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.
He lied about it under oath. While testifying before Congress. As the defendant in a sexual harassment suit. That’s the only part that matters legally.
meanwhile trump can’t even fart without it being a lie. violate court orders and face absolutely no consequences.
also, Clinton was president during that lie, and according to current laws (I know laws don’t apply retroactively, but that specific law was), Clinton perjury would not be a crime, let alone an impeachable offense.
He didn’t, actually. The lawyers very clearly defined in that court “sexual relations” as P in V. Clinton, being a lawyer, saw the ability to drop that line, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” as a legal win. And it was.
The prosecution wasn’t trying to win in that court. They were trying to destroy his PR.
