In a bold and unexpected counterattack that’s gripped political watchers, former President Bill Clinton’s team has demanded the immediate, total disclosure of every Epstein file—framing the recent image-heavy releases as blatant partisan armor designed to shield figures still lurking in the shadows of influence.
Following the Justice Department’s December dump of thousands of documents packed with decades-old photos of Clinton alongside Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell—while notably sparse on others—spokesperson Angel Ureña accused the Trump administration of selective manipulation. “Someone or something is being protected—we need no such protection,” Ureña declared, insisting Clinton has nothing to hide and urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to unleash all remaining records without redaction or delay.
The high-stakes gambit intensifies scrutiny on the process: Is this true transparency, or a calculated deflection—and whose hidden ties are the real target of this guarded rollout?
In a bold and unexpected counterattack that has gripped political watchers, former President Bill Clinton’s team has demanded the immediate and total disclosure of every remaining Epstein file—framing the recent image-heavy releases as blatant partisan armor designed to shield figures still lurking in the shadows of influence.
Just days after the Justice Department (DOJ) dumped thousands of documents in December 2025, packed primarily with decades-old photos of Clinton alongside Jeffrey Epstein—the sex trafficker who died in prison in 2019—and Ghislaine Maxwell (currently serving a 20-year sentence), spokesperson Angel Ureña accused the Trump administration of selective manipulation. “Someone or something is being protected—we need no such protection,” Ureña declared, emphasizing that Clinton has nothing to hide and urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to unleash all remaining records without redaction or delay.
The initial release on December 19, 2025, featured numerous images of Clinton relaxing poolside, soaking in a jacuzzi, or socializing with Epstein and Maxwell, while references to other figures—including President Donald Trump—were heavily redacted or nearly absent. Trump administration officials quickly amplified the Clinton images on social media, while downplaying Trump’s own past social ties to Epstein in New York and Palm Beach during the 1990s.
Clinton has long maintained that he met Epstein only a few times for charitable purposes, always accompanied by Secret Service agents, and severed contact in 2005 once Epstein’s crimes came to light. He has never been accused of wrongdoing. In contrast, Ureña implied that this selective release aims to divert public attention from later documents mentioning Trump, such as 1990s flight logs.
The controversy arises from the Epstein Files Transparency Act, passed nearly unanimously by Congress and signed by President Trump on November 19, 2025, requiring the DOJ to release all non-classified records by December 19, 2025. However, as of early January 2026, the DOJ has admitted to releasing less than 1%—about 125,000 pages out of over 2 million documents—citing the need for redactions to protect victim identities. Co-authors of the bill, such as Rep. Thomas Massie (Republican) and Rep. Ro Khanna (Democrat), have criticized the delays and even threatened contempt proceedings against Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Epstein’s victims and their lawyers also demand full disclosure, arguing that piecemeal releases cause further trauma and conceal the network’s full scope. The DOJ has promised continued releases in the coming weeks, but partisan tensions are escalating.
This confrontation exposes deep fractures in Washington over power and transparency. The lingering shadows of Epstein’s influence network continue to haunt America’s elite, driving public calls for genuine accountability from the nation’s most powerful figures.
