Representative Lauren Boebert defended her actions after taking and sharing an unauthorized photo of Hillary Clinton during a closed-door House Oversight Committee deposition tied to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
The image, which was passed to a conservative commentator and later circulated online, violated committee rules that prohibit photography during private proceedings.
The incident prompted a temporary pause in Clinton’s testimony while officials addressed the breach before the session eventually continued.
Boebert publicly stood by the decision to share the image, dismissing concerns over the violation as the deposition moved forward.
Clinton’s appearance before the panel was part of an ongoing congressional inquiry into Epstein’s network and connections, with proceedings continuing after the brief disruption.
