Photo leak to influencer prompts chaos at Hillary Clinton Epstein deposition

Hillary Clinton’s closed-door deposition in the congressional Jeffrey Epstein investigation was paused on Thursday after Rep. Lauren Boebert allegedly shared a photo of the proceedings with a right-wing influencer.
“The first image of Hillary Clinton testifying under oath about Jeffery Epstein to the Republican Oversight Committee,” influencer Benny Johnson wrote on X, in a post featuring a photo of Clinton. “This is the first time Hillary has had to answer real questions about Epstein. Clinton does not look happy.”
After the post, Clinton adviser Nick Merrill told Politico that the deposition went off the record “while they figure out where the photo came from and why possibly members of Congress are violating House rules.”
In a post on X, Boebert defended Johnson’s decision to post the photo, though she did not confirm in the post that she was the one who sent it to him.
“Benny did nothing wrong,” the Colorado Republican wrote. “Proceeding with deposition.”
Johnson claimed he was authorized to post the photo and accused Clinton’s team of trying to “weasel out of answering questions.”
