Bill Clinton's spokesperson calls for release of all Epstein files related to former president "We need no such protection," Angel Urena, a spokesperson, said on Monday. Former President Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein appear in this image released by the Department of Justice in Washington, December 19, 2025.U.S. Justice Department Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released additional photos from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, including ones of Donald Trump and Bill Clinton.House Oversight Committee Democrats After the Department of Justice released thousands of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in a tranche on Friday that included a number of decades-old photographs of former President Bill Clinton, a spokesperson for Clinton on Monday called on all of the files relating to Clinton to be released. In a statement, Clinton spokesperson Angel UreƱa accused the DOJ of using the selective release of Epstein documents to imply wrongdoing where there is none, challenging the department to immediately release any remaining materials mentioning or showing Bill Clinton in the files.

On Friday, UreƱa had written in a statement , "The White House hasn't been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton.

The Department of Justice has defended both its process and timing in releasing the files, saying in a statement on Sunday that more than 200 lawyers were working "around the clock" to review files for release.
