Bill Clinton spokesperson says White House is using him as scapegoat after Epstein files release
The Guardian ^ | Sat 20 Dec 2025 16.24 EST | Edward Helmore

Summary

Bill Clinton's spokesperson, Angel Ureña, accused the White House of using Clinton as a scapegoat following the congressional release of government files on Friday, which included photos of Clinton with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, a redacted young woman in a pool, and at a dinner with figures like Mick Jagger.

In a statement on X, Ureña claimed the White House delayed the release to shield itself from future revelations, not to protect Clinton, and noted that White House chief of staff Susie Wiles had stated Donald Trump was wrong about Clinton visiting Epstein's island.

Clinton maintains he ended ties with Epstein in 2005, before Epstein's guilty plea to solicitation of a minor in Florida. The statement divided people into two groups: those who cut off Epstein before his crimes were public (including Clinton) and those who continued relationships afterward.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and communications director Steven Cheung posted the pool photo on X with captions like "Oh my!" and "Slick Willy!"

Records show Epstein visited the White House 17 times during Clinton's presidency, and Clinton traveled with Epstein post-2001 for Clinton Global Initiative trips to Asia and Africa. Clinton has not been accused of wrongdoing.

Trump has repeatedly suggested ties between Clinton and Epstein, calling for investigations. Bill and Hillary Clinton are scheduled for depositions on their Epstein connections on January 13 and 14, delayed from last week, with potential contempt proceedings if not attended.

Bill Clinton: Ignore the photos of me with teenage girls and another pedophile name Epstein. I’m the victim here!

If there was anything on Trump and Epstein deep state goons would have leaked it to their friends in the press YEARS AGO. That’s why they’re pushing rumors and innunedo now... they’ve got nothing.

Which is one more reason to release ALL the stuff on Epstein and anyone else.

The public will figure out the difference between people seen with Epstein at a large New York party and people who flew to orgy island with the perv...

Sorry but no matter how hard I look, I just can’t see Bill Clinton’s halo.

Classic Clinton. The statement doesn’t really say anything, and Clinton didn’t actually say it.

It’s just used to bury the true headline.

He pleaded guilty to soliciting A MINOR. Years later he was charged with sex trafficking OF MINORS.
