Former President Bill Clinton’s spokesperson responded sharply Friday after the Justice Department released new documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, including previously unseen photographs of Clinton with unidentified women. The materials were disclosed following a federal judge’s order and are now available on the DOJ website under the “Epstein Library.” The release follows President Donald Trump’s signing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandates public access to records tied to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking cases. Among the images is a redacted photo showing Clinton relaxing in a hot tub with a woman whose identity is concealed.
In a statement, Clinton’s spokesperson accused the Trump administration of politicizing the release, arguing it was timed to deflect attention from other matters. The spokesperson dismissed the photos as old and lacking context, insisting the issue “isn’t about Bill Clinton” and denying any wrongdoing. Several other images in the document dump show Clinton on a private plane with a redacted woman, in a swimming pool with Maxwell, and in a hot tub with another unidentified individual. The documents do not specify dates, locations, or circumstances.
Clinton, 79, has never been charged in connection with Epstein, though his past association has drawn scrutiny. Republicans have subpoenaed both Bill and Hillary Clinton to testify before the House Oversight Committee, pushing for in-person appearances rather than written statements. The photos have reignited political debate, complicating efforts by both parties to move past the Epstein issue.
