A spokesperson for Bill Clinton accused the White House late on Friday of using him as a scapegoat after pictures of the former president with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as with a young woman in a pool, were included as part of congressionally ordered release of government files.
“The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton,” the spokesperson said in a statement on X.
So they can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton.
Clinton has long maintained that he cut ties with Epstein around 2005, before the disgraced financier plead guilty to solicitation of a minor in Florida.
The picture of Clinton in a swimming pool was later posted on X by the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, with the caption “Oh my!”
Little did he know… ,” Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, posted to X. Epstein visited the White House at least 17 times during the early years of Clinton’s presidency, according to White House visitor records cited in news reports.
The justice department photo dump comes as both Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state and presidential candidate, are scheduled to give depositions to the House oversight committee over their ties to Epstein. »
