Former President Bill Clinton is among the famous faces appearing in the trove of fresh images related to the Jeffrey Epstein case that were released Dec. 19 by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The Trump administration is putting thousands of documents online under a deadline imposed by Congress, which bucked the Trump White House on Epstein amid an intense and bipartisan interest in his sex trafficking case.
It's long been known Clinton was friendly with Epstein, the wealth manager who died by suicide in jail in 2019 at the age of 66 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Clinton, a Democrat who served as president from 1993 until 2001, has repeatedly denied any knowledge of Epstein's alleged criminal conduct.
In the files released Friday, the former president appears in several newly unveiled photographs under a section labeled "Epstein Files Transparency Act." In one set, Clinton appears with Ghislaine Maxwell -- who is serving 20 years in federal prison for conspiring with Epstein -- at the Winston Churchill War Rooms in London.
In other photographs, Clinton is depicted in a hot tub. In another, he poses with a woman whose face has been obscured. Neither the context or timing of the photos is explained in the documents the Justice Department released on Dec. 19.
