When Bill Clinton’s name surfaced prominently in the extensive 300,000-page Epstein document, a representative for the former president pointed fingers at Donald Trump, suggesting he was being used as a ‘scapegoat.’

The Department of Justice unveiled this comprehensive document on Friday, which included photographs and evidence tied to the conviction of the notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The released information and images lacked specific dates, context, or background details. According to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, only the identities of victims or minors were to be withheld.

Clinton was among the few whose faces were not obscured, appearing in at least a dozen photographs.

One particularly striking image showed Clinton partially naked in a pool alongside Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell and several redacted women in revealing attire.

Angel Urena, Clinton’s chief of staff, issued a statement addressing the former president’s connection with Epstein.

Urena claimed that by releasing the files, the White House is ‘shielding themselves’

‘The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton,’ he said in the statement posted to X.

‘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.’ 

Clinton was also pictured in ‘grainy’ photos posing next to Michael Jackson, Diana Ross and a redacted woman on what appeared to be a private jet. 

He even appeared as a portrait. In the painting, Clinton is pointing forward while lounging in a blue dress and red high heels. 

In another shocking photo, he is seen smiling in silk shirts with Epstein himself. 

The files showed Clinton posed in Winston Churchill’s War Rooms with Kevin Spacey and chatting at dinner next to Mick Jagger. 

Despite his frequent cameos in the pages and pages of documents, Urena said Clinton stopped associating with Epstein as soon as his shady behavior came out.

‘There are two types of people here,’ the statement continued.

‘The first 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.’ 

The loaded statement seemed to accuse the current president of continuing a relationship with Epstein even after the financier’s disgrace.

‘Everyone, especially MAGA, expects answers, not scapegoats,’ Urena concluded. 

Trump previously claimed that Clinton visited Epstein’s private island ‘supposedly 28 times.’ 

Clinton has denied accusations of his frequent visits to Little St. James, per Axios. 

The president’s chief of staff Susie Wiles clarified in a recent interview with Vanity Fair that ‘there is no evidence’ those visits ever occurred. 

Trump also said on social media that Bill and Hillary Clinton ‘spent large portions of their life with Epstein,’ per the New York Times.

House Democrats released a series of emails in November which outlined the sitting president’s relationship with Epstein.  

According to BBC, the two fell out of friendship in the early 2000s before his initial arrest in 2006. But Trump’s name appeared in emails between Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in 2011.

‘I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump.. [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him,’ one email read. 

Other emails Epstein sent himself alleged that Trump had met his victims, one in particular that worked at Mar-a-Lago.

‘Trump knew of it. and came to my house many times during that period,’ he wrote.

Trump, however, barely appeared in the lengthy document that the DOJ released December 19. 

He can be seen in a picture or two featured on Epstein’s desk and among his personal scrapbooks. But his presence is nowhere near as prominent as Clinton’s.

As Trump has vehemently denied a long term friendship with Epstein, he ordered an investigation into Clinton and other Democrats who were associated with him.
