Clinton's spokesperson argued that selectively releasing documents, such as pictures of the former president, could insinuate wrongdoing about people 'who have been repeatedly cleared.'

Former President Bill Clinton’s spokesperson called for the Justice Department to release all of its documents about the investigation of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, to avoid insinuating wrongdoing against people "who have been repeatedly cleared."

Pictures of Clinton, including one in a hot tub and others with celebrities, were among documents the Justice Department released Friday, Dec. 19, under a new law.

But the department was criticized for withholding hundreds of thousands of pages of additional documents by women who accused Epstein of abuse, by lawmakers and by Clinton's deputy chief of staff Angel Urena.

Clinton needs no protection from releasing all remaining documents that mention or contain a photograph of him, Urena said in a social media post on Monday, Dec. 22.
