In a stunning escalation of the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein files saga, former President Bill Clinton has directly accused the Trump administration of shielding powerful figures through a partial and selective release of documents, declaring that “someone or something is being protected – AND IT’S NOT ME!”
The explosive statement, issued Monday by Clinton’s spokesperson Angel Ureña, demands that President Donald Trump immediately order Attorney General Pam Bondi to release **ALL** remaining Epstein-related materials tied to the former president. This includes grand jury transcripts from the Southern District of New York (SDNY) probe, FBI interview notes, unsealed depositions, and every photograph or reference mentioning Clinton.
“We call on President Trump to direct Attorney General Bondi to immediately release any remaining materials referring to, mentioning, or containing a photograph of Bill Clinton,” Ureña wrote on X. “The Epstein Files Transparency Act imposes a clear legal duty on the U.S. Department of Justice to produce the full and complete record the public demands and deserves. However, 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. We do not know whom, what or why. But we do know this: We need no such protection.”
Clinton’s spokesman warns chillingly that the DOJ’s staggered approach – dumping thousands of pages late on a Friday, heavy with decades-old photos of Clinton but light on new revelations – risks insinuating wrongdoing against individuals “who have already been repeatedly cleared by the very same Department of Justice, over many years.” Ureña suggested the partial rollout is designed to scapegoat Clinton while delaying potentially damaging material for others.
The demand comes amid bipartisan fury over the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed by Trump last month after intense congressional pressure. The law mandated full disclosure of unclassified records by December 19, but the initial batch – released Friday – was heavily redacted, incomplete, and featured prominent photos of Clinton relaxing in pools, hot tubs, and on Epstein’s jet, often alongside redacted figures or celebrities like Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger. Notably absent: significant mentions of Trump, despite earlier reports that his name appeared multiple times in internal reviews.
Sources close to Mar-a-Lago tell us Trump read Clinton’s statement late Sunday night, face flushing red as he slammed the table in front of aides. “Release it ALL immediately – or let the world think WE’RE hiding something?!” Trump reportedly yelled, according to two insiders familiar with the scene. The President, frustrated by accusations of foot-dragging from his own base, demanded Bondi accelerate the process, fearing the drip-feed fuels conspiracy theories that his administration is protecting elites – including potentially himself.
Trump has long distanced himself from Epstein, claiming a fallout years before the financier’s 2008 conviction, but photos and logs show continued social overlap. Earlier this year, Bondi briefed Trump that his name surfaced in files, though no wrongdoing was alleged. The White House has seized on Clinton’s prominence in the release, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt posting a hot tub photo captioned “Oh my!” – prompting backlash for politicizing victim-related materials.
As DOJ gears up to unlock the vault in coming weeks – Deputy AG Todd Blanche promised phased releases to protect victims – speculation mounts over withheld bombshells. Lawmakers like Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA), the act’s bipartisan sponsors, blasted the initial drop as a “blatant cover-up,” threatening contempt charges against Bondi. Victims’ advocates, including 19 survivors of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, accused the DOJ of violating the law by redacting survivor identities and withholding thousands of images.
But as the vault creaks open, one horrifying detail blacked out for decades is about to surface… Sources whisper of sealed SDNY grand jury testimony hinting at deeper elite involvement, potentially including unreleased flight logs, financial trails, or witness accounts that could rewrite everything we thought we knew about the Epstein “list.” No formal client list has emerged – the DOJ confirmed none exists earlier this year – but unredacted transcripts may reveal coerced testimonies or suppressed probes from the 2000s.
Clinton, who flew on Epstein’s jet multiple times but denies knowledge of crimes or visits to Little St. James Island, has maintained innocence. His aggressive push for full disclosure flips the script, positioning him as a transparency advocate while putting Trump on defense. “This isn’t about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be,” Ureña insisted, echoing earlier defenses.
The fallout has reignited national debate: Is the partial release genuine victim protection, or elite shielding? MAGA influencers demand unredacted dumps, while Democrats decry politicization. With more files imminent, the Epstein scandal – dormant for years – threatens to dominate headlines into 2026.
As Clinton’s camp warns of “insinuation over truth,” and Trump aides scramble, one thing is clear: the full story remains locked away. For now.
