WASHINGTON — Former President Bill Clinton on Monday accused the Trump administration of perpetrating a cover-up over the Epstein files by refusing “to produce the full and complete record the public demands and deserves.
“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,” Clinton said through rep Angel Ureña in a statement, referring to the documents related to late pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein that the feds made public last week.
“We do not know whom, what or why. But we do know this: We need no such protection.
“Accordingly, we call on President Trump to direct Attorney General [Pam] Bondi to immediately release any remaining materials referring to, mentioning, or containing a photograph of Bill Clinton,” the statement said, referencing all “grand jury transcripts, interview notes, photographs, and court findings.
“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 been repeatedly cleared by the very same Department of Justice, over many years, under Presidents and Attorneys General of both parties.”
Photos of a half-naked Clinton lounging with an unidentified woman in a jacuzzi and swimming alongside the female and convicted Epstein madam Ghislaine Maxwell emerged Friday among the trove of files the DOJ released.
“This is his reckoning,” a former Clinton aide told The Post after the disclosures.
Here’s the latest on the release of the Epstein files
“People are like, ‘I can’t believe he was in a hot tub. Who’s the woman in there?’ She’s at, you know, body level. I mean, it’s, like, unbelievable. It’s just shocking.”
The 44th president was also snapped wrapping his arm around an unidentified female on a plane — and pictured palling around with Epstein during travels to the UK, Brunei and Thailand.
In another previously unseen photograph, Clinton, Epstein and members of their inner circle attended a dinner with Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger.
The Post first revealed a further trip in which Clinton invited Epstein and Maxwell as his plus ones to Moroccan King Mohammed VI’s wedding in 2002 — memorialized in one photo that was part of the DOJ’s release too.
Clinton has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing involving Epstein’s twisted antics.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) has issued subpoenas to Bill and Hillary Clinton for depositions Jan. 13 and 14, respectively, to testify about their relationships with Epstein.
If the former first couple refuse to appear, Comer has threatened contempt of Congress proceedings.
Trump was meanwhile barely a mention in the released files — and at least one photo of him seen in one of Epstein’s furniture drawers was reportedly removed from the DOJ’s website.
But other images show the later-disgraced financier posing with a woman beside check that the future president allegedly signed in 1997 for the amount of $22,500.
The released pictures and other records were published to comply with The Epstein Files Transparency Act, which a bipartisan coalition in Congress backed and Trump signed into law Nov. 19.
Reps for the DOJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
