And so, once again, we are dragged back into the Jeffrey Epstein saga—the scandal that refuses to die. More than six years after his death, the disgraced pedophile continues to dominate headlines, not because of new facts, but because of the lingering suspicion that powerful, well-connected figures were entangled in his crimes.
The fixation persists for a simple reason: in today’s political climate, allegations—proven or not—are weapons. If opponents can tie a public figure to Epstein, even indirectly, the damage can be swift and permanent. That reality, more than any genuine pursuit of justice, is what keeps this story alive.
On Friday, attention snapped back to Washington after the deadline Congress set for the Department of Justice to release Epstein-related files arrived. The DOJ complied, and as our own Ward Clark reported, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said investigators had identified more than 1,200 victims and their families. That revelation alone should have stopped the country cold.
Instead, the headlines quickly shifted to the photo dump—salacious images featuring celebrities and politicians, including multiple photographs of former President Bill Clinton. The images reportedly show Clinton with unidentified women at dinners, in a pool, and in a jacuzzi. The material spread rapidly online, and it was not long before “Slick Willy” felt compelled to respond.
Clinton issued a terse statement Friday, denying any wrongdoing and, in a move now familiar to anyone who has watched this saga unfold, deflecting blame toward — wait for it — President Trump:
‘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.
‘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.’
You married guys out there, ask yourself this question: What would your wife think if photos of you doing the things Clinton is doing in the presence of a known partaker of young and underage girls suddenly popped up? Would she be ‘understanding’ and just ‘blow them off’ as ‘someone’s just out to get you,’ or would you be consulting a divorce attorney?

Bill Clinton in Jeffrey Epstein’s pool.
Looking forward to the media obsessively talking about how @BillClinton was nearly naked in a pool with Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell.
But, we all know they won’t show these photos on TV or even mention them.
They just want to “Get Trump”. pic.twitter.com/F0Qk28UrKn

Now, back to our story and Clinton’s lame excuse and non-explanation. That statement is laughably easy to tear apart for two obvious reasons. First, the Biden White House—a Democrat administration—sat on these files for four years and did absolutely nothing to release them. Not transparency, not urgency, not even a token effort.
Second, the timing wasn’t some noble act of conscience. The Justice Department dumped the files on Friday because it had no choice. Congress set a December 19 deadline, mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was signed into law by President Trump on November 19. Compliance wasn’t optional—it was forced.
Isn’t this exactly the stunt Democrats have been pulling for years—waving around decades-old photos of Epstein and Trump standing in the same room and triumphantly shouting, “Got him!”? The difference, of course, is the details they’d rather ignore. There are no photos of Trump lounging in pools with unidentified women. There’s no record of him flying aboard Epstein’s private jet—the infamous “Lolita Express”—dozens of times.
By contrast, those questions linger elsewhere. Why was Epstein’s longtime accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, present at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in 2010? Why do the photographs, flight logs, and social connections seem to point in one direction far more than another?
No one is claiming definitive proof of wrongdoing. But when it comes to the relationship between Clinton and Epstein, there is an awful lot of smoke—and the public is well within its rights to wonder where the fire might be.
On one narrow point, Bill Clinton is right: appearing in a photograph with someone who later turns out to be a criminal does not, by itself, make you a criminal. That standard should apply to everyone.
But if Clinton truly believes that, he and his wife Hillary have an easy way to put much of this speculation to rest. They could simply appear before the House Oversight Committee and answer questions from its chairman, Rep. James Comer. Instead, they have spent years managing to avoid exactly that.
If there is nothing to hide, then showing up, raising a right hand, and telling the truth should not be a problem. The refusal to do so only fuels the suspicion they claim to resent—and keeps this controversy alive.
