Bill Clinton's camp urges Trump to publish all Epstein records referencing former president
WASHINGTON, DC: A spokesperson for former President Bill Clinton has urged the Trump administration to release any remaining materials from the Jeffrey Epstein case that mention or reference Clinton.
The Clinton camp on Monday, December 22, accused the Justice Department of selectively disclosing documents in a way that fueled insinuations without providing full context.
Bill Clinton's spokesperson urges Trump to release every record
In a statement, Clinton spokesperson Angel Ureña called on President Donald Trump to direct Attorney General Pam Bondi to immediately make public all remaining Epstein-related records that referred to the former president.
"These include grand jury transcripts, interview notes, photographs and any other materials that may contain Clinton’s name or image. We call on President Trump to direct Attorney General Bondi to immediately release any remaining materials referring to, mentioning or containing a photograph of Bill Clinton,” Ureña said.
Ureña argued that the piecemeal release of documents risked misleading the public and undermined claims of transparency made by the administration.
“Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the Department of Justice’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation,” he said.
The spokesperson added that selective disclosures appeared designed to imply wrongdoing by individuals who, he said, have already been “repeatedly cleared by the very same Department of Justice, over many years, under Presidents and Attorneys General of both parties.”
New DOJ release ignites fresh backlash
The Justice Department has begun releasing thousands of pages of files tied to Jeffrey Epstein under the statutory mandate of the 'Epstein Files Transparency Act', signed into law by Trump earlier this year.
The initial tranche included heavily redacted photos and documents dating back decades, including images showing former President Clinton in social settings with Epstein and associates.
While the DOJ said that it was still processing additional records and protecting victim identities through redactions, critics argued that the public rollout has been uneven and politically charged.
Some files featuring other prominent figures have been temporarily removed from the department’s online repository, allegedly including an image with President Trump that was later restored after public backlash.
Bill Clinton's team condemns the timing and context
In the wake of these releases, Clinton’s spokesperson sharply criticized the White House and Justice Department, arguing that the selective nature and timing of the disclosures were misleading and politically motivated.
In a statement posted, Ureña charged that the administration was using the documents to “shield themselves from what comes next” rather than to truly increase transparency.
“The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton,” Ureña said, referring to the timing of the release.
“This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they’ll try and hide forever. They can release as many grainy, 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton. Never has been, never will be,” he said.
Ureña also framed the controversy as one of political deflection rather than accountability, contrasting Clinton’s conduct with that of others he claimed maintained relationships with Epstein after his conduct was publicly known.
“There are two types of people here,” he said. “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,” he added.
