Hillary Clinton makes huge accusations against Trump as she breaks silence on Epstein files after husband Bill’s photos

Hillary Clinton has hit out at Donald Trump after she addressed her husband Bill's appearance in the Epstein files.

The former presidential candidate, who lost to Trump in 2016, sat down with the BBC in Berlin where she had been attending the World Forum.

It comes after millions of documents from the estate of convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein have been made public, implicating many famous and influential figures.

Among those named in the files is Donald Trump and former US president Bill Clinton. Being named in the Epstein files does not indicate wrongdoing.

Now, Clinton has hit out at Trump over his handling of the files, and made a big accusation against the Trump administration.

She claimed that she and her husband Bill were being disproportionately targeted in a bid to pull focus from Trump.

"Look at this shiny object," she said. "We're going to have the Clintons, even Hillary Clinton, who never met the guy."

Clinton also accused the Trump administration of attempting to 'cover up' the files.

"Get the files out. They are slow-walking it," she said.

It comes as the Clintons agreed to testify in a congressional investigation into Epstein after the House brought forward a motion to find them in contempt of Congress.

The bill proposed to find Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt over their initial refusal to appear before the House Oversight Committee, with Republican committee chair James Comer accusing them of 'delay'.

Speaking to the BBC, Hillary Clinton said: "We will show up but we think it would be better to have it in public."

She added: "I just want it to be fair. I want everybody treated the same way.

"We have nothing to hide. We have called for the full release of these files repeatedly. We think sunlight is the best disinfectant."

Hillary will testify on 26 February and Bill will testify the following day.

Responding to Clinton's comments to the BBC, Trump said: "I've been exonerated. I had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. They went in hoping that they'd find it, and they found just the opposite."

The US Department of Justice has previously released a statement responding to the allegations against Trump, which said: "Some docs contain untrue and sensationalist claims against Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election.

"To be clear the claims are unfounded and false and if they have any shred of credibility they certainly would have been weaponised against Trump already."

A statement from the White House also said: "By releasing thousands of pages of documents, co-operating with the House Oversight Committee's subpoena request, and President Trump recently calling for further investigations into Epstein's Democrat friends, the Trump Administration has done more for the victims than Democrats ever have."
