A photograph of former President Bill Clinton shirtless in a dimly lit jacuzzi, with his hands clasped behind his head, is included in a massive set of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein released today by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
In another photo, Clinton can be seen wading in a swimming pool next to Ghislaine Maxwell and a woman whose face has been redacted (concealed) by authorities.
Subsequent photographs show Clinton posing with American pop stars Michael Jackson and Diana Ross, as well as sitting on an airplane next to a woman wearing a brooch with the U.S. flag, whose face has also been concealed.
He is also seen smiling arm in arm with the late, disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Epstein at what appears to be a dinner, wearing a formal shirt.
The locations where the photographs were taken were not disclosed, nor was any context provided. White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson commented on the previously unseen photographs of the former U.S. president on social media Friday afternoon.
“Here is Bill Clinton in a jacuzzi next to someone whose identity has been concealed. Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the Department of Justice was explicitly instructed to redact only the faces of victims and/or minors,” Jackson wrote.
“It’s time for the media to start asking the right questions.”
Clinton’s former deputy chief of staff, Angel Ureña, accused the White House of attempting to “bury things forever” in a statement on the platform X, implying that President Donald Trump continued a relationship with Epstein even after his crimes became known.
“The White House didn’t sit on these files for months just to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton. This is about protecting themselves from what comes next — or from what they’re trying to hide forever,” Ureña wrote.
“They can release as many grainy photos from more than 20 years ago as they want, but this is not about Bill Clinton. It never was and it never will be. Even Susie Wiles said Donald Trump was wrong about Bill Clinton.”
“There are two types of people here,” he continued.
“The first group knew nothing and cut off contact with Epstein before his crimes became public. The second group continued relationships with him afterward. We are in the first group. No amount of delay tactics by the second group will change that. Everyone — especially MAGA supporters — expects answers, not scapegoats.”
The Department of Justice on Friday published thousands of documents and hundreds of photographs on its website, which authorities allegedly obtained during investigations into human trafficking in the Epstein and Maxwell cases.
Other photographs show the interiors and exteriors of Epstein’s properties, personal images of Epstein with various individuals, and heavily redacted evidence related to potential victims.
Although more than a dozen politically prominent individuals appear in the files, the inclusion of Clinton and other notable figures in the documents does not necessarily imply guilt or wrongdoing.
The release of the documents was prompted by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which required the Department of Justice to publish the files within 30 days of the law being signed by President Donald Trump on November 19.
The Department of Justice may withhold certain files if their disclosure would jeopardize an ongoing investigation or prosecution, protect the privacy of victims, or prevent the release of sensitive material involving the sexual abuse of children.
