A recently unveiled collection of files from the Department of Justice has brought to light a photograph of former President Bill Clinton relaxing shirtless in a dimly lit hot tub, his hands resting behind his head. This intriguing image is part of a significant release of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein.

Within the same collection, another notable photograph captures Clinton standing in a pool alongside Ghislaine Maxwell and another woman, whose identity remains concealed due to redaction by the authorities.

Further images in the cache feature Clinton alongside legendary American musicians Michael Jackson and Diana Ross. Additionally, he is seen on an airplane, seated beside a woman adorned with an American flag pin, whose face has also been redacted.

Another snapshot reveals Clinton, dressed in a festive shirt, smiling arm-in-arm with the late and controversial financier Jeffrey Epstein at what appears to be a dinner gathering.

The locations where the photos were taken were not included, and no context was provided.

White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson took to social media Friday afternoon to comment on the never-before-seen photos of the former POTUS.

“Here is Bill Clinton in a hot tub next to someone whose identity has been redacted. Per the Epstein Files Transparency Act, DOJ was specifically instructed only to redact the faces of victims and/or minors,” Jackson wrote. “Time for the media to start asking real questions.”

Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, Angel Ureña, accused the White House of trying to “hide [things] forever,” in a statement on X, implying President Donald Trump continued a relationship with Epstein after his crimes were revealed.

“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,” Ureña wrote in the post. “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. Even Susie Wiles said Donald Trump was wrong about Bill Clinton.

“There are two types of people here,” he continued. “The first group knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light. The second group continued relationships with him after. We’re in the first. No amount of stalling by people in the second group will change that. Everyone, especially MAGA, expects answers, not scapegoats.”

The DOJ dumped thousands of documents and hundreds of photos on its website Friday, all supposedly obtained by authorities during investigations into Epstein and Maxwell’s sex trafficking cases. 

Other photos showed interior and exterior views of Epstein’s properties, personal photos of Epstein with various people and heavily redacted potential victim exhibits.

While more than a dozen politically known individuals appeared in the files, Clinton and other notable figures’ inclusion in the files does not necessarily imply wrongdoing.

The document drop was triggered by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which required the DOJ to make the files public 30 days from its Nov. 19 signing by President Donald Trump.

Some files may be withheld by the DOJ if disclosure would jeopardize an ongoing investigation or prosecution, to safeguard victims’ privacy or to avoid publishing sensitive child sexual abuse material.
