Bill Clinton's Team Fires Back at Epstein Scandal: 'We Cut Ties Before Crimes Unfolded'

The Department of Justice's release of newly unveiled photos from the Epstein files has sparked a heated response from Bill Clinton's team. The images, which show the former president on a private plane and in a pool with Ghislaine Maxwell, have raised fresh questions about his association with the late financier. Clinton's spokesperson, Angel Ureña, has vehemently defended the former president, stating that the White House's decision to release the photos on a Friday evening is a clear attempt to deflect attention from their own actions. According to Ureña, there are two distinct categories of individuals involved in the Epstein scandal: those who severed ties with the financier before his crimes came to light, and those who continued to associate with him despite knowledge of his wrongdoing. Clinton's team firmly believes they fall into the first group. Ureña referenced comments made by White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, who claimed that there is no evidence to suggest Clinton visited one of Epstein's private islands as many as 28 times. This contradicts previous claims made by the former president's team, who asserted that Clinton had no knowledge of Epstein's crimes. The recent revelation has sparked calls for accountability, with many demanding answers from those who continued to associate with Epstein despite his illicit activities. Clinton's team remains steadfast in their assertion that they cut ties with the financier long before his crimes were revealed, and will continue to defend the former president against any allegations.
