Hillary Clinton accuses Trump of 'cover-up on the Epstein Files'
Hillary Clinton has accused the Trump administration of a cover-up regarding the management of files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Hillary Clinton has leveled serious accusations against President Donald Trump's administration, alleging that they are engaging in a cover-up concerning the Epstein files, related to the late Jeffrey Epstein, who was a notorious sex offender. Speaking at the annual Global Forum in Berlin, Clinton urged the release of these files, expressing concern over the sluggish progress in their publication. The White House, however, defended their actions, claiming that they have done more for the victims in question than the Democrats have ever accomplished.
In the same discussion, Clinton was asked about Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s potential testimony before Congress. She emphasized that anyone invited to testify should do so, suggesting a sense of accountability regarding individuals connected to Epstein's scandal. Notably, both Bill and Hillary Clinton are set to appear before Congress, with Bill Clinton scheduled to testify on February 27, while Hillary will present the day before. This marks a significant moment in U.S. political history, as it will be the first time since Gerald Ford in 1983 that a former president has testified before a congressional committee.
This unfolding situation underlines ongoing tensions regarding how Epstein’s victims have been treated and the extent to which powerful figures are held accountable. Clinton's comments reflect wider concerns among some Democrats about the Republican administration's transparency with regards to sensitive information and could have implications for upcoming political battles as both parties strive to assert their positions on issues of justice and accountability.
