Hillary Clinton finally sat for a deposition with the House Oversight Committee on February 26, 2026, after months of delay and legal posturing, and Americans deserve to know why the former secretary of state and her husband fought so hard to avoid answering tough questions. The delay only deepened suspicion that the Clintons believe the rules that apply to hardworking citizens don’t apply to them. This episode should remind voters that accountability must be blind to pedigree.
Republicans on the Oversight Committee, led by Chairman James Comer, moved aggressively last month after subpoenas went unanswered, even voting to hold the Clintons in contempt when negotiations failed. That bipartisan push to compel testimony wasn’t theater — it was a necessary step to get to the truth about Jeffrey Epstein’s networks and the powerful people who surrounded him. If Washington elites think contempt votes are a badge of honor, they’re badly mistaken; they’re a warning that no one is above the law.
During her appearance, Hillary Clinton insisted she had no recollection of involvement in Epstein’s crimes, saying she never flew on his plane or visited his island and had nothing to add about the criminal enterprise. Those denials, delivered under oath, will not satisfy millions who remember the company Epstein kept or who’ve watched powerful figures dodge accountability for years. The American people want facts, not rehearsed talking points.
It’s telling that many of the same connections the committee has highlighted — social ties, photo evidence, and past donations — keep circling back to people close to the Clintons, including reporting about Ghislaine Maxwell’s presence at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding and Epstein’s financial ties to Clinton-related initiatives. Whether any of this amounts to criminal conduct is for investigators to decide, but the optics are terrible and the arrogance of prolonged avoidance looks worse. Conservatives are right to demand clarity where the elite have only offered obfuscation.
Remember, this fight didn’t start yesterday: the official committee record lays out a long history of missed dates, negotiated postponements, and ultimately the committee’s formal recommendation that Hillary Clinton be found in contempt for refusing to comply with a lawful subpoena. That procedural history matters because it exposes a pattern — not just an isolated slip — of deferential treatment toward Washington royalty. If the justice system means anything, it must treat powerful families the same way it treats working Americans.
Patriotic citizens shouldn’t be asked to accept polite denials while the powerful play legal games to avoid scrutiny; we need transparency, not perfunctory appearances and spin. This is about restoring the principle that public officials and public figures answer for their connections and conduct, and it’s about defending the rule of law against the comfortable culture of elite immunity. The American people are watching, and they won’t forget who stood for accountability and who stood in its way.
