Clinton Camp Responds After Damaging Epstein Files Pictures Go Viral [WATCH]

The Justice Department on Friday released long-awaited files connected to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, complying with a congressional deadline that has renewed public scrutiny of high-profile figures linked to Epstein and reignited debate over accountability, transparency, and unresolved allegations.

The release followed a mandate set by Congress requiring the department to turn over records by December 19 under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was signed into law by President Donald Trump on November 19.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that the investigation identified more than 1,200 victims and their families, according to reporting earlier Friday.

The document release included thousands of pages of materials, many of them heavily redacted, as well as photographs that quickly drew widespread attention.

Among the most circulated images were multiple photos of former President Bill Clinton appearing with Epstein in various settings, including dinners, travel, and leisure environments.

Some of the photographs show Clinton with unidentified women in pools, a jacuzzi, and at social gatherings.

The images spread rapidly online and across media outlets, prompting a public response from Clinton through a spokesperson later Friday.

In a statement reported by the Daily Mail, the spokesperson criticized the timing and intent of the release.

“The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton,” the spokesperson said.

“This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they’ll try and hide forever.”

The spokesperson added that the release was not centered on Clinton.

“So they can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be.”

This is a story about Democrats and Bill Clinton, not Donald Trump — and it always has been.

We should be calling it the “Clinton files.”

The statement also referenced comments made by Susie Wiles in a recent Vanity Fair interview.

“Even Susie Wiles said Donald Trump was wrong about Bill Clinton,” the spokesperson said, referring to Wiles’ remark that “Trump was wrong” about there being incriminating evidence against Clinton in the files.

The spokesperson further stated, “There are two types of people here. The first group knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light. The second group continued relationships with him after. We’re in the first. No amount of stalling by people in the second group will change that. Everyone, especially MAGA, expects answers, not scapegoats.”

Clinton has previously said he cut off ties with Epstein in 2005, when investigations into Epstein became widely known.

The two had been associated since the early 1990s, and Clinton’s name has appeared in flight logs, photographs, and other records connected to Epstein over the years.

Clinton has denied any wrongdoing and has not been charged with any crime related to Epstein.

The release of the files has also renewed attention on how different administrations handled Epstein-related records.

The Biden White House held the files for several years prior to the passage of the transparency law.

The Friday release occurred on the deadline established by Congress rather than at the discretion of the executive branch.

Epstein died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

His death was ruled a suicide, but questions surrounding his activities, associates, and the handling of his case have persisted.

Many victims of Epstein have said they have yet to receive full justice or accountability from those who enabled or ignored his crimes.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act was authored to compel the release of unclassified materials related to Epstein’s network and activities.

Supporters of the law argued that public disclosure was necessary to address lingering questions about who knew what and when.

As of Friday, the release of the files has intensified calls for testimony from individuals named in or connected to Epstein-related records.

Former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have previously been scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Committee.

Their appearance has been postponed multiple times and is currently set for January 13, according to congressional scheduling information.
