Angel Ureña said ex-president, pictured in some photos released by justice department, cut ties with Epstein in 2005

A spokesperson for Bill Clinton accused the White House late on Friday of using him as a scapegoat after pictures of the former president with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as with a young woman in a pool, were included as part of congressionally ordered release of government files.

“The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton,” the spokesperson said in a statement on X.

“This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they’ll try and hide forever. So they can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be,” the statement added.

    I mean, we should give a flying fuck about Trump trying to distract people.

    Sure, throw Clinton on the chopping block too, but don’t get distracted from the orange kid rapist himself. It’s more important to get the child molester who has actual power than the one who’s been retired for a decade. Obviously, get both, but the order of priority is important.

        From the presidency, sure, but he’s been somewhat active up until Hillary got her ass handed to her in 16.
