- Clinton's spokesperson demands full release of any remaining Epstein-related records, accusing the DOJ of protecting someone and urging Trump to compel disclosures.
- Released files show social ties between Epstein and many elites but contain no evidence accusing Clinton of wrongdoing amid complaints of heavy redactions.
The long-awaited release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein has ignited fresh political fireworks in Washington, with former President Bill Clinton’s spokesperson directly challenging President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi to come clean on remaining materials.
On Monday, Angel Ureña, spokesperson for the former president, issued a pointed statement on X, demanding full disclosure of all records involving Clinton under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
The law, signed by Trump last month, requires the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release nearly all federal records tied to Epstein’s investigations and network.

“The Epstein Files Transparency Act imposes a clear legal duty on the U.S. Department of Justice to produce the full and complete record the public demands and deserves,” Ureña wrote.
“However, what the Department of Justice has released so far, and the manner in which it did so, makes one thing clear: someone or something is being protected.
We do not know whom, what or why. But we do know this: We need no such protection.”
Ureña went further, calling on Trump to direct Bondi “to immediately release any remaining materials referring to, mentioning, or containing a photograph of Bill Clinton.”
The statement comes amid growing bipartisan frustration over the DOJ’s handling of the files.
The department began releasing batches on December 19, but critics—including some Republicans who co-sponsored the transparency law—say the disclosures are incomplete, heavily redacted, and fail to meet the act’s requirements.
What the Files Have Revealed So Far
The initial release included thousands of pages of documents, flight logs, and photographs from Epstein’s estate and federal investigations.
Many images show Clinton in social settings with Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of sex trafficking in 2021.
Some photos depict Clinton in a swimming pool or hot tub, though faces of others in the images have been redacted to protect victims’ identities.
Importantly, nothing in the released materials accuses Clinton of wrongdoing.
Clinton has long maintained that he was unaware of Epstein’s crimes and cut ties with him around 2005, before Epstein’s guilty plea in Florida.
Ureña reiterated this in earlier statements, noting that Clinton’s travel on Epstein’s plane in the 1990s and early 2000s was for Clinton Foundation work and always included Secret Service detail.
The files also feature other celebrities, including Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger, and Chris Tucker, in social contexts with Epstein.
References to President Trump are minimal, with some photos removed shortly after posting—prompting accusations of selective editing.
Political Battle Lines Deepen
The Epstein saga has become a partisan flashpoint.
Trump allies have highlighted Clinton’s appearances in the files, while Democrats and some Republicans accuse the administration of using redactions to shield certain individuals.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has threatened legal action against the DOJ for failing to comply fully with the law.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), a co-sponsor of the transparency act, called the release “incomplete” and said it doesn’t deliver what survivors deserve.
Even White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has distanced herself from some claims, telling Vanity Fair that Trump was “wrong” to suggest Clinton visited Epstein’s island multiple times.
“There is no evidence,” she said.
Trump, for his part, has called for investigations into Epstein’s ties to Democrats, including Clinton, while defending the administration’s actions.
The DOJ insists it is complying with the law and redacting only to protect victims.
Epstein’s Network and Ongoing Questions
Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges, cultivated relationships with powerful figures across politics, business, and entertainment.
His connections to both Clinton and Trump date back decades, though both men have denied knowledge of his crimes.
Flight logs and other records show Clinton flew on Epstein’s plane multiple times for humanitarian trips. Trump, who once called Epstein a “terrific guy,” later said they fell out in the early 2000s after Epstein allegedly tried to recruit an employee from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act was a rare bipartisan effort, co-sponsored by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Khanna, to force greater openness.
Yet the rollout has drawn criticism from survivors’ advocates, who say heavy redactions obscure the full picture of Epstein’s network.
What Happens Next?
As more batches are expected in the coming weeks, the debate over transparency versus victim protection is far from over.
For now, Clinton’s team is making clear they won’t stay silent amid what they see as political maneuvering.
