On Friday, after years of demands, punchlines, and politicking, the Department of Justice released the massive trove of heavily redacted documents and photos that comprise the Epstein files.

Information about the disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 awaiting trial after public revelations of sex trafficking, much of it involving underage girls, has come out in bits and pieces over time, but Congress voted on a December 19 deadline to release the full contents of the files resulting from the government’s investigation of Epstein and his associates.

Many familiar faces and names are mentioned or pictured in the redacted documents, among them former President Bill Clinton, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly known as Prince Andrew, until he was recently stripped of his royal titles in connection with the Epstein scandal), and even Winnie the Pooh and Piglet (one victim claimed that Epstein took her to Disneyland, and photos are included in the data dump).

A spokesperson for Clinton, Angel Ureña, shared a statement on X (formerly Twitter) Friday in response to the release.
“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. 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. 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.”
His reference to Susie Wiles, chief of staff to Donald Trump, relates to revelations from Vanity Fair’s Chris Whipple earlier this week, based on several wide-ranging interviews with Wiles over a number of months.
