From bitter barbs to screaming matches and more, the Clintons testifying on Epstein made headlines.
They would have made more had Donald Trump not ignited a multinational war in the Middle East.
Former President Bill Clinton was an Epstein associate. His testimony, though extraordinary, makes a kind of sense.
But what was the photo that prompted the former POTUS to grin and chuckle to himself?
This is odd
On Monday, March 2, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee released footage from the hours-long depositions of the Clintons.
(It seems likely that, had there been findings during the testimony, that GOP leadership would have released the footage at a better time, and not quietly dropping videos while Trump wages an illegal war in Iran.)
Hillary has famously testified before, often on absurd pretexts.
Initially, her testimony was behind some viral moments — primarily concerning noted Beetlejuice fan Lauren Boebert leaking photos (plural) of the former Secretary of State.
Former President Clinton’s testimony was unprecedented. He seemingly charmed even Republicans, true to his reputation, despite offering testimony about Trump.
Bill Clinton: And he somehow knew I had flown in Jeffrey Epstein’s aircraft. And he said, “You know, we had some great times together over the years, but we fell out all because of a real estate deal.” and he said, “I’m sorry it happened.”
One particular moment from the former POTUS’ testimony stands out, however.
The table before Clinton had specific documents from the Epstein Files.
One throwback appeared to make him grin and even chuckle.
It is unclear which photo elicited this response — let alone why.
At one point, he and his attorney appeared to have a quiet tug-of-war over the photo. Clinton was the victor.
What was going through his head?
There are numerous uncharitable interpretations for Clinton’s mood. It’s unlikely that it’s anything more from true judgment.
Truth be told, no matter how long and largely boring a deposition before Congress might be, there’s a time and a place for chuckling.
No matter the context — however innocuous in and of itself — of a photo, nothing related to Epstein is a laughing matter.
(We should all remember that, no matter how absurd the typos in his very short emails seem to be, or how much even this class of creep seems to loathe Elon Musk’s attempts to ingratiate himself with them.)
Clinton should know that. C’mon, man.
Q: Did you ever have any communications with Mr Epstein that related to young women or girls?
BILL CLINTON: No
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) March 2, 2026 at 4:51 PM
The former President testified that he was unaware of Epstein’s criminal conduct.
In 2008, authorities busted the notorious pedophile in Florida for soliciting sex from a minor.
Since then, the world has learned that this was far from the first time.
Clinton testified that, had he “any inkling” of Epstein’s true nature before his 2008 arrest, he would have turned him in sooner.
Whether anyone believes that is up to them. It could be true. To our knowledge, Clinton is not implicated in the more horrific Epstein crimes.
What should we really make of this?
Love him or hate him, more or less everyone can agree that Clinton is accomplished at dissembling.
President Obama gave extraordinary speeches. Clinton’s talents were more personal, engaging with people more directly — and saying what they wanted to hear.
Even his fans say this. The real key to his success was perhaps his inhuman levels of rizz.
He was a smart, charismatic man — even if some of his policies drove the Democratic Party to the right, and even decades later, our nation desperately needs to claw its way back to reason.
Unfortunately, opinions on Clinton are all over the spectrum. It’s likely that anyone’s response to his deposition before the Oversight Committee is seen through that filter.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been pivoting away from the MAGAsphere in recent months.
And now, she’s dropping a bombshell that’s sure to anger the Trump faithful even more.
In response to a tweet claiming that JD Vance was the true architect of the recent strike on Iran, Greene alleged that Vance is simply the Trump administration’s favorite scapegoat.
“VP JD Vance reportedly swayed President Trump to launch a large attack with the purpose of toppling the Iranian government rather than a smaller, limited strike intended to spur negotiations,” reads the original tweet from America First Post.
“Ohhh. @JDVance did it. They hate JD. They don’t ever want him to be President,” Greene replied:
“So now that they f–ked up so bad and they are getting our military members killed for Israel, it’s JD’s fault. Not Trump’s fault. Or any of the neocons screaming 24/7 in his ear. What’s the truth?”
Elsewhere in the AFP post, General Dan Caine claimed that the military “proposed both options” to Trump on February 18.
“Before Vance weighed in, Trump was partial to the smaller, limited strike,” the account wrote.
“Caine warned that the second option could drain US munitions, result in American casualties, and spiral out of control.”
Not surprisingly, Greene’s post attracted quite a bit of criticism from Trump supporters:
“You called MAGA a ‘lie’ after your grand exit? Please. Trump’s turning promises into action, Vance is the loyal wingman crushing neocons from within. Real patriots stick around for the fight – you bailed. MAGA’s thriving without the drama queens. Winning!” one commenter wrote (via Radar Online).
“Dang, Laura Loomer is so vindicated by your behavior,” another critic claimed, going on to call Greene an “absolute disappointment,” another added.
“JD Vance will be president. Unlike you, who will forever be a joke,” a third chimed in.
This is not the first time that insiders have suggested that Vance has been scapegoated for the decisions of the Trump administration.
Throughout January, Vance defended the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti before the Trump administration pulled an about-face by withdrawing ICE troops from Minnesota.
Was Vance put up to the task?
We may never know. But whatever the case, he’s now the poster boy for some of Trump’s most unpopular endeavors.

TLC has officially booked the return of Welcome to Plathville.
But the long-running reality show will look very different this spring than it looked in the past.
For starters, Olivia Plath has already said she will NOT return to the program… not after she and Ethan Plath ended their marriage and Olivia very quickly moved on with her life.
Now, meanwhile, in the first trailer for Welcome to Plathville Season 8, we hear Lydia decree on air: “Everyone’s stepping into a whole new chapter in their lives.”
She does so as we check out footage of newlyweds Lydia and Zac Wyse, the latter of whom was unwittingly involved in family drama last season after Isaac and Micah Plath got into a brawl at his wedding.
“I’ve been angry,” Lydia says in the trailer. “I’ve been really upset at my family for what they did.”
The preview also feature Plath matriarch Kim returning to the family farm in Georgia, ready to concentrate on her future and her rekindled relationship with boyfriend Ken Palmer.
While Kim seems happy in this relationship, though, she’s well aware that things are very fractured between her and Lydia. She’ll try to mend fences in a number of uncomfortable ways.
“I smoked pot in college, also known as a doobie,” Kim tells a confused Lydia during one of their mother-daughter bonding attempts.
In another scene, the two have a more serious discussion about their strained connection.
“You and I used to be really close before the divorce,” Kim says, to which Lydia (who has often slammed her loved ones as fake Christians) responds:
“Whenever I would talk to you, it just felt like I was talking to a brick wall.”
Season 7 of Welcome to Plathville wrapped up with Kim and Barry Plath celebrating the official end of their 24-year marriage and the news that they had at last finalized their divorce.
On future episodes, fans will see what Barry acts like as a single man while searching for a potential partner that has “the Sandra Bullock look,” according to the patriarch.
“I’m single and ready to mingle,” a back-on-the-dating-scene Barry declares.
For his part, Ethan Plath will make a “bold move” in the hopes of maintaining his relationship with girlfriend Teegan… while younger brother Isaac fears his relationship with girlfriend Kaylynn is moving too quickly.
Elsewhere: Micah Plath will be trying to rebuild his life after splitting from Veronica Peters; and Moriah Plath will be hoping to find peace in Montana.
Welcome to Plathville Season 8 premieres March 31 on TLC.

You don’t need to be “crazy” to murder someone.
But while the mentally ill are more likely to be the victims of a violent crime than to commit one, some murderers seem like they have something going on.
Is paying for liquor using blood-soaked bills and then gouging out your eyes enough to avoid a trial?
Warning: this story contains upsetting details including a brutal murder and act of self-mutilation.
Robert Brandon Keller is in a world of trouble
On October 14, 2024, 43-year-old Bruce Dupree was found dying on the side of the road.
He had numerous stab wounds.
The injuries included his torso, his head, his hands, his arms, and his neck.
First responders raced into action to attempt to save Dupree’s life.
Unfortunately, they were unable to do so, and Dupree passed away from his injuries a short time later.
When a break in the case came, it doesn’t appear to have been the result of super-sleuthing.
A liquor store employee contacted authorities after a man with literal blood on his hands paid for purchases with cash that was also covered in blood.
Police responded to the tip and arrested 32-year-old Robert Brandon Keller.
They charged him with two counts of murder, armed robbery, hijacking a motor vehicle, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm or knife in the commission of a felony.
The crime for which Keller is accused is already unthinkable — ending a life for so little. But a new, gruesome twist was soon to come.
This is where the story takes another gruesome turn
According to court documents, Keller took a ghoulish action during custody that most would find unthinkable.
He allegedly gouged out both of his eyes and bit off part of his tongue.
Naturally, the court ordered psychological exams to determine whether he was competent to stand trial after this seemingly deranged behavior.
Competency to stand trial has very specific standards. It goes beyond someone doing something clearly irrational — such as paying for alcohol in blood-soaked bills, or mutilating yourself.
Shockingly, two psychologists determined that Keller is competent to stand trial.
Dr. Jeremy Gay determined that Keller “was not suffering from either a delusional compulsion at the time of the crime or an inability to distinguish right and wrong at the time of the crime.”
Dr. Daniel Fass attested that Keller’s mental capacity and ability to represent his interests in court “were much better than a lot of the people” whom he evaluates.
Another piece of evidence may have been a deciding factor for the court.
A jailer testified at a February hearing that Keller “was not mental and that he said he heard voices to cover his ass.”
The trial has not yet been scheduled. All things considered, Keller may have a long time in the dark to contemplate his situation.

Kaley Cuoco is doing the common celebrity thing where she’s revealing how another star was rude to her on set early in her career.
But unlike most actors who spill that sort of tea, Kaley is naming names!
Yes, during her recent appearance on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast, Kaley spoke about being rudely snubbed by Rose McGowan during her time on “Charmed.”
Kaley joined the cast in the show’s eighth season, and she says she was not warmly greeted by Rose, who was one of the show’s three stars since day one.
“You know when you do so many things and you just forget about terrible moments? Imagine this: I’ve never met anyone. It’s their gallery shoot,” Cuoco said, adding:
“I’m the new girl. You’ve got Alyssa Milano, Rose McGowan, and Holly Marie Combs. I’ve never met them. Think about that. I’m joining their family photo, and I’m 21.”
Kaley went on to say that things were awkward with Rose right from the jump:
“I walk in that gallery, and I am so freaking nervous. It’s on their lunch break. They’re all in the corners eating,” she said, adding:
“I walk in, Alyssa Milano sees me, and – I will always tell this story about her – she got up, ran over to me, and welcomed me to the show, gave me the biggest hug in the world, so happy, so kind. I will never forget that.”
“Rose [was] maybe not as happy. I don’t know. I still don’t know if she likes me.
“I don’t know. But Alyssa was amazing. I was terrified. It’s a weird thing coming into a show with them in year eight, and I only did the one season.”
This is not the first time that Kaley has hinted at friction with Rose:
“I came into ‘Charmed’ really not thinking anything other than I got this cool job. It was intense and difficult,” she said in a recent interview with The Independent.
“There were a few people on that show that were wonderful to me, and there were a few people that weren’t. I remember them both very clearly.”
Well, we now know at least one person who falls into the “not wonderful” column.
These days, Cuoco is happily married to Tom Pelphrey, and she remains one of TV’s most in-demand actresses.
McGowan has yet to respond to her former co-star’s allegations of rudeness. But she has a reputation as a bit of a firebrand, so we wouldn’t be surprised if she claps back soon!
