Bill Clinton Responds To Shocking Photos In Epstein File Dump

Former President Bill Clinton is claiming he’s being scapegoated in the wake of the latest Epstein file dump that featured jarring new photos of Clinton with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted pedophile.

Clinton appears in a number of the images released by the Department of Justice in accordance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was signed into law by President Donald Trump last month.

Some of the photos show Clinton swimming in a pool with convicted Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell and in a hot tub with at least one unidentified female whose face has been redacted, as reported by The Daily Wire. Notably, according to the DOJ, the only faces that would be redacted would be those of minors, alleged victims, and government officials.

Clinton chief of staff Angel Ureña responded in a statement posted to X on Friday evening, saying Clinton cut ties with Epstein after his “crimes came to light” and is being scapegoated by the Trump administration.

“There are two types of people here. The first group knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light,” Ureña said. “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,” he added.

“The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton,” the statement from Ureña said. “This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they’ll try and hide forever. 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.”

Epstein visited the White House multiple times while Clinton was president, according to visitor logs. Additionally, after Clinton left office, Epstein assisted with some of the former president’s philanthropy and Clinton flew numerous times on Epstein’s private jet, the Associated Press reports.

Clinton was impeached in 1998 for lying under oath and obstructing justice when he denied engaging in a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky, who was 22 years old when the affair started. The former president ultimately confessed to a relationship with Lewinsky, while stressing that “even presidents have private lives.”
