Dem floored as Hillary Clinton 'ran circles around Republicans' during Epstein deposition

A Democratic lawmaker Thursday revealed several insights about what happened inside the room where former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was pressed by the House Oversight Committee about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — explaining she did not know him.
Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) told CNN anchor Jake Tapper that Clinton explained she had never met the late financier and convicted child sex offender, and she did not have a relationship with his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.
"We would like the transcript to be released within 24 hours because the reality is she ran circles around the Republicans the entire time," Subramanyam said. "It's still going and she's answering every single question being asked. But the reality is we should be interviewing people who actually had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, who knew the guy, who at least met the guy and know about his crimes. There's so many people in the files and Hillary Clinton is not someone we should be focusing on."
Subramanyam brought up how zero Republicans attended Les Wexner's testimony in Ohio last week, yet 11 Republicans were in upstate New York on Thursday. He also called out Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) for taking photos and sending them to a MAGA influencer who posted them during the closed-door meeting and violating the committee's rules, and pausing the entire testimony.
