Spokesperson for Bill Clinton calls for full release of Epstein records
A spokesperson for Former President Bill Clinton called on the Justice Department to release all remaining records related to Jeffrey Epstein, after federal authorities published a set of heavily-redacted documents at the legal deadline set by a new transparency law.
The statement was issued Monday by Angel Ureña, a spokesman for Clinton, following the Justice Department’s initial release of Epstein-related materials required under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The deadline for releasing all unclassified records expired Friday.
“The Epstein Files Transparency Act imposes a clear legal duty on the U.S. Department of Justice to produce the full and complete record the public demands and deserves,” Ureña said.
“However, what the Department of Justice has released so far, and the manner in which it did so, makes one thing clear: someone or something is being protected. We do not know whom, what or why. But we do know this: We need no such protection,” he said.
Ureña said Clinton’s team is calling on President Trump to direct Attorney General Pamela Bondi to immediately release any remaining materials that reference, mention, or include photographs of Clinton.
The statement said the request includes all records subject to disclosure under the law, including grand jury transcripts, interview notes, photographs, and findings by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
“Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the Department of Justice’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation — using selective releases to imply wrongdoing about individuals who have already been repeatedly cleared by the very same Department of Justice, over many years, under Presidents and Attorneys General of both parties,” Ureña said.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act was signed into law by President Trump on November 19. The legislation was advanced through Congress after a bipartisan group of lawmakers used a discharge petition to force a vote following weeks of resistance from the White House and the Justice Department.
The House of Representatives passed the bill on November 18 by a 427–1 vote, and the Senate approved it by unanimous consent.
The Justice Department began releasing documents late on that deadline, but the materials were heavily redacted and did not include all records covered by the law, according to Clinton’s team.
