Hillary Clinton shared that during a recent closed-door hearing concerning Jeffrey Epstein, she was repeatedly asked about her connections to him, as well as questions related to UFOs and the pizzagate conspiracy theory. The hearing, which lasted seven hours, included various interests from committee members, highlighting the controversial nature of the topics discussed. The event took place in Chappaqua, New York, and while it was closed to the public, recordings are expected to be released afterward.

The hearing was notably interrupted when conservative commentator Benny Johnson posted a picture of Clinton from the session on social media, contributing to the media frenzy surrounding it. Among the committee members, Republican Lauren Boebert was mentioned as being involved in the sharing of this image. This incident exemplifies the intersection of serious political inquiries with sensationalist media coverage, especially concerning personalities like Clinton, whose past associations with Epstein have been heavily scrutinized.

Clinton's direct response to the questioning emphasized her distance from Epstein, stating she had clarified her non-connection multiple times. The session's focus on conspiracy theories such as pizzagate and UFOs raises questions about the seriousness of the inquiries into Epstein’s actions and connections, reflecting broader concerns regarding the political tactics employed during congressional hearings. Such discussions often divert attention from the substantive issues at hand regarding accountability and justice.
