House Republican Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) rejected requests from former President Bill Clinton and first lady Hillary Clinton on Monday. The two Democrats face contempt of Congress votes over their refusal to appear for depositions over an investigation into convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The House is set to vote as early as Wednesday to hold the Clintons in contempt of Congress after the former president and first lady did not show up for their scheduled depositions in January. The Clintons&#8217; lawyers, however, are still hoping to work out a deal with Comer and sent the Republican a letter Saturday saying the former president would be willing to sit for a four-hour transcribed interview instead of a deposition under oath. The lawyers also said Hillary Clinton would submit a sworn declaration rather than appear in person for a deposition.
Comer <a href="https://x.com/GOPoversight/status/2018378201039282202/photo/3">called</a> the offers &#8220;unreasonable,&#8221; adding, &#8220;It has been nearly six months since your clients first received the Committee&#8217;s subpoena, more than three months since the original date of their depositions, and nearly three weeks since they failed to appear for their depositions commensurate with the Committee&#8217;s lawful subpoenas.&#8221;
&#8220;Your clients&#8217; desire for special treatment is both frustrating and an affront to the American people&#8217;s desire for transparency,&#8221; Comer wrote in a reply to the Clintons&#8217; attorneys.
Comer said that the Clintons&#8217; requests for the transcribed interview would mean that Bill Clinton could &#8220;refuse to answer whatever questions he wanted for whatever reasons he wanted.&#8221; The House Oversight chairman added that the four-hour time limit requested would give Bill Clinton an &#8220;incentive to attempt to run out the clock by giving unnecessarily long answers and meandering off-topic.&#8221;
&#8220;This is a particular concern where a witness, such as President Clinton, has an established record of being a loquacious individual,&#8221; Comer added.
Regarding the request for Hillary Clinton, Comer told the attorneys that the Oversight Committee &#8220;has made clear on numerous occasions the necessity of her in-person testimony and unacceptability of simple sworn declarations.&#8221;
A majority of the House must vote in favor of a contempt resolution for it to pass. If found in contempt of Congress, the Clintons face large fines and potentially jail time.
Bill and Hillary Clinton were subpoenaed to appear before the House Oversight Committee last year as the committee conducted its investigation into Epstein. The Clintons&#8217; deposition dates were initially scheduled for October and then moved to December, and finally moved to January, but the former president and his wife were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-seek-to-hold-bill-clinton-in-contempt-after-he-refuses-to-testify-on-epstein?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Republicans+Seek+To+Hold+Bill+Clinton+In+Contempt+After+He+Refuses+To+Testify+On+Epstein">no-shows</a>.
After the Clintons skipped their depositions, nine Democrats <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/clintons-in-the-hot-seat-as-oversight-committee-recommends-contempt-charges-over-epstein-scandal?author=Cameron+Arcand&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Clintons+In+The+Hot+Seat+As+Oversight+Committee+Recommends+Contempt+Charges+Over+Epstein+Scandal">joined</a> with all Republicans on the House Oversight Committee to hold Bill Clinton in contempt, and three Democrats voted with Republicans to hold Hillary Clinton in contempt.
The Clintons were friends of Epstein&#8217;s in the early 2000s, with Bill Clinton often flying with Epstein on the sex predator&#8217;s infamous private plane. Neither the former president nor the first lady has been accused of any wrongdoing related to Epstein&#8217;s crimes. After receiving their subpoenas, the Clintons argued that they &#8220;already provided the limited information they possess about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to the Committee.&#8221;
Bill Clinton has appeared multiple times in the Epstein files, as the Justice Department continues to release batches of documents and photos to the public. Some of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-clinton-responds-to-shocking-photos-in-epstein-file-dump">images</a> released by the Justice Department from Epstein&#8217;s estate show Bill Clinton enjoying a hot tub with a woman whose face was redacted and swimming in a pool with Epstein&#8217;s associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in the sex trafficking scheme. Bill Clinton was also pictured getting a shoulder massage from one of Epstein&#8217;s accusers, Chauntae Davies. Davies has not accused the former president of any wrongdoing.
Bill Clinton’s chief of staff, Angel Ureña, said in December that the former president &#8220;knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light.&#8221;

The House Oversight Committee voted on Monday to hold former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with subpoenas — and eight Democrats voted against the measure.
The eight Democrats who voted against — meaning they voted to allow the Clintons to ignore the subpoenas without penalty — were Reps. Wesley Bell (D-MO), Shontel Brown (D-OH), Robert Garcia (D-CA), Ro Khanna (D-CA), Kweisi Mfume (D-MD), Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA), and James Walkinshaw (D-VA).
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley laid out his thoughts on the situation, naming the Democrats who voted against efforts to hold the Clintons to account.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The Clintons were issued subpoenas after some of the most recent photos and documents released pursuant to the Epstein Files Transparency Act shed a rather unflattering light on former President Clinton&#8217;s associations with the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
As some noted, Rep. Ro Khanna has been particularly insistent on getting to the bottom of everything and getting a full release of the Epstein documents — a fact that caused several eyebrows to raise when he was also among the Democrats suggesting it was fine for the Clintons to disregard congressional subpoenas on the matter.
The Clintons <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-seek-to-hold-bill-clinton-in-contempt-after-he-refuses-to-testify-on-epstein">responded</a> to the subpoenas with a lengthy letter explaining why they should not have to comply with requests to submit to the legal process.
The Clintons said in the letter that they believed the subpoenas to be “invalid” and had already given Congress all the information they had.
“There is no plausible explanation for what you are doing other than partisan politics,” the letter said.
Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) made it clear that he was not impressed, saying, “They have had five months to comply with this … We expect to hear from Bill Clinton, he is not above the law.”

The House Oversight Committee voted to recommend holding Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress for not complying with subpoenas related to the Jeffrey Epstein probe.
The committee&#8217;s recommendation now goes to the full House for a vote, where the Republican majority seems inclined to vote yes. It is then up to the Trump Justice Department to decide if it will pursue a grand jury indictment against the Clintons, according to CBS News. The committee subpoenaed both Clintons after several photos of the former president surfaced in the Epstein files already released.
In a January 13 letter to Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, the Clintons said they have reason to believe the subpoenas are “legally invalid” and that they “tried to give [Comer] the little information [they] have.”
“We’ve done so because Mr. Epstein’s crimes were horrific,” the statement read, adding that “There is no plausible explanation for what you are doing other than partisan politics.”
Congress passed the &#8220;Epstein Files Transparency Act&#8221; in November by nearly unanimous margins in both chambers, and it was then signed into law by President Donald Trump. Democrats have argued that the pace of the files&#8217; release has been too slow.
In a lengthy markup hearing on Wednesday, there was a debate about the specifics of “acceptable terms,” as Comer phrased it, including whether or not there should be a recorded transcript of the Clintons&#8217; depositions.
“They have had five months to comply with this,” Comer said, noting the negotiations with the Clintons&#8217; attorneys.
&#8220;We expect to hear from Bill Clinton, he is not above the law,&#8221; he later said.
Prior to the hearing, Comer wrote on social media that “the Clintons’ lawyers made an untenable offer: that I travel to New York for a conversation with President Clinton only. No official transcript would be recorded and other Members of Congress would be barred from participating. I have rejected the Clintons’ ridiculous offer.”
“The Clintons’ latest demands make clear they believe their last name entitles them to special treatment,” the Kentucky congressman added.
Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), ranking member of the committee, argued that the “Clintons have not objected to a transcript.”
“Let’s talk to President Clinton, and let’s get a transcript of it, let’s have the committee there and the staff there and move forward,” the California Democrat added.
“They did object to a transcript Mr. Garcia, they did object to a transcript, they’re just now changing because they see that public opinion is not on their side,” Comer responded.
Democrats on the committee said that the decision to hold the possibility of holding the Clintons in contempt is political targeting, arguing that the same standard was not honored for other subpoenas issued.
“Attorney General Pam Bondi has violated the subpoena issued by this committee; we should be holding her in contempt to remain fair and to remain transparent, and so I ask that you do that if you want to be fair and care about justice for the victims here,” Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ) said during the hearing.
Comer responded, saying that ‘They have turned documents over,” and noted multiple times in the hearing that Bondi is expected to testify before the House Judiciary Committee next month, where she could be asked about the Epstein files process.
Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) proposed an amendment to hold Bondi in civil contempt, saying she&#8217;s not against the effort to hold the Clintons &#8220;accountable&#8221; but argued that the contempt effort was being &#8220;fast-tracked.&#8221; Rep. Dave Min (D-CA) suggested civil enforcement of the subpoena instead, which Comer pushed back on, citing insight from legal counsel.
&#8220;If this committee wants to be taken seriously, we would be addressing all the bad actors in this investigation, not cherry-picking them for political points. The Justice Department needs to be held accountable for their non-compliance and their lack of transparency,&#8221; Lee said.
The amendments proposed by the Democrats ultimately failed to pass. Nine Democrats voted with Republicans to hold Bill Clinton in contempt. Three voted to hold Hillary Clinton in contempt.
The Clintons did not respond to a request for comment.

Clintons In The Hot Seat As Oversight Committee Recommends Contempt Charges Over Epstein Scandal

House Oversight Committee

Late Tuesday night, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem pledged that authorities would soon arrest those who stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement&#8217;s presence in the Twin Cities.
“There will be arrests tied to that, and people will be brought to justice for how they violated the law in that situation,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kristi-noem-promises-arrests-in-the-next-several-hours-over-church-stormed-by-anti-ice-activists?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Kristi+Noem+Promises+Arrests+%E2%80%98In+The+Next+Several+Hours%E2%80%99+Over+Church+Stormed+By+Anti-ICE+Activists">Noem said</a>.
To do so, the Trump administration could use a law long weaponized against pro-life protesters to prosecute those who disrupted the church service, including former CNN anchor Don Lemon.
The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, signed by President Bill Clinton in 1994, made it a federal crime for pro-life protesters to block the entrances of abortion facilities. Though the law was also meant to protect crisis pregnancy centers and churches, data obtained by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) <a href="https://roy.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-roy-reintroduces-legislation-repeal-face-act">shows</a> that 97% of FACE Act prosecutions through 2024 targeted pro-life individuals. 
While conservatives have long warned that the law has been weaponized against pro-lifers, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/anti-ice-activists-storm-minnesota-church-with-don-lemon-doj-launches-probe?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Anti-ICE+Activists+Storm+Minnesota+Church+With+Don+Lemon%3B+DOJ+Launches+Probe">stunt</a> by leftist agitators at the Cities Church in St. Paul creates an opportunity for President Donald Trump’s Justice Department to flip the historical application of FACE on its head. 
The FACE Act penalizes those who “by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction, intentionally injures, intimidates or interferes with or attempts to injure, intimidate or interfere with any person lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship.”
That would appear to apply to the storming of Cities Church by a group of activists organized by the Racial Justice Network and Black Lives Matter Twin Cities. The protesters yelled and chanted slogans at worshipers, causing the service to end early. Lemon filmed the demonstration under the guise of an independent journalist and badgered the pastor of the church with questions while the disruption was taking place. 
Ryan Tucker, the director of the Center for Christian Ministries at Alliance Defending Freedom, told The Daily Wire that the religious component of the FACE Act has rarely been used. He noted that historically, local and state law enforcement have stepped in to address FACE Act violations, but no such help appears to be forthcoming in Minnesota. 
“Here in Minnesota, at least the state attorney general has come out and said that he&#8217;s not going to do anything to assist or to pursue any violations of state law,” Tucker said. “What&#8217;s really disheartening here is that you&#8217;ve got the lead lawyer of the state of Minnesota, Keith Ellison, saying that he&#8217;s not going to do anything to prosecute these individuals under those local laws, and in fact, has attempted to validate their actions, completely forgetting that the FACE Act even exists.”
Tucker added that it was very rare for activists to disrupt church services.
“The idea that one could go into a church, disrupt it, threaten the parishioners, and somehow get away with it, which is just absolutely unheard of,” he said. “Churches certainly have the right to worship freely without fear that protesters are going to invade their space and traumatize the families that are present, but that&#8217;s exactly what happened this past weekend.”
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/don-lemon-could-face-criminal-conspiracy-charges-over-involvement-in-minnesota-church-protest?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Don+Lemon+Could+Face+‘Criminal+Conspiracy’+Charges+Over+Involvement+In+Minnesota+Church+Protest">suggested</a> on Monday that the Justice Department would bring FACE Act-related charges against the protesters. 
“I see various crimes that have occurred,” she told podcaster Benny Johnson. “Exactly what they are I’m not going to flag, but the FACE Act has been mentioned as one of the predicates there. In other cases, the Biden DOJ used the Klan Act conspiracy charges tacked onto the FACE Act in the case of protests outside abortion clinics to bring much longer sentences.”
Dhillon was referring to how President Joe Biden’s Justice Department ramped up FACE Act prosecutions, pairing it with the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act to garner lengthy prison sentences for peaceful pro-life advocates who demonstrated at abortion facilities. 
Biden’s Justice Department successfully prosecuted these cases across the country — from Michigan to Tennessee and Washington, D.C. — and got lengthy prison sentences for multiple defendants. 
 Lauren Handy <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pro-life-activist-sentenced-to-over-four-years-in-prison-over-protest-at-d-c-abortion-facility">was sentenced</a> to 57 months in prison for her role in an October 20 sit-in at the notorious D.C.-based Washington Surgi-Clinic late-term abortion facility.
In another case, 64-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pardoned-pro-life-activist-says-hes-running-on-adrenaline-and-the-holy-ghost-after-trump-pardon">Calvin Zastrow</a> and 75-year-old Chet Gallagher were sentenced to prison after they participated in a protest at an abortion facility in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, that involved them praying, singing, and speaking to women arriving at the facility. They were convicted under the FACE Act and the KKK Act for conspiracy against rights, a charge that could come with over 10 years of prison time. 
Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/they-should-not-have-been-prosecuted-trump-pardons-23-pro-lifers-targeted-by-biden-doj?author=Mary+Margaret+Olohan+and+Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=%E2%80%98They+Should+Not+Have+Been+Prosecuted%E2%80%99%3A+Trump+Pardons+23+Pro-Lifers+Targeted+By+Biden+DOJ">pardoned</a> the two dozen peaceful pro-life protesters during his first week in office. 
Dhillon suggested that Lemon might be subject to the KKK Act conspiracy against rights application if it could be proved that he had knowledge of the protest before it took place. 
“Don Lemon himself has come out and said he knew exactly what was going to happen inside that facility,&#8221; she said. &#8220;He went into the facility, and then he began ‘committing journalism,’ as if that’s sort of a shield from being a part, an embedded part of a criminal conspiracy, it isn’t.&#8221;
As Lemon questioned a pastor during the disruption on Sunday, he asserted that the activists had a First Amendment right to stage a protest in the church. Tucker was unconvinced with this claim, noting that you can’t make a First Amendment claim while infringing on “someone&#8217;s ability to freely worship.”
Trump on Tuesday <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-minnesota-church-protesters-should-be-jailed-or-thrown-out-of-the-country?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Trump%3A+Minnesota+Church+Protesters+Should+Be+Jailed+Or+%E2%80%98Thrown+Out+Of+The+Country%E2%80%99">called</a> for the agitators who stormed the church to be imprisoned or “thrown out of the country.” His Justice Department appears to be ready to take that action. 
“The FACE Act is just the start. Like I said, you have material support for disruptive activities, you have conspiracy to violate civil rights, you have potentially the use of other instrumentalities to commit crimes,” Dhillon said on Monday. 
The Trump administration has already used the FACE Act to go after left-wing activists who target religious services. In September, the Justice Department <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-files-lawsuit-under-face-act-against-violent-protestors-synagogue-west">filed charges</a> under FACE against a group of protesters who targeted a Jewish synagogue in New Jersey.
Soon after taking office, Trump’s Justice Department <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-doj-rolls-back-bidens-aggressive-prosecution-of-pro-lifers?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+DOJ+Rolls+Back+Biden%E2%80%99s+Aggressive+Prosecution+Of+Pro-Lifers">issued a memo</a> stipulating that FACE Act cases would only be prosecuted in cases of violence or extreme property damage, a reversal of Biden’s policy.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Mayhem In Minneapolis As Agitators Target ICE</h2>
An ICE agent shot &#8220;an illegal alien from Venezuela&#8221; in the leg on Wednesday night after being &#8220;ambushed by three individuals,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/DHSgov/status/2011632198000976086">according</a> to an X post by DHS. The agent was attacked with a snow shovel and a broom handle. The ICE officer and the suspect who was shot were hospitalized, and the other two attackers are in custody, DHS said. Tensions on the streets remain high in Minneapolis, but ICE is still moving forward with its mission. Daily Wire immigration reporter Jenny Taer joined Morning Wire on the ground in Minneapolis, describing the chaotic environment in which federal immigration officers are attempting to do their jobs. “There were absolutely moments where I felt like things were just going to go haywire,” Taer said. Agitators constantly impede and threaten officers. Arrests of agitators have become a daily occurrence in Minneapolis, despite efforts by federal agents to de-escalate and allow agitators to step away. Taer said that the situation in Minneapolis is “very intense,” and the attempt to hamper ICE is a “very organized, well-communicated operation.”
<h2 style="text-align: center;">ICE Officer Sustains Internal Bleeding After Renee Good Shooting</h2>
New information has come to light on the condition of the ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good. According to the Department of Homeland Security, Good’s vehicle <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-officer-who-shot-renee-good-internal-injuries-sources-say/">struck</a> the ICE agent hard enough to cause internal bleeding. The agent and his family have since gone into hiding because of the threats they face. Regarding the Good investigation, at least half a dozen prosecutors have resigned from the Minneapolis U.S. Attorney&#8217;s office over the handling of the Good shooting death investigation, reportedly stemming from objections to Justice Department priorities and the refusal to open a civil rights inquiry.
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Clintons Duck Congress’s Epstein Questions</h2>
The Clintons are refusing to comply with a subpoena in the House Oversight Committee’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The Clintons’ attorneys issued a lengthy statement on Tuesday saying the couple would not appear before Congress to answer questions. The letter argued that the former president and first lady had “already provided the limited information they possess about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to the Committee,” and that the committee’s subpoenas “are invalid and legally unenforceable.” Oversight Committee chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-seek-to-hold-bill-clinton-in-contempt-after-he-refuses-to-testify-on-epstein">said</a> in return, the committee would vote next week to “hold former President Clinton in contempt of Congress.”

Former President Bill Clinton refused to testify before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday after he and former first lady Hillary Clinton were subpoenaed to appear for a closed-door hearing on their relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
House Oversight Republicans, led by Kentucky Rep. James Comer, said they will seek to hold the former president in contempt of Congress next week.
&#8220;As a result of Bill Clinton not showing up for his lawful subpoena, which again was voted unanimously by the committee in a bipartisan manner, we will move next week in the House Oversight Committee markup to hold former President Clinton in contempt of Congress,&#8221; Comer said.
&#8220;I think everyone knows by now Bill Clinton did not show up,&#8221; Comer added. &#8220;No one&#8217;s accusing Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing. We just have questions. And that&#8217;s why the Democrats voted, along with Republicans, to subpoena Bill Clinton.&#8221;
Hillary Clinton is scheduled to testify on Wednesday, but it also appears that she will not comply with the subpoena, according to a letter the Clintons sent to Comer.
“Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and its people, no matter the consequences,” the Clintons wrote in the letter, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/01/13/us/politics/clinton-legal-letter-comer.html">according</a> to The New York Times. “For us, now is that time.”
The lengthy letter, which was sent by the Clintons&#8217; attorneys, argued that the former president and first lady had &#8220;already provided the limited information they possess about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to the Committee.&#8221; They also claimed that the committee&#8217;s subpoenas &#8220;are invalid and legally unenforceable, untethered to a valid legislative purpose, unwarranted because they do not seek pertinent information, and an unprecedented infringement on the separation of powers.&#8221;
The Clintons were initially scheduled to appear before Congress in mid-December, but Comer moved their testimonies to January 13 and 14 to accommodate their funeral obligation. After receiving a subpoena to appear before the committee, the Clintons&#8217; lawyer asked if they could submit “a written proffer of what little information” they have on Epstein. Comer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/congress-just-ordered-the-clintons-to-face-epstein-depositions-heres-when-theyll-be-grilled">denied</a> that request in November and ordered the Clintons to appear for their depositions.
Epstein, whose past relationship with President Donald Trump has been scrutinized over the past year, was also friends with the Clintons. Bill Clinton traveled on Epstein&#8217;s infamous private jet with the disgraced financier and his associate Maxwell multiple times. Clinton was also photographed receiving a back massage from then-22-year-old Epstein accuser Chauntae Davies.
There is no evidence that Hillary traveled with Epstein, and neither Bill nor Hillary has been accused of any wrongdoing related to Epstein’s sex crimes. Bill Clinton&#8217;s relationship with Epstein, however, is back in the spotlight as the Department of Justice has begun releasing more files and photos from the Epstein estate. Some of the images <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-clinton-responds-to-shocking-photos-in-epstein-file-dump">show</a> Clinton swimming in a pool alongside Maxwell, and in another, he is in a hot tub with a woman whose face is redacted.
President Trump, who also used to be a friend of Epstein&#8217;s, has accused Clinton of visiting Epstein&#8217;s island, a claim that Clinton denies. But Trump <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-on-release-epstein-files-photos-clinton-others/">said</a> last month that he didn&#8217;t like the pictures of Clinton being released to the public.
&#8220;I think Bill Clinton&#8217;s a big boy, he can handle it,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;But you probably have pictures being exposed of other people that innocently met Jeffrey Epstein years ago &#8230; and they&#8217;re highly respected bankers and lawyers and others.&#8221;
In a statement <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-clinton-responds-to-shocking-photos-in-epstein-file-dump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responding</a> to the photos, Clinton&#8217;s chief of staff, Angel Ureña, said that the former president &#8220;knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light.&#8221;
“The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton,” Ureña added. “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.”

Republicans Seek To Hold Bill Clinton In Contempt After He Refuses To Testify On Epstein

The Justice Department released another 30,000 documents related to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday, including those they said contained “untrue and sensationalist&#8221; claims against President Donald Trump. 
The document drop comes after hundreds of thousands of documents were released on Friday that included photos of former President Bill Clinton with Epstein. The latest document drop included claims about Trump and Epstein submitted to the FBI before the 2020 election, the Justice Department said. 
“The Department of Justice has officially released nearly 30,000 more pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election,” the Justice Department said Tuesday. 
“To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already. Nevertheless, out of our commitment to the law and transparency, the DOJ is releasing these documents with the legally required protections for Epstein’s victims,” the department added. 
The documents can be viewed <a href="https://www.justice.gov/epstein/doj-disclosures/data-set-8-files">here</a>. The release includes a wide variety of documents, including news article clippings, emails, and court filings. One of the documents includes an <a href="https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%208/EFTA00016732.pdf">email</a> from a federal prosecutor alleging that Trump had been a passenger multiple times on Epstein’s private plane. 
“In particular, he is listed as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996, including at least four flights on which Maxwell was also present,” the email said. &#8220;On one flight in 1993, he and Epstein are the only two listed passengers; on another, the only three passengers are Epstein, Trump, and then-20-year-old [redacted]. On two other flights, two of the passengers, respectively, were women who would be possible witnesses in a Maxwell case.&#8221;
Another <a href="https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%208/EFTA00020517.pdf">document</a> included allegations leveled against Trump by a Dallas limousine driver, who claimed that Trump made &#8220;very concerning&#8221; remarks in his limo in 1995. According to the FBI document, the driver &#8220;noted Trump continuously stated the name &#8216;Jeffrey&#8217; while on the phone, and made references to abusing some girl.&#8221; The claims made by the driver were not substantiated, according to the Justice Department.

Trump has characterized questions about the Epstein case as a “hoax” perpetrated by Democrats to derail his administration. No evidence has been produced that the president ever engaged in illegal behavior during his previous encounters with Epstein, whom he banned from Mar-a-Lago. 
“Nobody cared about Jeffrey Epstein when he was alive and, if the Democrats had anything, they would have released it before our Landslide Election Victory,” Trump said in a post last month calling for Republicans to support legislation requiring the Justice Department to release the documents. 
After signing the disclosure legislation, Trump took aim at Epstein’s connections with major Democrats. 
“Perhaps the truth about these Democrats, and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein, will soon be revealed, because I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!” Trump said on Truth Social. “This latest Hoax will backfire on the Democrats just as all of the rest have!”

DOJ Drops 30,000 More Epstein Docs That Include Accusations Against Trump

Former President Bill Clinton is claiming he&#8217;s being scapegoated in the wake of the latest Epstein file dump that featured jarring new photos of Clinton with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted pedophile.
Clinton appears in a number of the images released by the Department of Justice in accordance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was signed into law by President Donald Trump last month.
Some of the photos show Clinton swimming in a pool with convicted Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell and in a hot tub with at least one unidentified female whose face has been redacted, as reported by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doj-drops-long-awaited-trove-of-epstein-files-that-includes-shocking-bill-clinton-pics?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=4&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=DOJ+Drops+Long-Awaited+Trove+Of+Epstein+Files+That+Includes+Shocking+Bill+Clinton+Pics">The Daily Wire</a>. Notably, according to the DOJ, the only faces that would be redacted would be those of minors, alleged victims, and government officials.
Clinton chief of staff Angel Ureña responded in a statement posted to X on Friday evening, saying Clinton cut ties with Epstein after his &#8220;crimes came to light&#8221; and is being scapegoated by the Trump administration.
&#8220;There are two types of people here. The first group knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light,&#8221; Ureña said. &#8220;The second group continued relationships with him after. We&#8217;re in the first. No amount of stalling by people in the second group will change that.&#8221;
&#8220;Everyone, especially MAGA, expects answers, not scapegoats,&#8221; he added.

&#8220;The White House hasn&#8217;t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton,&#8221; the statement from Ureña said. &#8220;This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they&#8217;ll try and hide forever. So they can release as many grainy, 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn&#8217;t about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be.&#8221;

Epstein visited the White House multiple times while Clinton was president, according to visitor logs. Additionally, after Clinton left office, Epstein assisted with some of the former president’s philanthropy and Clinton flew numerous times on Epstein’s private jet, the Associated Press <a href="https://www.wdtv.com/2025/12/20/photos-bill-clinton-included-newly-released-epstein-files/">reports</a>.

Clinton was impeached in 1998 for lying under oath and obstructing justice when he denied engaging in a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky, who was 22 years old when the affair started. The former president ultimately <a href="https://www.wdtv.com/2025/12/20/photos-bill-clinton-included-newly-released-epstein-files/">confessed</a> to a relationship with Lewinsky, while stressing that “even presidents have private lives.”

Bill Clinton Responds To Shocking Photos In Epstein File Dump

General

Ghislaine Maxwell

The Justice Department will need more time to release all of the remaining documents related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, missing Friday&#8217;s deadline that was stipulated in the law signed by President Donald Trump last month.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told &#8220;<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6386705034112">Fox &amp; Friends</a>&#8221; on Friday that &#8220;several hundred thousand documents&#8221; would be made public on Friday, but &#8220;several hundred thousand&#8221; more documents won&#8217;t be released until the coming weeks.
&#8220;The most important thing that the attorney general has talked about, that [FBI Director Kash] Patel has talked about, is that we protect victims, and so what we are doing is we are looking at every single piece of paper that we are going to produce, making sure that every victim, their name, their identity, their story to the extent that it needs to be protected is completely protected.&#8221;
Blanche said that the dump on Friday will include numerous forms of documents, including photos. The Justice Department has been “working tirelessly” as it sifts through &#8220;every single document&#8221; to ensure that victims are protected before the information in the documents is made public. The bill passed by Congress and signed by Trump last month allows the Trump administration to withhold information on victims, including images of child sexual abuse.
Blanche added that President Trump &#8220;has said for years, that he wants full transparency, and he wants the Department of Justice to release everything that we can in respect to this investigation.&#8221; The deputy attorney general then blasted Democrats who are now focusing on the Epstein case after there was &#8220;radio silence&#8221; on the issue during the Biden administration.

The Epstein investigation has plagued the Trump administration since the summer, when the Justice Department said that it found no evidence of an Epstein client list, and President Trump called the issue a &#8220;hoax.&#8221;
The Trump administration has also faced criticism from a few Republican lawmakers over its handling of the Epstein case. On Friday, Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie <a href="https://x.com/RepThomasMassie/status/2002028539600912595">shared</a> an image of the bill signed into law by Trump, highlighting the sentence that requires the release of the files within 30 days.
&#8220;Time’s up. Release the files,&#8221; Massie <a href="https://x.com/RepThomasMassie/status/2002051542787207310">said</a>.
The Justice Department did not say when on Friday it would release the hundreds of thousands of documents slated to become public. Neither did the Trump administration say when exactly the remaining files would be released.
So far, the Republican-led House Oversight Committee has released over 50,000 pages of documents and thousands of photos from the Epstein estate. While prominent politicians and powerful people, such as Trump and former President Bill Clinton, have been named in the files and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrats-release-batch-of-epstein-photos-featuring-trump-clinton-and-bill-gates">images</a> of them with Epstein have also been released. A photo obtained by The Daily Wire on Thursday shows Clinton and Epstein standing side-by-side.

Both Trump and Clinton were close to Epstein at one time, but neither of them has been implicated in any of Epstein&#8217;s crimes, nor have they been accused of wrongdoing by any of Epstein&#8217;s victims.

EPSTEIN UPDATE: Trump’s DOJ To Miss Friday Deadline, Says It’s Not Prepared To Release All Epstein Files

DOJ Will Miss Today's Deadline To Release All Epstein Files

The White House unveiled new plaques beneath the portraits of American presidents on its Presidential Walk of Fame on Wednesday, with some of the plaques including President Donald Trump&#8217;s jabs at former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
The Presidential Walk of Fame, which is located along the outside wall of West Wing, includes biographies for every U.S. president. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Trump, &#8220;as a student of history,&#8221; wrote some of the descriptions himself, which is evident, as much of the sentence structure and grammar is reflective of the president&#8217;s unique style usually seen in his social media posts.
Instead of a photo of Biden for the former president&#8217;s portrait, the White House displays an image of an autopen. The text beneath the image reads, &#8220;Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History. Taking office as a result of the most corrupt Election ever seen in the United States, Biden oversaw a series of unprecedented disasters that brought our Nation to the brink of destruction. His policies caused the highest Inflation ever recorded, leading the U.S. Dollar to lose more than 20% of its value in 4 years. His Green New Scam surrendered American Energy Dominance and, by abolishing the Southern Border, Biden let 21 million people from all over the World pour into the United States, including from prisons, jails, mental institutions, and insane asylums. His Afghanistan Disaster was among the most humiliating events in American History, and resulted in the murder of 13 brave American Servicemembers, with many others gravely wounded. Seeing Biden’s devastating weakness, Russia invaded Ukraine, and Hamas terrorists launched the heinous October 7th attack on Israel.&#8221;
“Nicknamed both ‘Sleepy’ and ‘Crooked,’ Joe Biden was dominated by his Radical Left handlers,&#8221; the biography continues. &#8220;They and their allies in the Fake News Media attempted to cover up his severe mental decline, and his unprecedented use of the Autopen. Following his humiliating debate loss to President Trump in the big June 2024 debate, he was forced to withdraw from his campaign for re-election in disgrace. Biden weaponized Law Enforcement against his political opponent, while also prosecuting many other innocent people. He left office issuing blanket pardons to Radical Democrat criminals and thugs, as well as members of the Biden Crime Family — But despite it all, President Trump would get Re-Elected in a Landslide, and SAVE AMERICA!”
The plaques for President Obama refer to him as &#8220;one of the most divisive political figures in American history&#8221; and blast his handling of foreign policy and Obamacare.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible c-link--underline" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
Obama&#8217;s plaques reads, “Barack Hussein Obama was the first Black President, a community organizer, one term Senator from Illinois, and one of the most divisive political figures in American History. As President, he passed the highly ineffective ‘Unaffordable’ Care Act, resulting in his party losing control of both Houses of Congress, and the Election of the largest House Republican majority since 1946. He presided over a stagnant Economy, approved the terrible Iran Nuclear Deal, and signed the one-sided Paris Climate Accords, both of which were later terminated by President Donald J. Trump.”
“Under Obama, the ISIS Caliphate spread across the Middle East, Libya collapsed into chaos, and Russia invaded and took Crimea, in Ukraine. He crippled small businesses with crushing regulation and environmental red tape, devastated American coal miners, and weaponized the IRS and Federal bureaucracies against his political opponents. Obama also spied on the 2016 Presidential Campaign of Donald J. Trump and presided over the creation of the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, the worst political scandal in American History. His handpicked successor, Hillary Rodham Clinton, would then lose the Presidency to Donald J. Trump.”
Trump&#8217;s plaque for President George W. Bush was far more friendly, but it still took a shot at Bush over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
&#8220;The son of former President George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush was the Governor of Texas when he won the hotly contested 2000 Election for President. His Administration was largely defined by the events of September 11, 2001 — The destruction of the World Trade Center, after which he led the war on terror. President Bush created the Department of Homeland Security, but started wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, both of which should not have happened. He also enacted Tax Cuts, expanded Medicare, signed the No Child Left Behind education bill, and launched the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Shortly before the end of his Administration, a Global Financial Crisis and major Recession took place.”
For President Bill Clinton, Trump&#8217;s plaque highlights the economic boom in the 1990s, but it also mentions the &#8220;scandals that plagued his presidency.&#8221; The end of Clinton&#8217;s biography states, &#8220;In 2016, President Clinton’s wife, Hillary Clinton, lost the Presidency to President Donald J. Trump!&#8221;
President Ronald Reagan&#8217;s plaque reads, &#8220;Ronald Reagan won the Cold War, and transformed American politics and the Conservative Movement. Before entering the White House, Reagan was a Hollywood actor, President of the Screen Actors Guild, Governor of California and, for decades, a leading voice in American Conservatism. As President, he enacted Tax Cuts, presided over a thriving Economy, and rebuilt the American Military. He survived being shot by an assassin, and confronted the Soviet Union with striking moral clarity, labeling it an &#8216;evil empire,&#8217; and putting unprecedented pressure on the Communist menace. Known as &#8216;The Great Communicator,&#8217; he was re-elected in a landslide in 1984, and left office with high approval, having restored National Confidence, Spirit, and Will. He was a fan of President Donald J. Trump long before President Trump’s Historic run for the White House. Likewise, President Trump was a fan of his!&#8221;
Of course, the most admiring biography was for Trump, with the president&#8217;s plaques reading, &#8220;On January 20, 2025, Donald J. Trump became the first President in 132 years to be sworn into office for a second non-consecutive term, following his Historic Victory in an Electoral College landslide, 312 to 226. Overcoming unprecedented Weaponization of Law Enforcement against him, as well as two assassination attempts, he won all battleground States by millions of votes, was the first Republican in decades to win the Popular Vote, BIG, and won 86% of Counties in America, 2,700 to 525. All 50 States shifted toward the Republican Party for the first time ever. At his Inauguration, President Trump announced the beginning of the &#8216;Golden Age of America,&#8217; and he delivered, ending eight wars in his first eight months, securing the Border, deporting gang members and migrant criminals, making our Cities safe, helping our Farmers, defeating Inflation, reducing Energy costs, and drawing Trillions of Dollars of new Investment, a RECORD, into the United States.&#8221;
&#8220;President Trump signed the Largest Tax Cuts in American History, the Largest Spending Cuts in American History, and implemented the Largest Ever Regulation Cuts,&#8221; a second plaque adds. &#8220;He obliterated Iran&#8217;s nuclear enrichment capacity with Operation Midnight Hammer, convinced NATO Countries to agree to increase contributions from 2% to 5% of GDP, reformed the Global Trading System, and made America Rich with Historic Tariffs, removed Critical Race Theory and transgender insanity from public schools, and banned men from women&#8217;s sports. He began the construction of the Golden Dome missile defense shield, renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, and has built, right here at the White House, the magnificent Trump Presidential Ballroom after a 225 year wait—but THE BEST IS YET TO COME!&#8221;

Former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, were ordered to appear before Congress for depositions on the Jeffrey Epstein probe next month after the two powerful Democrats attempted to avoid the House Oversight Committee&#8217;s grilling.
The Clintons&#8217; lawyer wrote a letter to the House Oversight Committee on November 3 in an attempt to get the former president and former Secretary of State out of testifying in person. The Clintons&#8217; attorney asked if they could simply submit “a written proffer of what little information” they have on Epstein. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) <a href="https://x.com/RepJamesComer/status/1991877484208595253">denied</a> that request on Friday and ordered the Clintons to appear for their depositions on December 17 and 18.
&#8220;As your letter indicates, both President Clinton and Secretary Clinton possess information relevant to the Committee&#8217;s investigation,&#8221; Comer wrote to the Clintons&#8217; attorney, David Kendall.
&#8220;Additionally, your suggestion that your clients’ testimony would not be relevant to the stated purposes of the Committee’s investigation because the events in question took place outside of the Clintons’ respective official duties, misses the Committee’s point,&#8221; Comer added. &#8220;It is precisely the fact President Clinton and Secretary Clinton each maintained relationships with Mr. Epstein and Ms. [Ghislaine] Maxwell in their personal capacities as private citizens that is of interest to the Committee.&#8221;
Former President Clinton is scheduled to appear before the committee at 10:00 a.m. on December 17, while the former first lady is set to appear at 10:00 a.m. on December 18.
A House Oversight panel <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-panel-votes-to-subpoena-epstein-files-clintons-ex-law-enforcement-leaders">voted</a> in July to subpoena the Clintons, along with former law enforcement leaders and more files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Three Republicans joined with five Democrats in the vote to approve the subpoenas. Comer then issued the subpoenas for the Clintons on August 5.

The Clintons were ordered to appear for their depositions after President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-unleashes-doj-to-investigate-epsteins-democrat-friends">directed</a> the Justice Department to investigate former President Clinton over his ties to Epstein. Attorney General Pam Bondi <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bondi-says-new-info-warrants-more-epstein-investigations-as-doj-sets-sights-on-his-dem-pals?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Bondi+Says+%E2%80%98New+Info%E2%80%99+Warrants+More+Epstein+Investigations+As+DOJ+Sets+Sights+On+His+Dem+Pals">said</a> on Wednesday that &#8220;new information&#8221; warrants further investigations into Epstein and those connected to him after the Justice Department closed its investigation into Epstein earlier this year.
Trump also signed legislation earlier this week to release the remaining Epstein files after arguing that Democrats have focused on what he has called the Epstein &#8220;hoax&#8221; to deflect from other issues.
Bill Clinton traveled with Epstein and Maxwell multiple times, with flight records indicating that the former president was with Epstein on his infamous “Lolita Express,” the airplane Epstein is accused of using to sex traffic underage girls. The former president <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/bill-clinton-jeffrey-epstein/story?id=127629827">traveled</a> with the financier and his associate to numerous countries, including Bangkok, Brunei, Rwanda, Russia, and China.
Trump has suggested that Bill Clinton visited Epstein&#8217;s island in the Virgin Islands, but the former president has denied that he ever set foot on the island. In an email released by the House Oversight Committee earlier this month, Epstein wrote that Bill Clinton &#8220;was NEVER EVER there, never.&#8221;
There is no evidence that Hillary traveled with Epstein, and neither Bill nor Hillary has been accused of any wrongdoing related to Epstein&#8217;s sex crimes.
The Clintons&#8217; attorney stated in his November 3 letter that both Bill and Hillary &#8220;welcome legitimate oversight,&#8221; seeking to uncover the truth behind Epstein&#8217;s and Maxwell&#8217;s crimes. The attorney added that the Clintons &#8220;have little to contribute to that legitimate goal, all of which can be readily submitted on paper.&#8221;
Comer argued that the committee is &#8220;entitled to a fulsome examination&#8221; of the information that the Clintons possess on Epstein and &#8220;the ability to elicit the information in person and to ask relevant follow-up questions.&#8221;

Congress Just Ordered The Clintons To Face Epstein Depositions. Here’s When They’ll Be Grilled.

President Donald Trump believes Democrats are reviving attention on Jeffrey Epstein to distract from the party’s recent government shutdown failure. Now, the president is directing his own focus toward Epstein, calling out prominent Democrats who had ties to the convicted sex offender.
Trump directed the Department of Justice on Friday to investigate Epstein&#8217;s connections to a list of powerful Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton, former U.S. Treasury Secretary and Harvard President Larry Summers, and venture capitalist Reid Hoffman. Trump compared the Democratic Party&#8217;s focus on Epstein to the Russian collusion investigation during his first administration, arguing that all the &#8220;arrows&#8221; are &#8220;pointing to the Democrats.&#8221;
&#8220;Now that the Democrats are using the Epstein Hoax, involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN, and all of their other failures, I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115548785919046772">wrote</a> on Truth Social.
&#8220;Records show that these men, and many others, spent large portions of their life with Epstein, and on his &#8216;Island.&#8217; Stay tuned!!!&#8221; Trump added.
Trump&#8217;s directive comes two days after Democrats <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dems-drop-new-epstein-emails-in-which-he-claims-trump-knew-about-the-girls">released</a> multiple Epstein emails, including correspondence in which the pedophile claimed that Trump &#8220;knew about the girls&#8221; and “spent hours” at Epstein’s home with one of the sexual abuser&#8217;s victims. The House GOP Oversight Committee released an additional 20,000 pages of documents on Wednesday, and the White House <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-responds-to-epstein-emails-dropped-by-dems-says-its-an-attempt-to-deflect-from-shutdown">said</a> that the contents further confirm that Trump did not take part in Epstein&#8217;s sex crimes.
“The Democrats selectively leaked emails to the liberal media to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump. The ‘unnamed victim’ referenced in these emails is the late Virginia Giuffre, who repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever and ‘couldn’t have been friendlier’ to her in their limited interactions,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Trump also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-responds-to-epstein-emails-dropped-by-dems-says-its-an-attempt-to-deflect-from-shutdown">responded</a> to the Epstein email dump, saying on Wednesday that &#8220;Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax again because they’ll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they’ve done on the Shutdown.&#8221; He added, &#8220;Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap.&#8221;
Clinton&#8217;s association with Epstein is well documented, but — like Trump — the former president has not been accused of any wrongdoing related to Epstein&#8217;s crimes. Clinton traveled across the world with Epstein numerous times, with flight records indicating that the former president was on Epstein&#8217;s infamous “Lolita Express,” the airplane on which Epstein is accused of using to sex traffic underage girls. In 2002, Clinton was also <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-2002-pic-epstein-195200112.html">pictured</a> getting a massage from one of Epstein&#8217;s accusers, then-22-year-old Chauntae Davies. Davies accused Epstein of raping her multiple times over the course of four years. She did not accuse Clinton of any wrongdoing.
Summers also had a good relationship with Epstein, as did financial power player Hoffman. None of those men has been publicly accused by any of the women who were victimized by Epstein. Summers and Epstein communicated regularly throughout the years, and the latest Epstein email dump revealed that Summers <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/us/politics/epstein-larry-summers.html">asked</a> Epstein for advice about a relationship with a woman after Epstein had pleaded guilty to state-level prostitution charges.
Hoffman <a href="https://www.axios.com/2019/09/12/reid-hoffman-jeffrey-epstein-mit-donations">admitted</a> in 2019 that his relationship with Epstein and his agreement to participate in a fundraising event alongside him &#8220;helped to repair [Epstein&#8217;s] reputation and perpetuate injustice.&#8221;
&#8220;For this, I am deeply regretful,&#8221; Hoffman added.
J.P. Morgan Chase, one of the world&#8217;s largest banks, has faced scrutiny after <a href="https://docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU00/20250917/118612/HHRG-119-JU00-20250917-SD055-U55.pdf">processing and handling</a> more than $1 billion for Epstein over the course of 15 years. JPMorgan agreed to a $290 million settlement with Epstein&#8217;s victims in 2023 after it was accused of ignoring red flags about Epstein&#8217;s sex trafficking.
