Following the release of numerous previously unseen Epstein-related photos, Bill Clinton issues a response

Bill Clinton has responded after the Department of Justice released a large batch of previously unseen photos connected to Jeffrey Epstein. The images, made public Friday under a congressional order, quickly reignited controversy and online debate.

Several photos show Clinton alongside Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, including images taken at social events and near a pool where one woman’s identity is blurred. Their release sparked renewed partisan arguments across social media.

A spokesperson for the former president accused the White House of using Clinton as a distraction. In a statement posted online, the spokesperson claimed the administration released old, unclear photos to divert attention from other issues, insisting the controversy is not truly about Clinton.

The photos were part of a broader document dump under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which compelled the DOJ to release nearly 600,000 pages of redacted material. These include photos, videos, police records, and early victim accounts related to Epstein.

White House officials intensified attention by sharing some of the images online with sarcastic captions. Despite the viral reaction, officials stressed that appearing in the files does not imply criminal behavior.

Clinton’s spokesperson emphasized that Clinton cut off contact with Epstein years before his crimes became widely known. He also denied claims that Clinton ever visited Epstein’s private island.

The newly released files also contain disturbing material unrelated to Clinton and reference many public figures. While Clinton has never been accused of abuse, he and Hillary Clinton are scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee in January about their past connections to Epstein.
