Bill Clinton’s spokesperson called for any balance jeffrey epstein files organized by Department of Justice On the release of the former President.
Angel Urena, representing the 42nd President, said in a statement Monday: “What the Justice Department has released so far, and the manner in which it has done so, makes one thing clear: Someone or something is being protected. We don’t know who, what or why. But we do know this: We don’t need such protection.”
Urena met the President donald trump To order the Attorney General palm bondi “Immediately release any remaining materials containing any reference, mention or image of Bill Clinton.”
He added: “Refusing to do so would confirm widespread suspicions that the Justice Department’s actions so far are not about transparency, but about obfuscation — using selective releases to incriminate wrongdoers about individuals who have already been acquitted repeatedly by the same Justice Department over many years, under presidents and attorneys general of both parties.”
The two-term Democrat, like Trump, was once friends with Epstein, the disgraced financier and sex trafficker who took his own life in a New York City jail cell in August 2019. Like Trump, the 79-year-old has not been accused of any wrongdoing in connection with the billionaire’s crimes.

“I think it’s terrible,” the president said when asked about photos of his White House frontrunner, adding: “I like Bill Clinton… and I hate looking at photos of him.
“I’ve always been good to Bill Clinton. I’ve been good to him, he’s been good to me. I hate to look at pictures of him, but that’s what the Democrats, most Democrats and some bad Republicans, are asking for.
“So they’re giving out pictures of me too. Everyone was friendly with this guy [Epstein]Either friendly or not friendly.
“He was all over Palm Beach and other places…and Bill Clinton was his friend, but everybody was his friend.
“Bill Clinton is a big guy. He can handle it, but you probably have photos of other people exposed who innocently met Jeffrey Epstein Years ago.”
