Trump weighs in on upcoming Clinton House depositions: ‘It’s a shame’

The Clintons agreed to filmed depositions after the House Oversight Committee threatened contempt, with Hillary testifying Feb. 26 and Bill on Feb. 27, Chair Comer said.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump responded in the Oval Office, calling the Clinton depositions `a shame` and saying `I hate to see it in many ways`.
  • Under pressure from subpoenas, the Clintons agreed to testify after the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform moved toward a House contempt vote, with attorneys calling the subpoenas `legally invalid` and a `ploy to attempt to embarrass political rivals`.
  • The agreement sets filmed and transcribed depositions, with James Comer scheduling Hillary Clinton for Feb. 26 and Bill Clinton for Feb. 27.
  • Their legal team objected to last‑minute stipulations and framed the move as unfair, arguing open recording `will best suit our concerns about fairness` and Angel Ureña said the committee did not negotiate in good faith.
  • Given the high-profile subjects, filmed depositions could shape public perception as Trump has repeatedly downplayed interest in Epstein and said he `always liked` Bill and that Hillary is `a very capable woman`.
