Sen. Tim Kaine: Bill Clinton Should Address Questions About Photos In Epstein Files | EUROtoday

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) stated former President Bill Clinton ought to handle the general public’s questions on his look in quite a few photos launched by the Department of Justice final week in relation to convicted intercourse offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“You know, I actually haven’t tracked what President Clinton said, and if there are unanswered questions, he should address them,” Kaine advised NBC News’s Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press” Sunday. “And I suspect he will.”

Kaine, who was former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s working mate within the 2016 presidential election, went on to emphasize that it was essential for all the Epstein recordsdata be launched.

“Let’s put all the facts and all the material out on the table, and then folks can reach their own judgments about anybody connected with this horrible, horrible case,” Kaine stated.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act gave the Justice Department 30 days to publish all of its Epstein data “in a searchable and downloadable format.” On Friday, the DOJ launched some ― although not all ― of its paperwork, images and recordings associated to Epstein, lots of which had been utterly redacted.

Clinton and different public figures appeared in a number of images in quite a lot of social settings alongside Epstein and his affiliate Ghislaine Maxwell. The instances and areas weren’t specified within the launched recordsdata.

Clinton has not been accused of wrongdoing in relation to Epstein’s crimes.

On Friday, White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson posted a photograph on X of Clinton, pop star Michael Jackson and singer Diana Ross alongside a number of minors whose faces had been redacted within the picture.

“Per the Epstein Files Transparency Act, DOJ was specifically instructed only to redact the faces of victims and/or minors,” she captioned the submit. “Here is a picture of Bill Clinton with his arm around Michael Jackson, and redacted individuals.”

Many on X blasted Jackson for alluding that the trio had been concerned in Epstein’s intercourse crimes, significantly for the reason that picture in her submit was a publicly accessible picture from Getty Images of the “Beat It” singer and his kids, in addition to Ross and her son posing with Clinton at a fundraiser.

Clinton has not publicly addressed Jackson’s X submit. Reps for Clinton didn’t instantly reply to HuffPost’s request for remark.

Jackson made the submit after President Donald Trump introduced that he would have the DOJ examine Clinton’s so-called ties to Epstein. In response, Clinton spokesperson Angel Ureña stated in an announcement: “These emails prove Bill Clinton did nothing and knew nothing. The rest is noise meant to distract from election losses, backfiring shutdowns, and who knows what else.”
