Bill Clinton demands full disclosure of remaining Epstein documents, accusing the Trump administration of selective releases that protect hidden interests.
In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing Epstein files controversy, former President Bill Clinton, through his spokesperson Angel Ureña, issued a pointed demand in late December 2025 for the immediate and complete release of all remaining Jeffrey Epstein-related documents held by the Department of Justice. The statement accused the Trump administration of orchestrating selective disclosures designed to shield certain powerful figures while spotlighting others—particularly Clinton himself.
The controversy erupted following the DOJ’s partial release on December 19, 2025, mandated by the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by President Trump. That initial tranche featured thousands of pages and photographs, many depicting Clinton socializing with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, including undated images of him in a hot tub and aboard private jets. Notably absent or minimally referenced was Trump, despite his documented past friendship with Epstein, including flights on the financier’s plane in the 1990s.
Ureña’s statement charged that the administration’s approach—”releasing grainy 20-plus-year-old photos” focused on Clinton—suggested an intent to insinuate wrongdoing where none existed, while withholding materials that might implicate others. “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 declared, urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to disclose everything, including any references to Clinton, to clear the air fully.
Clinton has consistently denied knowledge of Epstein’s crimes or any involvement in them, emphasizing he cut ties years before Epstein’s 2008 conviction. The demand for full transparency aligns with calls from survivors’ advocates and bipartisan lawmakers, including the Act’s cosponsors Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, who criticized the DOJ for releasing less than 1% of held files by early 2026.
As the new year begins, with millions of pages reportedly still under review, Clinton’s accusation amplifies public frustration. Critics argue the staggered releases fuel suspicion of political manipulation, eroding trust in the process. Survivors, echoing Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl, insist complete disclosure is essential for justice. Whether Bondi accelerates releases amid mounting pressure remains uncertain, but Clinton’s bold stand has reignited debate: in pursuing accountability for Epstein’s network, no one—not even former presidents—should be above scrutiny.
