“Get the Files Out”: Hillary Clinton Accuses Trump Admin of Epstein File “Cover-Up”

In her latest public remarks at the 2026 World Forum in Berlin, Hillary Clinton condemned what she described as a calculated effort by the current U.S. executive branch to obstruct the full disclosure of Jeffrey Epstein’s history.

Speaking with the BBC, the former Secretary of State characterized the Department of Justice’s (DoJ) recent document handling as a “slow-walked” cover-up. While the Epstein Files Transparency Act recently compelled the release of approximately 3.5 million pages of records, Clinton argued that the withholding of nearly three million additional pages on the grounds of “sensitivity” is a tactical move to shield political allies and divert public scrutiny.

The Path to Congressional Testimony

Following months of high-stakes legal maneuvering and the threat of contempt charges, the Clintons have formally committed to appearing before the House Oversight Committee.

• Hillary Clinton is slated for a deposition on February 26, 2026.

• Bill Clinton will follow the next day, February 27, marking the first time a former president has addressed a congressional panel in over four decades.

Despite the committee’s preference for private sessions, Hillary Clinton has publicly campaigned for the hearings to be televised. She maintains that “sunlight is the best disinfectant” and accused the Republican-led committee of using her family as a “shiny object” to distract from President Trump’s own extensive mentions within the newly declassified archives.

A Growing Royal Crisis

The controversy has also reignited pressure on the British Royal Family. During her interview, Clinton asserted that “everyone asked to testify should testify,” a clear reference to the brother of King Charles III.

• Title Stripping: In late 2025, the King formally stripped his brother of his remaining royal titles and evicted him from his residence following explosive new details in a posthumous memoir.

• Posthumous Allegations: The memoir was authored by Virginia Giuffre, the primary Epstein accuser who tragically died by suicide in Australia on April 25, 2025. Her posthumous accounts have provided the catalyst for renewed legal pressure in both the U.S. and the U.K.

The Trump Administration’s Stance

From Air Force One, President Trump dismissed Clinton’s accusations, claiming total exoneration and asserting that his administration has facilitated more transparency regarding Epstein’s associates than any previous government. The White House continues to argue that certain redactions are legally necessary to protect the identities of victims and the integrity of ongoing criminal probes.
