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 remember a con just about having an aneurysm over Clinton “getting away” with…a BJ. Every time it came up. Well into the 2000s.

    The cons all spent the better part of a decade trying to “get” Bill and/or Hillary on something and thought they had a slam dunk on the stain on a dress. And then the technical aspect of “lying under oath”.

    I ask these types what he really did that was truly illegal (aside from the supposed “lying under oath”) since adultery is not illegal. One of these guys explodes with: “BUT IT SHOULD BE!”

    Dude is already reddish-purple with rage, but I asked him what he thought about ol’ Newt doing the same thing: Reaction: What are you even talking about? (I calmly explain Newt was cheating on his wife while sermonizing about Clinton) Practically popping a blood vessel: SO WHAT? WHO CARES?!!! I’M TALKING ABOUT CLINTON!
