CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig on Monday said former President Bill Clinton “can’t hide” from the photos released last week by the Justice Department — which show him swimming with an unidentified woman and convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.
Clinton appeared in numerous images alongside Maxwell and her late former accomplice Jeffrey Epstein, whose suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges fueled theories of a “client list,” raising questions about Clinton.
“However, what the Department of Justice has released so far, and the manner in which it did so, makes one thing clear: someone or something is being protected,” wrote Angel Ureña, a spokesman for Clinton, on social media Monday. “We do not know whom, what or why.”
He continued, “But we do know this: We need no such protection.”
Honig appeared later on CNN’s “The Source” to discuss the confident response. He reacted bluntly when asked if the Justice Department is capable of “immediately” releasing any remaining images of Clinton they might have — as the statement Monday demanded.
