Reporting from Chappaqua, New York<\/p>\n

We\u2019re nearly two hours into former President Bill Clinton\u2019s testimony.<\/p>\n

There are a few extra news crews here, but the rhythm of the day is pretty similar to yesterday. We heard from both Republicans and Democrats before the deposition started on their respective talking points and will hear from them throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Then we got a copy of Clinton\u2019s opening statement, just as we did with Hillary Clinton yesterday. Towards the end of his comments, he warned the committee that he would use the phrase \u201cI don\u2019t recall\u201d often and acknowledged that might be unsatisfying.<\/p>\n

Despite that, we just heard from the Republican Representative from Florida, Anna Paulina Luna who seemed pretty satisfied so far. <\/p>\n

She believes Clinton is being transparent and cooperative. She also said that she would be calling on the oversight committee to subpoena the women listed on Epstein\u2019s non prosecution agreement.<\/p>\n

Anyone who has been following the Epstein case and Ghislaine Maxwell\u2019s criminal conviction knows they have valuable information, perhaps much more than some of the powerful men that associated with the convicted sex offender, but didn\u2019t know about his crimes.<\/p>\n

We are in the early hours of this deposition, when it ends, we will see if Bill Clinton approaches the cameras to speak as Hillary Clinton did, or if he\u2019ll pass on the opportunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two hours into Clinton’s testimony – here’s where things standpublished at 18:09 GMT 18:09 GMT Nada TawfikReporting from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":256491,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,3,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":{"0":"post-494157","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-united-states-of-america","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","14":"tag-us","15":"tag-usa"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=494157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=494157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
