House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer talks to a person who was interrupting him as he spoke to reporters after former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not appear for a closed-door deposition in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill on Jan. 14, 2026, in Washington, D.C.

The man can be heard shouting, "Congressman, did you enter their sworn statements into the record?" in reference to the Clintons.
"Hey, get him out of here. You're not even a reporter," Comer said.
A few minutes later, when announcing the committee would depose Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, the man began again, prompting Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., to comment, "Hey, the Cartoon Network called, and they want you to take your job back."

But the chaos did not end there, as the man approached Comer when he began walking away.
He walked close by Comer, even appearing to make physical contact at one point, which prompted Capitol Police officers to separate the man from the GOP lawmakers.
The man appeared to be let off with a warning after police took a photograph of his identification.
