The Epstein case It continues – and will continue – to have a queue in the US, and outside the country, for an indeterminable, but certainly considerable, time. And even more so if the leaks and publications of information related to the case (photos, letters, links and connections) They continue to come to light.
However, and despite the fact that at the time – less than a year ago – Trump assured that he would go to the end in this matter, it seems that little by little he is regretting it to a certain extent. With euphemisms, without saying it openly but putting less and less hidden obstacles, It seems that the president of the United States has some reluctance to reveal certain information.
This idea was introduced by Bill Clinton this Monday after the publication of several images in which he appears. himself with a woman in a jacuzzi. And Clinton defends that all documents be published in full, regardless of whether he leaves or not. However, the US Government, specifically the Department of Justice, They seem to be putting some issues into said post.
“The Epstein Files Transparency Act imposes on the Department of Justice the clear obligation to present the complete file, as the population demands and deserves. However, what the Justice Department has released to date, and the way in which it has done so, makes one thing clear: someone or something is being protected”, said Clinton’s spokesman, Angel Ureña.
These statements come just after Trump said that he does not like those images, according to the CBS television network. “I don’t like showing photos of Bill Clinton. I don’t like other people’s images being shown, I think it’s a terrible thing. “He’s a great guy, he can handle it but surely there are photos of other people who innocently met Epstein years ago, like well-respected bankers and lawyers.”
Likewise, he pointed out that Simply appearing with Epstein in a photo “can ruin the reputations of innocent people“And he noted that the man convicted of sexual abuse and trafficking of minors was “everywhere in Palm Beach, so many people crossed paths with him sooner or later” and may even appear “in some image because they were at the same party.”
These words from Trump are raising some controversy, since some of those allegedly involved in those images, as could be the case of Clinton, are the ones who encourage the justice system to publish everything, and on the other hand, it is the North American Government that is the one that objects to revealing some information and images. In fact, the Department of Justice recently removed a dozen photos from the case, with Trump present in some of them.
The Department of Justice points out that the removal of these images responds to requests from victims and They assure that Donald Trump has had nothing to do with it. In any case, he has claimed not to know “who, what or why” is behind these impediments. “We do know this: we do not need such protection. Accordingly, we urge President Trump to direct the Attorney General to immediately release any remaining materials that reference, mentions or contains photographs of Bill Clinton”, noted the statement issued by Clinton.
“Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion that the Justice Department’s actions to date They have nothing to do with transparency, but with the suggestion of using selective files to insinuate irregularities in relation to individuals who have already been repeatedly acquitted by the same Department of Justice, for many years, under presidents and attorneys general of both parties,” he concluded.
