Democrats’ push for Epstein files boomeranged with Clinton featured prominently throughout
Be careful what you ask for: The most recent disclosures, posted on Friday, blows back on Democrats who sought concrete implication of Trump in the files.

Democrats' push for the release of documents surrounding convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein through a House vote appears to have backfired, as the disclosures intended to scrutinize Team Trump have instead spotlighted their own party's connections, including former President Bill Clinton's prominent mentions and salacious photos with the disgraced financier and/or young women. Clinton had long been married to Hillary Clinton at the time the photos were taken.
The boomerang also hit Virgin Islands Democrat Delegate Stacey Plaskett in a swath of 2019 text exchanges with Epstein that were revealed during a congressional hearing on Trump, in which Epstein appeared to guide her questions, prompting Republicans to highlight Democratic hypocrisy.
Kiddie porn investigation stalled while Clinton was in White HouseAdding to the headache for Democrats is the fact that, in this most recent tranche of formerly-classified documents, it's been revealed that the first known opportunity to investigate, and possibly charge Epstein — with child pornography — was during Clinton's time in office, but his Department of Justice (DOJ) declined to proceed.
The latest tranche from Friday reveals a previously unacknowledged 1996 complaint to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) alleging that Epstein possessed and distributed child pornography, filed by Maria Farmer, an artist who worked for Epstein in the 1990s.
Farmer claimed that Epstein stole nude photos she had taken of her underage sisters (aged 12 and 16) for her artwork, which he then allegedly sold or distributed.
