Hillary Clinton says the Trump administration isn't coming clean on Jeffrey Epstein as part of a "continuing cover-up." In a BBC interview from Berlin, the former secretary of state accused officials of "slow-walking" the release of Epstein-related documents and "redacting the names of men" in the files, per CNN. "Get the files out," she urged. The Justice Department this month released millions of pages tied to the late financier, but held back about 3 million more, citing sensitive medical records, explicit material involving minors, and information that could hinder ongoing investigations. Attorney General Pam Bondi has said the release in accordance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act is now complete, per the BBC.
Clinton disputed that, adding she wants all requested witnesses to testify before Congress in the Epstein inquiry, including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, though the House Oversight Committee can't force him to appear. The panel did pressure the Clintons, who initially resisted, before they agreed to testify next week in what will be the first appearance by a former president before such a panel since 1983. She contended Republicans are using the Clintons as a distraction from President Trump's Epstein ties. "I just want it to be fair. I want everybody treated the same way," Clinton said, adding, "That's not true for my husband and me," who were not allowed to present written statements as some other witnesses. Clinton stressed that she never even met Epstein. Trump, in contrast, was friends with the billionaire financier for years.
