The House Oversight Committee’s deposition of Hillary Clinton was paused after Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert sent a photo of the closed-door proceeding to a conservative influencer.
Benny Johnson, a right-wing Youtuber, posted a photo of Clinton at the deposition online and said Boebert had provided it.

The deposition is being recorded on video, but Comer has said that will only be released after Clinton’s attorneys have a chance to review it. The committee’s rules do not allow outside press or photographers to take photos of the proceedings.
Boebert says ‘why not?’ send photo of Hillary Clinton in closed door deposition
Boebert, R-Colo., was defiant in remarks to reporters as she left the closed-door deposition for Hillary Clinton.
Boebert had violated committee protocol by sharing a photo of Clinton with a conservative influencer who posted it online.
When asked why she had shared the photo, Boebert responded, “Why not?”
Boebert also sarcastically said she admired Clinton’s blue suit and wanted to show it to everyone.
