Hillary Clinton slams Trump administration over Esptein files handling

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accused the Trump administration of a cover-up regarding the Justice Department's handling of Epstein files release amid growing pressure for her to testify about her knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's dealings, as reported by CBS News' Natalie Brand. The accusations come as Clinton faces increasing scrutiny regarding her connections to Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Clinton's spokesperson emphasized that she had previously stated she only met Epstein on a few occasions and that her interactions were entirely appropriate, but the renewed attention has placed her at the center of the ongoing investigation into Epstein's extensive network of powerful associates and enablers. The Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files has drawn criticism from various quarters, with critics suggesting that the release of documents has been unnecessarily slow and redacted in ways that protect high-profile individuals.
