Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said Sunday that former President Clinton “should address” questions surrounding files linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“Former President Bill Clinton is featured prominently in the first batch, as I was just discussing now. To be very clear, NBC News does not know the full context behind these images, and simply being in the Epstein files doesn’t imply any criminal wrongdoing, but does Clinton owe the public an explanation about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein?” NBC News’s Kristen Welker asked Kaine on “Meet the Press.”
“You know, I actually haven’t tracked what President Clinton has said, and if there are unanswered questions, you know, he should address them, and I suspect he will,” Kaine replied.
“But, let’s just make sure that we meet the promise that President Trump made as a candidate, that all these files will be released. Let’s put all the facts and all the material out on the table, and then folks can reach their own judgments about anybody connected with this horrible, horrible case,” the Virginia senator, who was the 2016 running mate of Clinton’s wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, said.
The former president appeared in multiple Epstein document photographs released to the public last Friday. Clinton’s link to the disgraced financier has been known and he has not faced any allegations of wrongdoing related to Epstein.
