NEW YORK, Feb 27 \u2013 Former US First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton\u2019s testimony about the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has ended, with the former secretary of state saying \u2018I want to see the truth come out\u2019<\/p>\n
Proceedings were abruptly paused earlier in the day due to a photo leak from inside the closed-door session with US lawmakers.<\/p>\n
US political commentator Benny Johnson shared an image, external on X of Hillary Clinton testifying under oath in front of the Oversight Committee.<\/p>\n
Johnson said in the post that, \u201cClinton does not look happy\u201d and that US Representative Lauren Boebert provided the image.<\/p>\n
The post has led to a pause in the testimony.<\/p>\n
Democrats on the Republican-led House Oversight Committee defended Clinton, and say the release of the photo was \u201ccompletely against the rules\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking outside the hearing she echoed her opening statement which accuses the Republican-led House Oversight Committee of \u201cpartisan political theater\u201d and calls on them to request President Donald Trump testify<\/p>\n
Clinton says she has no information on Epstein\u2019s crimes, and does not recall ever meeting or speaking to him<\/p>\n
Former US President Bill Clinton is set to testify on Friday, and has previously said he took trips on Epstein\u2019s plane but denies any knowledge of, or involvement in, Epstein\u2019s crimes.<\/p>\n
Clinton has said he took trips on Epstein\u2019s plane with this staff in the early 2000s in support of the Clinton Foundation\u2019s philanthropic work. He has denied any knowledge of, or involvement in, Epstein and Maxwell\u2019s crimes. He never has been accused of wrongdoing in connection to Epstein.<\/p>\n
In the justice department\u2019s first release of Epstein documents in December, several images showed Clinton, including a picture of him swimming in a pool, and another with him lying back with his hands behind his head in what appears to be a hot tub.<\/p>\n
Clinton was photographed with Epstein several times over the 1990s and early 2000s, before Epstein was first arrested.<\/p>\n
There is no suggestion that appearing in the Epstein documents implies any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n
