Former U.S. President Bill Clinton, through his representatives, has called on President Donald Trump and the Department of Justice to release the full, unredacted set of records connected to convicted s*x offender Jeffrey Epstein, arguing that the current disclosure process appears designed to protect unidentified individuals while fueling public suspicion.
The demand came after the Justice Department released a large tranche of Epstein-related documents over the weekend, reportedly totaling around 300,000 pages.
While the release met a court-ordered deadline, critics quickly noted that many of the records were heavily redacted, with some pages almost entirely blacked out. Clinton’s team says those omissions undermine transparency and raise serious questions about who may be benefiting from the lack of full disclosure.
Clinton spokesperson Angel Ureña issued a sharp statement accusing both the White House and the DOJ of selectively releasing material in a way that invites speculation rather than clarity.
He suggested the manner of disclosure implicitly casts suspicion on Clinton by resurfacing photographs and references linking him to Epstein and Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, despite the fact that Clinton has never been charged with or accused of any crime related to Epstein.
“What has been released so far, and how it was released, makes one thing obvious: someone is being protected,” Ureña said. “We do not know who or why, but it is clear that partial transparency only creates misinformation.” He added that Clinton “requires no protection” and has long supported the release of all relevant records.
The newly published documents reference numerous high-profile figures, including Clinton, Britain’s Prince Andrew, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Chris Tucker, and Kevin Spacey. Legal experts have emphasized that appearing in Epstein’s contact lists, flight logs, or photographs does not imply criminal conduct. Many of the individuals named have either denied wrongdoing or have never been accused by prosecutors.
Ureña specifically urged President Trump to direct Attorney General Pam Bondi to immediately release all remaining federal records that mention, reference, or include images of Clinton, without redactions. According to the spokesperson, doing so would eliminate any lingering doubts about Clinton’s role and shift attention toward genuine accountability.
The controversy is also tied to the recently passed Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law last month, which requires the Justice Department to disclose the full scope of federal records related to Epstein and multiple investigations tied to his network. Clinton’s representatives argue that the DOJ has failed to meet both the spirit and the letter of that law by withholding or censoring large portions of the material.
Ureña warned that continued delays or selective disclosures would only deepen public mistrust and reinforce suspicions that authorities are attempting to insinuate misconduct by individuals who have already been reviewed and cleared across administrations of both political parties.
The renewed scrutiny has also extended to Trump himself, whose name appears in some Epstein-related court filings from past cases, though he has denied any wrongdoing and has not been charged. With public pressure mounting, Clinton’s team insists that only a complete and unredacted release of all Epstein files can put an end to speculation, counter misinformation, and restore confidence in the justice system.
