Videos of the testimony made by former president Bill Clinton and secretary of state Hillary Clinton have been released by the House Oversight Committee.
The two videos, which are both around four-and-a-half hours long, were posted days after the Clintons answered questions in front of the Republican-led committee about the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
In the footage, a clearly angry Hillary Clinton threatens to walk out after one of her lawyers reveals that a photo from inside the deposition room has been leaked to the public.
She says: “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 behaviour.”
Hillary Clinton then points at one of the members of the committee, bangs the table and adds: “It doesn’t matter. We are all abiding by the same rules.”
Bill Clinton has admitted flying on Epstein’s plane in the early 2000s for humanitarian work – before Epstein was charged – and has denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
In his deposition, he recalls a conversation he had with Donald Trump about Epstein “20-something years ago”.

He said: “[Trump] never said anything to me to make me think he was involved in anything improper with regard to Epstein either. He just didn’t.
“He just said ‘we were friends and then we had a falling out over a land deal, property deal’. That’s all.”
Epstein also visited the White House numerous times during Clinton’s presidency.
Hillary Clinton has said she does not remember meeting Epstein, but has acknowledged Maxwell was an “acquaintance”.
Neither has been charged with any wrongdoing.
After completing his hours of testimony on Friday, Bill Clinton posted on X: “Though my brief acquaintance with Epstein ended years before his crimes came to light, and though I never witnessed during our limited interactions any indication with what was truly going on, I offered the little I do know in the hopes that it would help prevent anything like this from ever happening again.
“When the video of my testimony today is released, I hope it will motivate everyone to go in front of Congress to say what they know. I hope it will motivate the justice department to finally release all the files and to ensure that this never happens again.”
