Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently appeared before the House Oversight Committee for depositions tied to the long-running investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The questioning reportedly covered a broad range of issues, including Clinton’s past interactions with Epstein, Maxwell’s connections to various political and philanthropic circles, and a previously circulated photograph involving Clinton and an unidentified individual in a hot tub.
According to accounts of the deposition, Bill Clinton denied any knowledge of criminal activity connected to Epstein or Maxwell. Observers present noted that while the former president appeared mentally competent during questioning, he frequently stated that he could not recall specific details about certain events or relationships.
At several points, his testimony reportedly diverged from claims made by other figures connected to Epstein’s network. Clinton also stated during the proceedings that he had never lied under oath, a declaration that drew attention due to the long public memory of past legal controversies involving sworn testimony during the 1990s.

Committee members questioned Clinton about a wide array of topics, including Maxwell’s reported ties to organizations and political figures, as well as her alleged connections to initiatives linked to the Clinton Global Initiative. Those lines of inquiry reflected broader attempts by investigators to understand the scope of Epstein’s social and political connections during the years when he maintained relationships with powerful individuals.
Hillary Clinton’s appearance before the committee reportedly generated its own discussion. Reports circulating around the proceedings suggested that her team had requested specific lighting and a customized background setup for the deposition environment, though details about those arrangements remain limited.
Just days after the depositions, the couple attracted attention again during a public outing in New York City. Following an event, Bill and Hillary Clinton were seen walking with a group that appeared to include Secret Service agents and associates. Video captured by bystanders showed the pair waiting at a crosswalk before attempting to cross the street.
The brief moment quickly spread across social media. In the footage, Bill Clinton appears to clap unexpectedly while standing beside Hillary Clinton. Shortly afterward, he seems to stumble toward her more than once, creating a moment of visible confusion between the two. Hillary Clinton reacts by raising her hands and turning back toward the sidewalk, telling him, “Don’t do that,” before stepping away.
Bill Clinton appears to respond with a brief remark that sounds like “Not a good idea.” Moments later, the crosswalk signal changed and the pair continued across the street with their security detail without further incident.
