Clinton calls on Trump to release complete Epstein records, saying a person is ‘under protection’

The Legal and Political Context

The Epstein Files Transparency Act, passed in early 2025, was specifically designed to prevent extended secrecy around documents tied to Epstein and his associates.

Under the Act, all federal agencies are required to release any relevant records related to Epstein investigations, including communications, photographs, and deposition transcripts, except in cases where disclosure would compromise active investigations or personal privacy of third parties unrelated to the matter.

Despite this law, Ureña asserts that the release by the DOJ fell short of full compliance.

While hundreds of thousands of pages were published, significant portions remain redacted, and there is concern that additional materials, particularly those referencing Clinton and other prominent figures, have been withheld.

He urged that President Trump, who was in office at the time of the release, instruct Attorney General Pam Bondi to immediately make all remaining materials public, including images and references involving Clinton.

The broader political context also contributes to the heightened scrutiny. Epstein’s connections spanned the global elite, and many high-profile individuals, including former President Donald Trump, appear in the filings.

While no criminal charges stem from these appearances, the release of partially redacted files can create a climate of suspicion and speculation.

By calling for full disclosure, Clinton’s team aims to ensure that the public can see the complete picture rather than isolated fragments that may be misinterpreted.

Allegations of Shielding Other Individuals

Ureña has repeatedly emphasized that Clinton himself is not seeking protection, but that the selective release may benefit others.

He explained that the redactions, combined with the timing of the release, suggest that authorities might be deliberately obscuring information related to individuals whose names appear elsewhere in the files.

“The release is heavily edited, with entire pages blacked out. This suggests someone is being shielded, though we do not yet know who,” he said.

This concern is compounded by historical precedent: Epstein’s case involved numerous high-profile figures, many of whom had previously been investigated but not charged.

Past DOJ investigations, under both Republican and Democratic leadership, have consistently cleared Clinton of any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.

Yet the selective release of these files could nonetheless create a misleading narrative in the eyes of the public, fueling speculation and conspiracy theories.
