On edit: Watching the video now (which I should have done before I posted) I can see that the headline is very misleading. Kaine did not throw Clinton under the bus, in my opinion. My bad.

Clinton did "address" the issue.

“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. So they can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be.”

"There are two types of people here. 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."

Clinton’s spokesperson Angel Ureña

Tim Kaine should STFU.

Not a fan of Tim Kaine -- this only cements that for me. He didn't by any way focus his comments on Cllinton, but KPN Dec 21 #8
