Clinton spokesperson calls for DOJ to release all documents related to former president and Epstein

A spokesperson for former President Bill Clinton called on the Justice Department Monday to release all documents related to their boss and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, claiming it has targeted Clinton and implied wrongdoing. The Justice Department publicly released the first round of Epstein files last week, which included multiple previously unreleased photographs of the former president with women whose identities were concealed by redacting their faces. 
Angel Ureña, the deputy chief of staff to Clinton, said the files were insinuating wrongdoing, despite the former president not being accused of any crimes, and urged the DOJ to release all documents, claiming Clinton did not need protection. 
“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,” Ureña said in a statement on X. “We do not know whom, what or why. But we do know this: We need no such protection.
“Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion that 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 already been repeatedly cleared by the very same Department of Justice, over many years, under Presidents and Attorneys General of both parties,” he added.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act required the release of investigative records, grand jury testimony and other materials, by Dec. 19. But only approximately 300,000 documents have been released so far. 
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that more documents will be released in the next few weeks.
“And so, of course, that’s the case. But, let me just make sure everybody understands something, to the extent that he is, quote, ‘in the Epstein files,’ it’s not because he had anything to do with the horrific crimes, full stop. But yes, if President Trump is mentioned, if there’s photographs that we have of President Trump or anybody else, they, of course, will be released, with the exception of any victims or survivors that we’ve identified,” Blanche added.
