  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to pick up
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: where we left off with the Hillary Clinton transcript from
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: her trip to Congress. Lauren Boebert, I will get those
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and I'll skip that question until she gets cut off
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: by Comer, but an audible woman asked generally if she
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: was aware. Lawyer, generally she's asking if she's aware of
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: specific information that is in the files that that you're
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: all relying on. Please provide the witness with copies of
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: that material. Chairman Comer, if the client doesn't know or
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: has no recollection, she's welcome to state so. Lawyer, we're
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: also welcome to actually see the information that you're taking today. Comer, again,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the representative is asking general questions. Clinton, I mean, I
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: expected a lot of interesting questions today, but Pizzagate was
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: not on my list. Boebert, that's okay. We're asking all
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: sorts of things here. Answer, you certainly are. You certainly are. Question,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: we're just trying to get the truth out of the
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: American people with some clarity. Clinton, well, that would be
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: very helpful. Question, are you aware of any files that
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: were on Anthony Weiner's laptop in a folder that was
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: titled Insurance, Life Insurance, with a zip file titled Frazzle Drip? Lawyer,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: excuse me, Chairman's ruling. Lawyer, this is way outside of
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the scope. Another lawyer, is this in the scope? Is
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: this within the scope, Mr. Chairman? Boebert, if the chairman rules,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: that's not within the scope. I have other questions. Mr. Chairman,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: based on what you said in the public hearing, is
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: this within the scope? Hillary's lawyer asks, Chairman, we can
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: go off the record for a moment. They come back on. Mr. Chairman,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: is this within the scope? They go off the record.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Now they come back on. Question, Madam Clinton, you've stated
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that you do not recall meeting Jeffrey Epstein and having
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: no links to him. Have you reviewed any photos, emails,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: or records from the released Epstein files that might refresh
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: your recollection of any encounter, event, or introduction involving them?
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Once again, the lawyer jumps in. Excuse me? Before, you
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: were stating that with respect to an interview or with
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: respect to what she has stated here today? Answer, I'm
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: asking in general, has anything that you have viewed since
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the release of the Epstein files brought any sort of
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: recollection of an encounter with Epstein? Answer, not that I recall. Question,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you acknowledge meeting Glenn Maxwell on a few occasions in
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: connection with a global initiative. Please describe each meeting in detail. Answer,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I did not. Actually, in response to a question which
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: posited that she had come to the Clinton Global Initiative
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: in 2013, I stated I did not have any involvement
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: in that and I didn't recall seeing her there. But
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I have seen photos that she has been there. And
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: in 2013, she was very active promoting this ocean work
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: that she was doing. And apparently everybody from the UN
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to CNN to the TED Talk people thought it was
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: worth giving her a platform. Question. Madam Clinton, one of
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the jobs you did for the CGI was helping and
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: maybe even directing and planning of the annual meetings. Is
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: that correct? Answer. No. The staff plans the annual meeting
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and they make a report and we offer suggestions. Question.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: In 2013, Maxwell was recognized ASA committed to Action Leader. Clinton,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: she made a commitment in 2013, along with hundreds, maybe
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: thousands of other people. Question, so I find it notable
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: that in 2011, Doug Band says that he directed the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Clinton Foundation staff to bar Maxwell from receiving an invite
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to CGI or the Clinton Foundation events. I'd like to
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: know who overruled Doug Band's suggestion to bar Maxwell. Lawyer, objection,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: based on hearsay, states facts, not in evidence. You can
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: ask the witness if she knows anything about it. Answer,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I know nothing about it. Question by the chairman. One moment, Ms. Boebert.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: The federal rules of evidence don't apply in depositions. Clinton,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that's fine. I don't know anything about it. Boebert, okay.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: And so would you also not have any indication that
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: who she was personally recommended by to receive such an order? Answer,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I was secretary of state. I was not involved in
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the CGI planning or operation agreement. Question, your husband presented
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that award or is that true? Answer, I have no idea. Question, okay.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: And then just a couple more questions. So regarding the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Epstein files, there are many files where Jeffrey Epstein seems
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to speak as though he does know you personally. In
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: one file, EFTA 0657115, Mr. Epstein is commenting and he quotes, Hey,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton is much prettier in person. This was Tuesday,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: September 20th, 2011. Hillary Clinton, I'm going to object to that.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Lawyer jumps in, Congresswoman, can we see the documents because
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: we don't think. Lawyer says, we should get that document.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Bober just keeps going. Question, Jeffrey Epstein has also commented
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that meetings with Hillary are not easily discreet. Has he
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: ever connected someone to meet with you? Answer, not that
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I'm aware of. Question, okay, I'm going to let my
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: colleagues ask some questions. Maybe I'll be back. Thank you. Speaker,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: thank you. And we'll let staff. Speaker jumps in, Secretary Clinton.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Just to circle back to a few things, you mentioned
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that your daughter, Chelsea, had a friendly relationship. Is that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: correct with Ms. Maxwell? Answer, I believe so. Question, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: did Chelsea tell you what made that relationship friendly? Answer again,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: it was through Ted Waite, the longtime friend of ours.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: That's how I certainly met her. Question, so Chelsea met
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Ghislaine through Ted Waite as well? Answer, I believe that's right. Question,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and I believe that you testified earlier, Ted Waite's been
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a family friend for 30 years or something to that effect. Answer,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: early 90s, yes. Question, and having a friend that long,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: you never discussed Ms. Maxwell with Mr. Waite? Answer, I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: don't discuss the relationship of my friends. That's up to them. Question,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and to be clear, you never discussed Ms. Maxwell's relationship
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: with Mr. Waite? Answer, not that I recall. My memory
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: is that shortly after the wedding on July 31st, 2010,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: shortly after that, they broke up. And shortly after that,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: he married somebody else. I know nothing about the relationship.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I'm just describing what I believe was the chronology. Question understood.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And upon that breakup, as you said, Mr. Waite never
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: said anything to the effect of why they broke up?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Answer not to me. He didn't. Question. And circling the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: 2013 CGI annual conference that's been brought up on a
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: few occasions today. Clinton, yeah, indeed. Question. I believe you
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: said you didn't remember seeing Ms. Maxwell there. Is that correct? Answer.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I don't recall seeing her there. Question. and you had
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: no interaction with her at all? Answer, not that I recall. Question,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: after this 2013 annual conference at CGI, did anyone raise
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: any concerns to you about Ms. Maxwell being there? Answer,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: not that I recall. Question, separate from the 2013 event,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: did Mr. Band ever raise concerns about Maxwell to you? Answer,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: not that I recall. Question, and again, just to clarify,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: did Mr. Band ever attempt to blacklist Ms. Maxwell? From
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: any Clinton Foundation or CGI event? Answer, not that I
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: know of, but I can't say that I would have known. Question,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: when did Mr. Band leave the foundation? Answer, I don't know.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Question, does 2012 sound possible? Answer, I
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: don't know. It was during my time as Secretary of State.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have an answer to no. Question, who would
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: have final decisions over the list of individuals or entities
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that would get recognized at a CGI event? Answer, it
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: was a staff decision. Question, if the staff made the decision,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: would the board have any input on that? Answer, not
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: that I'm aware of. They might make suggestions as to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: people that should be contacted or followed up with. But
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know specifically that I certainly don't know anything
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: about her involvement. Question understood and suggestions. What type of
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: suggestions would they make on individuals or entities? Answer, oh,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: they might say this person's doing great work on affordable
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: housing or this person. has done some really exciting hygiene work,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: trying to improve the well-being of people in some countries.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: It would be things like that. So maybe invite the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: person because we can maybe introduce this person to somebody
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: who's interested in doing the same kind of work. And
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: maybe they can make a commitment together. Question, are you
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: aware of President Clinton having lunch or other types of
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: meals with Ms. Maxwell in 2014? Answer, I don't recall
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: knowing that. Question, have you since been made aware of
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the fact Answer, yes, I have been. Question, and was
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: that in preparation for the deposition? Answer, it was. Question,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: are you aware of any other more recent meetings between
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Maxwell and any members of your family? Answer, I am not. Question,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: does the Clinton Foundation often use jets of other individuals
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: for foundation business? Answer, yes. Question, and that's still a
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: common practice today? Answer, I don't know how common it is,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: but it has been in the past. Question, And were
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: there any other type of aircraft that you were aware
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: of President Clinton traveling on with Epstein? Answer, not that
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I'm aware of. Question, Secretary Clinton. Do you know who
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Nicholas Sarkozy is? Answer, I do. The former president of France. Question,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and do you recall when he was president of France? Answer,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: he was president while I was Secretary of State, but
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know his actual years of term. Question, I'm
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: going to introduce his Majority Exhibit 17. An email from
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the Department of Justice release of the Epstein-related files. Just
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: give us a second. We'll provide that to you all. Lawyer, also,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: while we have a break, I think Congressman Perry, we
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: wound up with at least three of your pages here,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: two pages. So they get back to it. Secretary Clinton,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: this is an email, the top of the page says,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to Olivier Cologne. I will stipulate to you that he
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: was an advisor to President Sarkozy. It's bait-stamped EFTA 019-49592.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: The original email here is from Mr. Cologne, and he asked,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: could you organize a discreet meeting between Sarko and Hillary
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Clinton in New York? If not, who should I ask? Mr.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Epstein replies, meetings with Hillary are not easily discreet. When?
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: We started to touch on this earlier. Are you aware
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of Mr. Epstein or any of his staff reaching out
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to anyone on your staff to set up a meeting? Answer,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I am not aware, and I find it kind of
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: weird because I know Sarkozy. If somebody was seeking a
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: meeting with me and Sarkozy, he would not have needed
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: to go through anybody else. He could have contacted me directly.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Question understood. And just to be clear, have you seen
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: this email exchange previously? Answer yes. Question, and that was
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: in preparation for your deposition. Answer yes. Question, but no
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: prior awareness of this email chain? Answer, none whatsoever. Question,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: did Mr. Epstein or any of his agents attempt to
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: set up any other meetings with you? Answer, not that
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I know of. but I have no idea what they
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: thought they were trying to do. Question, Secretary Clinton. We've
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: touched on this a little bit, but just to make
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: sure the record is totally clear here. Have you said
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that you've never been to Mr. Epstein's island? Is that correct? Answer,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: you know what? I'm so tired of answering that question.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: If you have one scintilla of evidence to the contrary,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: put it forward. I've never been on the island, period.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I've never been in his homes, his offices, his anything.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: So I don't know how many times you have to
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: say the same thing over and over and over again.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and I'm just struggling with the relevance of all of this,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: but no, I never have been. Question, and based off
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: that response, that would include, you have never been to Mr.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Epstein's Manhattan townhome? Answer, no. His New Mexico ranch, no.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: His Palm Beach residence, no. His Paris apartment, no. I
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: didn't know he had one. Haven't been there. Also find
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: it very interesting because I went back and looked at
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the transcripts of all your other depositions, and none of
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the Republicans asked a single question to any witness about
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein, or any question that would help provide answers
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: for his victims to any of the people you deposed.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: In fact, the only questions that were asked were asked
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: by the chairman to Attorney General Barr. And what was
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that about? They weren't about Jeffrey Epstein. They weren't about
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Glenn Maxwell. They weren't about his victims or survivors. They
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: were General Barr. I may jump in for a couple questions.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Were you aware of the involvement of Hillary Clinton and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the Clinton campaign in Russian collusion investigation involving Trump? Chairman Comer,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: this is a deposition, Ms. Clinton. She cuts him off. Well,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying you have kept me here for four
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: hours asking the same questions over and over again. I've
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: given the same answers over and over again. Comer, Madam Secretary,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: we will. Clinton, not a single Republican. Comer, if you
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: could give us just a minute, gets cut off again
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: by Hillary Clinton. At any of your depositions, has asked
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: a question about Epstein or Maxwell. And it does seem
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to me that if the members were truly interested in
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: getting to the truth, you would have asked Barr, Acosta, Wexner.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: You didn't even show up. Comer, Madam Secretary, I believe
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: we are very close to finishing. Lawyer, or the person
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: asking the questions, Madam Secretary, did Jeffrey Epstein ever request
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: any meeting with your State Department officials? Answer, not that
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I'm aware of. Lawyer jumps in, that's been asked and answered, Counsel.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: She said she's never talked to him. She said that repeatedly. Clinton, well,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I guess they have to hear it over and over again.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Person asking the questions, I think he can rely on
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: your previous answer. Clinton, yeah, whatever. Question, did Maxwell ever
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: request any meeting between you and your State Department officials? Clinton,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: not that I'm aware of. Question, are you aware of
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: any communication between your State Department staff and Mr. Epstein
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: or Ms. Maxwell? Answer, I am not. Lawyer, yeah, it's
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the third and final round. She's staying. Next up, asking questions,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Nancy Mace. And that's where we're going to pick up
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: in the next episode. All the information that goes with
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: this episode can be found in the description box.
