New Photos Of Bill Clinton Accompany Release of Epstein Files

Newly released Justice Department documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation have reignited scrutiny of former President Bill Clinton, after images surfaced showing him relaxing in a hot tub with a woman believed to be a trafficking victim.

The documents were made public Friday after a federal judge in New York ordered the disclosure of materials related to the 2019 prosecutions of Epstein and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The release follows President Donald J. Trump’s signing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act last month, a law mandating the public disclosure of all records connected to the federal investigation into Epstein.

The materials are now available on the DOJ’s website under a newly created section labeled the “Epstein Library.”

Among the most striking revelations are previously unseen photographs of Bill Clinton in a hot tub with an unidentified woman whose face has been redacted. The redaction suggests the woman may be a victim of sex trafficking and possibly a minor. Other images show Clinton aboard a private plane with a woman seated beside him with her arm around him, her face similarly obscured, as well as photos of Clinton swimming with Maxwell and another unidentified individual.

The documents provide no details about when or where the photos were taken, and little contextual information accompanies the images.

Clinton’s spokesperson responded by attacking the Trump administration rather than addressing the substance of the photographs.

“The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton. This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they’ll try and hide forever,” the spokesperson claimed.

“So they can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be. Even Susie Wiles said Donald Trump was wrong about Bill Clinton,” the spokesperson added.

According to the Associated Press, Clinton appears in several of the thousands of documents released. One image shows him on a private jet with a woman whose face is redacted, seated closely beside him. Another depicts him in a pool with Maxwell, Epstein’s former confidant now serving a lengthy prison sentence for sex trafficking-related crimes.

Clinton, now 79, has long been dogged by personal scandals, most notably his 1998 impeachment. His documented association with Epstein and Maxwell in the late 1990s and early 2000s has remained a persistent source of controversy. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has said the current release represents only a fraction of what totals “several hundred thousand” Epstein-related documents still under review.

The images complicate ongoing Democratic efforts to keep political attention focused on President Trump, while also undermining attempts by the current administration to move past the Epstein scandal without full public accountability.

Following the release, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and senior adviser Steven Cheung shared the images on social media. President Trump declined to comment as he departed the White House late Friday en route to a speech in North Carolina.

Neither Clinton nor Trump has been charged with wrongdoing related to Epstein. However, critics note that while Democrats have repeatedly attempted to cast Trump’s past association with Epstein as evidence of misconduct, they have not applied the same standard to Clinton.

Earlier this year, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee issued subpoenas to both Bill and Hillary Clinton. The committee received a response indicating the Clintons preferred to submit written statements regarding what they described as their “limited information” about Epstein.

Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the committee’s chairman, has rejected that approach and continues to demand in-person testimony. Comer has warned that failure to comply could result in contempt of Congress proceedings.

As more Epstein-related records are released under President Trump’s transparency mandate, the political and legal fallout surrounding the powerful figures connected to Epstein appears far from over.
