Thanks for having me.

Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State and First Lady, is giving a closed-door deposition to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee up in Chippewa, the city in New York where she lives, on Thursday.

And

The lawmakers want to ask her basically why Epstein helped raise money for her family foundation and why Epstein attended her daughter Chelsea's wedding, among other things.

And they basically want to get to the heart of how Epstein was able to cultivate this circle of

high power, high profile figures from around the world as he simultaneously allegedly ran a network of sex trafficking.

In addition, former President Bill Clinton, Hillary's husband, of course, is set to give a deposition on Friday to the same committee also in Chappaqua.

Well, their names and in Andrew's case, many pictures have been released among those three million documents that the Justice Department has released under a new law that Congress passed that President Trump signed.

calling for the release of all Epstein materials.

Well, they're still muddling through how much of that file is going to be released.

Right now, it's somewhere in the vicinity of half.

There are still millions of documents that have not been publicly released.

But among the documents are pictures of Andrew visiting Epstein.

And in one provocative picture, he is on the floor of a room bending over a woman who is lying on the floor.

What's interesting about the arrest on suspicion of criminal charges is that they deal with confidential government records, both his and Mandelson's, rather than sexual allegations.

So part of what investigators are looking for

as they look through all the documents that have been released, and in the case of lawmakers who can look at the documents that are still under seal at the Justice Department, is whether there are other co-conspirators that could potentially face criminal charges in the sex trafficking that Epstein was accused of conducting.

So for right now, Andrews and Mandelson's criminal exposure is more toward

confidential government records, and we'll have to see whether that leads toward any sexual allegations.

Some lawmakers have been critical about how the Justice Department has handled this case.
