Clinton Accuses Trump of Using Him as a Scapegoat After DOJ Publishes Hundreds of Thousands of Pages Connected to Jeffrey Epstein in Washington

The recent release of hundreds of thousands of pages tied to Jeffrey Epstein has reignited debate over the powerful figures who appeared in the documents.

The Department of Justice dropped the massive file on Friday, offering photos and evidence connected to Epstein’s conviction—but without dates, context, or background details.

One name that immediately caught attention was former President Bill Clinton.

His inclusion in the documents quickly drew comparisons with former President Donald Trump, who Clinton’s team accused of trying to turn him into a “scapegoat.”

Clinton’s Presence in the Files

Clinton appeared in at least a dozen photographs, making him one of the few figures left unredacted in the released files.

One particularly striking image shows Clinton partially nude in a pool alongside Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell and multiple redacted women.

Clinton’s chief of staff, Angel Urena, pushed back against the narrative that the release was meant to target Clinton.

According to Urena, the move was more about protecting certain parties than exposing wrongdoing by the former president.

“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,” Urena said in a statement on X.

Other Notable Appearances

The documents also contained images of Clinton alongside high-profile figures like Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Kevin Spacey, and Mick Jagger.

In one unusual instance, he appeared in a painted portrait, lounging in a blue dress and red heels while pointing forward.

Another image shows him smiling in silk shirts with Epstein himself.

Despite his frequent appearances, Urena emphasized that Clinton cut ties with Epstein as soon as Epstein’s illicit behavior became public.

“There are two types of people here,” Urena said.

“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.”

Accusations Against Trump

Urena’s statement seemed to indirectly criticize Trump for maintaining associations with Epstein even after the financier’s criminal behavior surfaced.

Trump has previously claimed Clinton visited Epstein’s private island dozens of times—a claim Clinton denies.

Axios reported that there’s no evidence supporting these alleged visits.

Trump also claimed on social media that Bill and Hillary Clinton “spent large portions of their life with Epstein.”

Meanwhile, House Democrats released emails showing Trump’s connections to Epstein as early as 2011.

Some emails suggested Trump had met Epstein’s victims, including one who worked at Mar-a-Lago.

Yet, in the newly released DOJ files, Trump’s presence is minimal—far less prominent than Clinton’s.

What Comes Next?

As the public digests the massive release, questions remain about the motivations behind dropping the files and the implications for powerful figures connected to Epstein.

While Clinton’s appearances have sparked headlines, the documents also show a broader web of associations—and the debate over accountability is far from over.
