Hillary Clinton Issues Strong Statement After New Attention on Epstein Files
Hillary Clinton has publicly urged the full release of documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein, criticizing delays in the disclosure of records related to the late financier’s network. Speaking to the BBC while attending an international forum in Berlin, Clinton said the public deserves complete transparency. Her comments come as new Epstein-related materials continue to emerge, renewing scrutiny around the powerful individuals who once crossed paths with him.
Clinton argued that the release of the records has been moving too slowly and suggested political motivations could be influencing the process. “Get the files out,” she said during the interview. She claimed that attention on the Clinton family is sometimes used as a distraction from broader questions surrounding the case. According to her, the focus should remain on transparency rather than political point-scoring.
The former secretary of state reiterated that she never met Epstein and had no involvement in his activities. She emphasized that neither she nor former President Bill Clinton has been accused of wrongdoing by survivors connected to Epstein’s crimes. Clinton stated that her position has always been clear: all relevant records should be released so the public can see the facts for themselves.
The U.S. Department of Justice has recently released large volumes of documents related to Epstein investigations. These include flight logs, contact lists, deposition transcripts, and internal communications gathered during multiple legal proceedings. Legal experts have repeatedly noted that appearing in such documents does not automatically imply misconduct, as Epstein maintained a wide network of contacts across politics, business, and entertainment.
Public records do show that Bill Clinton had contact with Epstein in the late 1990s and early 2000s. After leaving the presidency, Clinton took several foundation-related trips aboard Epstein’s private aircraft. Representatives for the former president have said he was unaware of Epstein’s criminal behavior at the time and ended the association years before Epstein’s later arrest.
Clinton has also acknowledged briefly encountering Ghislaine Maxwell in social settings in the past. Maxwell was later convicted in 2022 for helping Epstein recruit and exploit underage girls. Hillary Clinton has maintained that these encounters were limited and did not reflect a close relationship, stressing that she had no knowledge of Maxwell’s role in the crimes that later came to light.
As congressional oversight continues, both Hillary and Bill Clinton have agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee reviewing aspects of the Epstein case. Clinton has said she supports public hearings so the process remains transparent. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has denied any involvement with Epstein and dismissed Clinton’s accusations as politically motivated. The broader debate continues to revolve around transparency, accountability, and whether the full truth behind Epstein’s powerful connections will eventually come to light.
