Hillary Clinton locked horns with Nancy Mace while the former secretary of state was deposed about Jeffrey Epstein last week — and their heated back-and-forth was caught on newly released video.
The GOP-led House Oversight Committee grilled Clinton for hours during her February 26 deposition over her alleged ties to Epstein, which Hillary said did not exist.
Things turned ugly when Mace, a Republican congresswoman from South Carolina, pressed Clinton about how she knew Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Lutnick has recently faced intense scrutiny over his past association with Epstein, who was convicted in 2008 of soliciting a minor for prostitution in Florida.
Check out the clip, released Monday by the oversight committee ... Hillary said she met Lutnick after 650 of his employees at Cantor Fitzgerald — a financial services firm in the World Trade Center — were killed during the 9/11 attacks in 2001, when Clinton was serving as a U.S. senator from New York.
At one point during the deposition, Mace interrupted Clinton, claiming the ex-senator was trying to dance around the question. The congresswoman also pointed out she's a survivor of rape, just like Epstein's numerous victims.
Mace then cited an email from Lutnick to Epstein, which asked the convicted pedophile to donate money to Hillary for a political event at Cantor Fitzgerald.
That's when Clinton fought back, raising her voice and telling Mace to let her finish answering the question. Clinton also tried to sympathize with Mace over her past sexually assaulted ... but it did little to ease the tension. Not helping the matter was already heightened tension, spurred by Clinton storming out of the deposition earlier in the day after learning a photo of it had been leaked.
