Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has caused a political earthquake by accusing the Department of Justice under the leadership of Pam Bondi of systematically covering up key evidence in the case of Jeffrey Epstein. During her stay in Berlin for a security conference, Clinton called on officials to immediately disclose all materials. According to the former Democratic presidential candidate, the current administration is applying numerous redactions of names and deliberately slowing down the publication process of controversial emails and video recordings, which is intended to divert public attention from the connections of Donald Trump himself with the sex offender who died in 2019. Jeffrey Epstein was an American financier who was convicted in 2008 for sex crimes against minors. His suicide in federal custody in 2019 sparked numerous conspiracy theories involving influential figures from political and business circles. In response to these allegations, President Donald Trump stated aboard Air Force One that he has been completely cleared of suspicions and has nothing to hide. Trump repeatedly emphasized that he cut ties with Epstein many years before his arrest, while pointing to Bill Clinton as someone more frequently seen in the financier's company. The current situation intensifies the conflict ahead of planned congressional hearings, which are expected to shed new light on the network of connections among New York elites. Both sides are mutually accusing each other of loyalty to ethical standards, making the Epstein case a central point of the current political battle in the United States. „Release these files. They are acting too slowly. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.” — Hillary Clinton Both Hillary Clinton and her husband announced that they will appear before a Congressional committee on February 26 and 27. They emphasize that their readiness to testify proves their innocence, and the current attacks by Republicans are merely an attempt to create a smokescreen for the White House's image problems. Experts predict that the publication of further batches of documents could influence polls ahead of upcoming political trials. The situation remains dynamic, especially in light of reports about the possible involvement of international organizations in investigating the scale of human trafficking linked to this case. 26-27 February — date of Clintons' testimony before Congress [{"dateISO": "2026-02-16", "date": "February 16, 2026", "event": "Hillary Clinton's BBC interview about covering up files"}, {"dateISO": "2026-02-26", "date": "February 26, 2026", "event": "Hillary Clinton's hearing before the House committee"}, {"dateISO": "2026-02-27", "date": "February 27, 2026", "event": "Bill Clinton's testimony before Congress"}]
