A viral clip from the deposition shows Hillary Clinton yelling at Mace during her Epstein testimony when the discussion shifted to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

The video captures a tense exchange, with both women raising their voices. Mace asked Clinton how she knew Lutnick, prompting Clinton to reflect on her Senate years and the collapse of the Twin Towers, which killed many employees at Lutnick’s firm and his brother.

Mace opened by alleging that Clinton had financial ties to Epstein, including campaign donations. “You asked the question, I’m going to answer your question. I was taking care of the people who lost three thousand lives,” Clinton said as Mace continued speaking, suggesting Lutnick had tried to involve Epstein in a Clinton event.

“You want to yell at me, that’s fine, but I’ll yell right back I'm looking out for survivors, I'm doing the job you would not do,” Mace shot back.

Clinton insisted on finishing her answer, taking the moment to express sympathy for Mace’s experience as a survivor of abuse. “If you don’t want to hear what emotionally affected me, that’s fine, but that’s why I know Howard Lutnick,” she said.

Clinton added, “I was a senator representing. The people who were murdered on 9/11. Nobody lost more people than Howard Lutnick. You can say whatever you want, you can call him and have them appear before the committee. I knew him, I knew him as the man who lost the employees that he knew intimately, including his brother.”

Mace pushed back again. “I see what you’re doing here and you’re obfuscating the question,” she said.

Hillary Clinton erupts during Epstein deposition over leaked photo



A 51-second video shows Hillary Clinton getting upset during her House Oversight Committee Epstein deposition upon learning a photo from the room was shared publicly. The leak prompted Clinton to threaten to walk out.

About an hour into the deposition, one of Clinton’s lawyers told the room that a photo from inside had been made public. The lawyer questioned how this could happen, since the hearing was closed-door, even though Clinton’s team had originally requested a public session.

“I am done with this. If you guys are doing that, I am done. You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home. This is just typical behavior,” Clinton said, clearly frustrated.

A lawmaker admitted to sharing the photo but claimed it happened before the hearing began. Clinton banged her fist on the table and shot back, “It doesn’t matter. We are all abiding by the same rules.” She then stood up and said, “I am done,” and the hearing went off the record.
