Clinton defends herself
A few hours after the files were published, Clinton’s representative, Ángel Ureña, came out in defense of the former president. In a publication on his X profile (formerly Twitter) he assured that There are “two types of people” those who knew nothing and cut ties with Epstein when his crimes came to light and those who “continued their relationship with him afterwards.” He has argued that Clinton is in the first.
Likewise, Ureña has taken the opportunity to criticize, ensuring that the White House uses the image of the former president to hide a truth that they do not want to come to light.
