After being deposed by the House Oversight Committee on Thursday about her ties, if any, to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton decried some of the questions she’d received during her deposition.
“It then got, at the end, quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate — one of the most vile bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the internet — that was serving as the basis of a member’s questions to me,” she said at a press conference in Chappaqua, New York.

Despite this criticism, she did save some praise for Oversight Committee chair James Comer.
“I want to commend Chairman Comer for raising a series of significant questions that I responded to about the nature of the investigation and the areas that I thought should be explored,” she said. “So I appreciated that, I want to see the truth come out. So that was a reassuring way to end a very long, repetitive deposition.”
Ironically, she later repeated her complaint about the “long, repetitive deposition.”
“I thought it was very repetitive,” she said. “I thought that they literally asked the same questions over and over again, which didn’t seem to me to be very productive. And then, as I said toward the end, there were several questions that were off-subject.”
Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican member of the committee, didn’t appear to share Clinton’s belief that the deposition wasn’t productive:
Secretary Clinton gave us plenty to work with today. So generous, in fact, that she gave us plenty of ammunition heading into tomorrow’s deposition with her husband. I got three rounds with her today, and I’m just getting warmed up.

As noted by Mace in the tweet above, Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, was set to be deposed on Friday.
During Clinton’s own deposition on Thursday, she repeatedly argued that her husband might have better answers to share than she.
“The number of times that she said, ‘I don’t know. You’ll have to ask my husband,’ was was more than a dozen,” Comer revealed after the deposition.
However, she did staunchly maintain that she never knew or had anything to do with Epstein.
“I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein,” she said in her opening statement. “I never flew on his plane or visited his island, homes or offices. I have nothing to add to that.”

Meanwhile, her husband released a sworn declaration last month admitting that Epstein had offered up his private plane to him and his staff in support of the Clinton Foundation.
However, he denied ever visiting the deceased pedophile’s notorious island, and he insisted that he didn’t recall any interactions with Epstein during his time in office.
“While Mr. Epstein may very well have attended any of the many hundreds of White House events or receptions during my eight years in office and been photographed with me as were tens of thousands of individuals, I do not recall encountering Mr. Epstein, or any specific interactions with him, while in office,” the declaration read.
He also denied being aware at the time of the sexual crimes that were being committed by Epstein and his madam, Ghislaine Maxwell.
“To be clear, I had no idea of Mr. Epstein’s or Ms. Maxwell’s criminal activities,” the declaration continued. “And, irrespective of any intent either may have ever had, I did not take any action for the purpose of helping them to avoid any type of scrutiny.”
Questioned by reporters on Thursday about whether she believed her husband, Clinton said she did.
“The chronology of the connection that he had with Epstein ended years, several years before anything about Epstein’s criminal activities came to light,” she insisted.
