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.
