After a series of photos released on Friday (US local time) from Epstein’s files prominently featured former US President Bill Clinton with little reference to Donald Trump, a spokesperson from the Clinton camp spoke out, saying the White House was now trying to “protect” itself and the investigation was “not about Bill Clinton”.
Angel Urena, a Clinton spokesman, said in a statement: “The White House did not hide these files for months only to release them late Friday night to protect Bill Clinton.”
“It’s about protecting themselves from what comes next, or what they’re going to try and hide forever. So they can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this is not about Bill Clinton. It never, ever will be. Even Susie Wiles said Donald Trump was wrong about Bill Clinton,” he added.
“There are two types of people here. The first group knew nothing and cut off Epstein before his crimes came to light. The second group continued to have relationships with him after. We are in the first. No amount of hanging around with people from the second group will change that,” Urena also said.
