WASHINGTON – Former President Bill Clinton’s spokesperson called for the Justice Department to release all of its documents about the investigation of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, to avoid insinuating wrongdoing against people "who have been repeatedly cleared.".

Pictures of Clinton, including one in a hot tub and others with celebrities, were among documents the Justice Department released Friday, Dec. 19, under a new law.

But the department was criticized for withholding hundreds of thousands of pages of additional documents by women who accused Epstein of abuse, by lawmakers and by Clinton's deputy chief of staff Angel Urena.

Clinton needs no protection from releasing all remaining documents that mention or contain a photograph of him, Urena said in a social media post on Monday, Dec. 22.

But in releasing hundreds of thousands of documents, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche acknowledged Friday, Dec. 19, that hundreds of thousands more documents were still being reviewed.

The law directs the department to list the documents withheld from public release and explain the reasons within 15 days.

Two House members threatened to seek to hold Attorney General Pam Bondi in contempt for the partial release of documents. »

But a flurry of online activities shows the group is still active stateside and considers the US an operational nerve center.

At the same time, its recruitment has continued to funnel through a Russian email address and has not ceased since the 2020 FBI crackdown against it.

In the US homeland, however, with “access to firearms” and “rugged wilderness terrain”, Nazzaro and the Base believe the same opportunity exists. »
