White House aides Steven Cheung and Karoline Leavitt react to Bill Clinton's photos in Epstein files

WASHINGTON, DC: The White House aides spotlighted photos of former President Bill Clinton in the Epstein files. After the Justice Department released thousands of new documents Friday, December 19, linked to Jeffrey Epstein, White House aides Karoline Leavitt and Steven Cheung commented on Clinton’s images. 

Notably, the files also feature high-profile celebrities, including Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger, pop star Michael Jackson, and others.

White House aides comment on Bill Clinton's images from Epstein files

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and communications director Steven Cheung both shared a post from another user showing an image of a shirtless former President Bill Clinton in a jacuzzi with another person whose face was redacted.

Cheung commented, “Slick Willy! @BillClinton just chillin, without a care in the world. Little did he know…!” on his White House X account.

In another tweet, Cheung shared an additional picture of Clinton with a different person whose face was redacted, writing, “Jumpman, Jumpman, Jumpman… that boy up to somethin.’”

Meanwhile, Leavitt posted, “Oh my!” from her own account, along with an emoji expressing shock with eyes wide open. The origin and date of the photographs remain unclear.

Bill Clinton’s spokesperson shares statement in response to Epstein files

Bill Clinton’s spokesperson, Angel Urena, criticized the newly released Epstein files, which included several images of Clinton alongside Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and other high-profile figures. Urena confirmed that Clinton had no relationship with Epstein after his criminal behavior became known.

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

He dismissed the significance of the newly circulated images, calling them outdated and misleading. “They can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton,” Urena wrote.

He also referenced a recent Vanity Fair interview with Susie Wiles, noting that she had acknowledged Donald Trump was wrong in suggesting the files contained incriminating evidence against the former Democratic president. “Even Susie Wiles said Donald Trump was wrong about Bill Clinton,” Urena said.

Urena added, “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."
