Epstein files include photos of Bill Clinton in hot tub with redacted person

A photo of former President Bill Clinton topless in a dimly lit hot tub with his arms crossed behind his head has been included in a huge photo collection. Jeffrey Epstein records released Friday by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

In another photo, Clinton is seen splashing in a pool next to Ghislaine Maxwell and a woman whose face has been redacted by authorities.

Later photos showed Clinton posing with American pop stars Michael Jackson and Diana Ross and sitting on a plane next to a woman wearing an American flag pin whose face had been redacted.

He was also seen smiling arm in arm with the late disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Epstein at what appeared to be a dinner party, wearing a party shirt.

The locations where the photos were taken were not included and no context was provided.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson took to social media Friday afternoon to comment on the former POTUS’ never-before-seen photos.

“Here is Bill Clinton in a hot tub next to someone whose identity has been redacted. Pursuant to the Epstein File Transparency Act, the DOJ was specifically directed to only redact the faces of victims and/or minors,” Jackson wrote. “It’s time the media started asking real questions.”

DOJ FILES REQUEST TO UNSEAL EPSTEIN DOCUMENTS IN LAST STEP TOWARDS RELEASE

Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, Angel Ureña, accused the White House of trying to ‘cover up’ [things] forever,” in a statement on X, implying that President Donald Trump continued his relationship with Epstein after his crimes came to light.

“The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months just to throw them away late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton. This is to protect itself from what comes next, or what it will try to hide forever,” Ureña wrote in his message. “So they can post as many grainy photos from 20+ years ago as they want, but it’s not about Bill Clinton. It never was and never will be. Even Susie Wiles said Donald Trump was wrong about Bill Clinton.

“There are two types of people here,” he continued. “The first group knew nothing and interrupted Epstein before his crimes came to light. The second group continued their dealings with him afterward. We are in the first. No amount of blocking attempts by members of the second group will change that. Everyone, especially MAGA, wants answers, not scapegoats.”

The DOJ released thousands of documents and hundreds of photos on its website Friday, all allegedly obtained by authorities during investigations into the Epstein and Maxwell sex trafficking cases.

Other photos showed interior and exterior views of Epstein’s properties, personal photos of Epstein with various people, and heavily redacted exhibits about potential victims.

Although more than a dozen politically known people were included in the records, the inclusion of Clinton and other notable figures in the records does not necessarily imply wrongdoing.

The deletion of the documents was triggered by the Epstein Transparency of Files Act, which required the DOJ to make the files public 30 days after it was signed on November 19 by President Donald Trump.

Certain records may be withheld by the DOJ if their disclosure would compromise an ongoing investigation or prosecution, to protect the privacy of victims, or to avoid publishing sensitive material about child sexual abuse.
