Clinton Team Demands Full Epstein Files, Alleges Trump-Era "Protection"

A spokesman for former President Bill Clinton has demanded the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) release all remaining documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. The demand follows the DOJ's latest release of records, which were heavily edited. The Clinton team accuses the prior administration of interfering. In a statement, they argued the Trump-era DOJ provided "protection" to people named in the files by heavily censoring them. They claim this partial disclosure violates the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), a transparency law. The newly released pages are from a 2006 investigation into Epstein. Many names and details are blacked out. The DOJ states the redactions are standard, protecting privacy and ongoing investigative methods. Clinton's spokesman emphasized the need for full transparency. He stated the public deserves the complete truth about the "Epstein cover-up." The DOJ has not yet publicly responded to this specific demand. The documents are part of a series of releases following a FOIA lawsuit. Epstein was a convicted sex offender who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on new charges.
