After a potential vote loomed to hold the Clintons in contempt for initially refusing to appear before the committee, they agreed to cooperate. However, Hillary took to social media on Thursday, February 5, to express her frustration with the proceedings, asserting they had engaged with the committee in “good faith” despite what she views as constantly changing demands.
“We told them what we know, under oath,” Hillary stated on X. “They ignored all of it.”
