The events that emerged during Hillary Clinton's testimony in the case centered around Jeffrey Epstein in the U.S. made headlines. A photo reflecting Clinton's angry moments was leaked on social media during the closed-door hearing, leading to a halt in the proceedings. The hearing was suspended for about an hour after the photo was taken and uploaded to social media by Republican committee member Lauren Boebert.
US politics is shaken by the dramatic testimony of Hillary Clinton, one of the key figures in the Jeffrey Epstein case. During the closed-door questioning, the leak of a photo reflecting Clinton's angry moments caused the proceedings to unravel.
COMMITTEE MEMBER LEAKED PHOTO
Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was called to testify in the Epstein files, received an unexpected blow while sweating in front of the Republican House Committee. Despite the prohibition of bringing phones into the courtroom and taking pictures, a "frowning and angry" shot of Clinton at the interrogation table was circulated on X.
The photo was allegedly taken by Republican committee member Lauren Boebert and sent to Benny Johnson, who has 4 million followers. Following this breach of confidentiality, Clinton's lawyers intervened, and the hearing was suspended for about an hour.
CLINTON'S "POLITICAL THEATER" OUTBURST
Starting her testimony with a strong defense, Clinton opened fire on the Republicans while denying the allegations against her. She argued that the Epstein investigation had turned into a political "smear campaign" rather than protecting the victims.
Describing the mention of her name in the files as a "political distraction," Clinton accused the committee of ignoring thousands of records related to Donald Trump in the files.
TRUMP'S QUICK RESPONSE: THEIR PROBLEM
Former President Donald Trump closely followed the developments and targeted Clinton. Stating that he severed ties with Epstein years ago and was completely exonerated, Trump said, "They are getting pulled into this, and it is entirely their problem," cornering the Clinton family.
WHY IS HILLARY CLINTON IN THE EPSTEIN FILES?
One of the most curious topics in the public eye was why Clinton's name appeared hundreds of times in the documents. Clinton explained this situation as the archiving of news about her during the 2016 election campaign by Epstein and the inclusion of these clippings in the files.
