Megyn Kelly shares decades-old Clinton photo, says he ogled friend before Epstein deposition

WASHINGTON, DC: Megyn Kelly drew attention on her show by sharing a decades-old photograph of former President Bill Clinton, alleging the image captured him behaving inappropriately toward one of her friends. The segment aired hours before Clinton’s closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee on February 27.

Kelly used the image to question Clinton’s personal conduct during his time in office, suggesting that his behavior remained unchecked even after the controversy surrounding his impeachment over the Monica Lewinsky scandal. She clarified that she was not accusing him of committing a crime but wanted to highlight a pattern of conduct.

During the episode of 'The Megyn Kelly Show,' Kelly presented a photograph taken at the Bombay Club in Washington, DC, while Clinton was still president. She identified the women in the photo as close friends, pointing out Clinton’s posture and focus in the image.

Kelly argued the photo reflected that Clinton had not shown remorse for past controversies, saying, “I’m not saying this is a crime, but it does show how he conducted himself even after the impeachment.” The former president’s wife, Hillary Clinton, and daughter, Chelsea, were reportedly nearby when the photo was taken.

Kelly described the moment as one of alleged improper attention toward her friend, emphasizing that her intention was to highlight ongoing personal conduct rather than legal wrongdoing.

“I’m just saying he was not chastised at all as a result of Lewinsky,” she remarked. The segment focused on interpreting the photograph and the broader implications of Clinton’s public behavior.

Context of Clinton’s deposition

The remarks came as Clinton faced a deposition with the House Oversight Committee, which lasted over six hours. During his testimony, he stated that he “saw nothing” and “did nothing wrong” regarding his interactions with associates under scrutiny.

Clinton acknowledged past social connections but has consistently denied any misconduct, and no charges have been brought against him in connection with the matter

Implications for public perception

Kelly’s segment was positioned as commentary on Clinton’s long-standing public image and the perception of accountability for elected officials. By highlighting a decades-old photo alongside current events, the broadcast framed the discussion around personal conduct and ongoing scrutiny of public figures.
