Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's aide spoke to the press on Thursday while she was giving a statement to the House Oversight and Reform Committee about the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

The deposition was paused after Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Co.) sent an unauthorized photo of Sec. Clinton to a right-wing influencer, NBC News reporter Ryan Nobles posted on X. He did not clarify if that unauthorized photo included anyone else in the picture.

The photo was sent to Benny Johnson, who has an online streaming show.

Johnson then posted the photo on X.

The Clintons both asked for their hearings to be public. However, the Oversight Committee chairman, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) only agreed to release video and transcript of the hearing.
