Former President Bill Clinton has responded to the latest release of files associated with notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein with a stern statement accusing the White House of using him as a scapegoat.
Clinton, who maintained a relationship with Epstein for years and who features prominently in the trove of images released by the Department of Justice on Friday, issued a statement via his press secretary that read, “The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton.”
“This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they’ll try and hide forever. So they can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be.”
The statement continued, “Even Susie Wiles said Donald Trump was wrong about Bill Clinton,” referring to Wiles’ assertion that Trump’s repeated claim that the Epstein files incriminate Clinton was incorrect.
