Bill Clinton spox calls on DOJ to release Epstein files referencing the former president

The former president’s spokesperson accused the DOJ of weaponizing the documents against him.

A spokesperson for Bill Clinton on Monday called on the Department of Justice to release any documents related to the former president in its ongoing release of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The rare statement from Clinton spokesperson Angel Ureña comes as the Trump administration has attempted to make him the GOP’s new boogeyman in a monthslong saga related to the files that has plagued the White House, sparking sharp rebukes from allies and MAGA firebrands.

“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,” Ureña said in the statement. “We do not know whom, what or why. But we do know this: We need no such protection.”

The Justice Department released its first batch of a vast trove of files Friday but stopped short of publishing all of the federal government’s documents related to various investigations into the disgraced financier, as mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by President Donald Trump last month.
