Clinton scheduled for the following day. Hardworking Americans deserve straight talk, not rehearsed evasions from a political dynasty accustomed to special treatment.
Throughout the hearing, Clinton called the inquiry “partisan political theater” while insisting she never met Jeffrey Epstein and downplaying any meaningful connection, even as records and photos continue to raise questions. Democrats were quick to frame the committee’s work as a partisan fishing expedition, but voters remember decades of unanswered questions and revolving-door explanations. When public trust is already frayed, stonewalling and theatrical outrage won’t cut it — accountability must come before optics.
Chairman James Comer and other Republicans made clear they left unsatisfied, noting that Hillary used the same nine-word deflection more than a dozen times and that Bill’s deposition would likely run even longer. That admission alone underscores why the American people demanded sworn testimony: not for soundbites, but to pierce the Clinton family’s habitual veil of secrecy. If the committee allows another round of vague answers, it will confirm a double standard in how the political elite are treated versus ordinary citizens.
The session was briefly interrupted when a photo taken inside the closed deposition was shared, a reminder of how high emotions and tensions ran during the proceedings. Republicans who fought to compel these depositions say the delay to get the Clintons before the committee was unacceptable, and many wonder why it took months of pressure and subpoenas to secure answers. This isn’t about partisan points; it’s about whether people in power get to live by different rules than the rest of us.
Bill Clinton’s upcoming testimony carries heavier baggage — public records show he flew on Epstein’s private jet several times and appears in photos with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, facts he has sought to contextualize while denying any wrongdoing. Conservatives aren’t asking for a witch hunt; we’re demanding the same transparency and scrutiny that anyone else would face when their name shows up in files tied to a convicted sex trafficker. If the Clintons truly have nothing to hide, then let the record be released in full and let the American people judge for themselves.
Chairman Comer said the committee aims to release video and transcripts quickly, and Americans should insist on a full, public accounting rather than redacted soundbites. This moment is a test: will Congress treat all powerful figures equally or preserve the endless cycle of protection for the politically connected? Patriots who cherish the rule of law should demand transparency, equal justice, and no more “ask my husband” answers that dodge accountability.
