Trump has startling response after Bill Clinton made demand over being pictured in Epstein files-lllllllllllll
Donald Trump has publicly commented on the inclusion of former President Bill Clinton in the infamous Epstein files for the first time.
The 47th US President spoke to reporters yesterday (22 December), mere days after the Department of Justice (DOJ) finally dropped the bombshell everyone was waiting for, making thousands of files linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein public.
Epstein, who was found dead in a New York prison cell after being arrested on s e x trafficking charges in 2019, has been the subject of conversation for years, with calls to release documents pertaining to Epstein's case having gone on for a while.
Over 13,000 documents were shared by the DOJ on Friday, with several big names, such as President Trump, Kevin Spacey, Michael Jackson, and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, among the celebrities pictured. However, being included in the files doesn't indicate any wrongdoing, and several have previously denied any knowledge of Epstein's crimes.
It's been said that at least 13 photos have disappeared from the website on Saturday, including one of Trump, which has since been reinstated. However, this led Democrats on the House Oversight Committee to question if anything was being 'covered up'.

Clinton, the 42nd President of the US, was also pictured numerous times and released a statement via a spokesperson about 'someone or something being protected', urging the DOJ to release the rest of the Epstein files.
Trump spoke to reporters about the inclusion of the former President in the pictures, saying he didn't 'like the pictures of other people being shown'.
A press conference was held to announce new battleships for the Navy, but, given it was the first since the largest release of the Epstein files yet, Trump was unsurprisingly faced with some questions.
“I don’t like the pictures of Bill Clinton being shown. I don’t like the pictures of other people being shown. I think it’s a terrible thing,” the 79-year-old stated.
He even said he's 'always gotten along with Bill Clinton', that he respects him and that he 'hates' to see pictures come out of him in the files.

Trump then highlighted that 'this is what the Democrats and a couple of bad Republicans are asking for', noting that Clinton is a 'big boy' and can probably handle the scrutiny.
Photos were taken on Epstein's plane, his home, or at social events, among other settings, though the context surrounding where and when the pictures were taken is unknown, as the President pointed out that the 'tremendous backlash' to documents has come after it has put 'people that innocently met Jeffrey Epstein years ago' in a bad light.
The President added: “A lot of people are very angry that pictures are being released of other people that really had nothing to do with Epstein, but they’re in a picture with him because he was at a party, and you ruin a reputation of somebody, so a lot of people are very angry that this continues.”
Angel Ureña, a spokesperson of Clinton's, claimed that photos of the former Democrat President were specifically chosen 'to imply wrongdoing about individuals who have already been repeatedly cleared by the very same Department of Justice, over many years, under Presidents and Attorneys General of both parties'.
"The Epstein Files Transparency Act imposes a clear legal duty on the US Department of Justice to produce the full and complete record the public demands and deserves," the statement read.
"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.
"We do not know whom, what or why. But we do know this: We need no such protection."
Ureña said they are calling on Trump and Attorney General Bondi to release all remaining materials that mention or depict Clinton, including 'grand jury transcripts, interview notes, photographs, and findings' by the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

He said: "Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the Department of Justice's actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation - using selective releases to imply wrongdoing about individuals who have already been repeatedly cleared by the very same Department of Justice, over many years, under Presidents and Attorneys General of both parties."
Trump himself has acknowledged that he was among the people in the photos released in the document, though he has continuously denied any wrongdoing, claiming on Monday that the files were a distraction from his administration's work.
“What this whole thing is with Epstein is a way of trying to deflect from the tremendous success that the Republican Party has,” he stated. “I believe we’re going to have the most successful economy in history.
“They don’t want to talk about that - they want to talk about Epstein.”

BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.
