NEWS: Bill Clinton is demanding full transparency from the Trump DOJ on the Epstein files. Clinton’s spokesman says the DOJ’s selective release suggests someone is being protected. He calls on Trump to direct Bondi to immediately release all remaining materials referencing Clinton.
STATEMENT BY ANGEL UREÑA
SPOKESMAN FOR FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON
The Epstein Files Transparency Act imposes a clear legal duty on the U.S.
Department of Justice to produce the full and complete record the public demands and deserves.
However, 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. 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 Bondi to immediately release any remaining materials referring to, mentioning, or containing a photograph of Bill Clinton.
This includes, without limitation, any records that may exist and are subject to disclosure under the Act (Public Law 119-38 enacted Nov. 19, 2025), including grand jury transcripts, interview notes, photographs, and findings by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York (as referenced under oath to Congress by President Trump's first-term Attorney General).
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 already been repeatedly cleared by the very same Department of Justice, over many years, under Presidents and Attorneys General of both parties.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
