Donald Trump’s Department of Justice on Friday released more than 300,000 pages of photos and evidence connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The vast trove includes images showing the disgraced financier and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell socializing with high-profile figures, including former president Bill Clinton and Michael Jackson.
One photograph appears to show Clinton in a swimming pool alongside Maxwell and several unidentified, partially clothed women.
Clinton broke his silence on Friday to turn the tables on Trump, releasing a statement that declared: ‘The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton. This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they’ll try and hide forever.’
Britain’s disgraced former royal, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, also appears in the material, along with his former wife, Sarah Ferguson. References to Trump are limited in the documents, and he has never been accused of wrongdoing in connection with the case.
The Department of Justice acknowledged that not all of the documents have yet been released, and said additional material is expected to be unsealed before the end of the year.
The DOJ did not provide any context for the images of people included in the files. Being named or pictured in the files is not necessarily an indication of wrongdoing with Epstein.
