Hillary Clinton rips House Oversight Committee ahead of Epstein deposition — says she doesn’t recall encountering late pedophile

CHAPPAQUA, NY — Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton excoriated members of the House Oversight Committee Thursday, accusing them of performing “partisan political theater” by subpoenaing her for testimony about her knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes.

In a statement ahead of her closed-door deposition at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center, the former first lady called the Oversight Committee’s Epstein investigation an “abdication of duty and an insult to the American people” — before suggesting alternative lines of inquiry for the GOP-led panel.

That included pressing the committee to subpoena billionaire Elon Musk, citing the tech mogul’s emails with the financier from more than a decade ago.

Both Republicans and Democrats on the Oversight panel voted to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton last year — the onetime Democratic powerbrokers narrowly evaded being held in contempt of Congress in January before agreeing to testify.

“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,” Hillary Clinton’s prepared statement read.

“Let me be as clear as I can. I do not,” she added. “I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein. I never flew on his private plane or visited his island, homes or offices. I have nothing to add to that.”
