President Trump voiced strong opposition to the Department of Justice’s release of photos showing Bill Clinton with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. While the images surfaced following the Epstein Files Transparency Act, Trump called the disclosures a “terrible thing.” He stated, “No, I don’t like the pictures of Bill Clinton being shown. I think it’s a terrible thing.”
Trump warned that these public releases could unfairly tarnish the reputations of those who met Epstein “innocently” years ago. Despite his administration overseeing the dump of 100,000 pages, Trump noted the public backlash. He remarked, “I don’t like the pictures of other people being shown… you probably have pictures being exposed of other people that innocently met Jeffrey Epstein.”
Clinton’s representatives responded by suggesting the selective release implies “someone or something is being protected,” noting that many documents remain sealed. Meanwhile, lawmakers are considering impeaching Attorney General Pam Bondi for missing deadlines. Trump maintained his stance on the risks of association, stating, “you can ruin the reputation of somebody” by disclosing files showing an association.
