Clinton's chief of staff, Angel Urea, issued a statement addressing the former president's appearance in the files. He said: "This is not about Bill Clinton. Even [White House chief of staff] Susie Wiles said Donald Trump was wrong about Bill Clinton." He added: "Everyone, especially MAGA, expects answers, not scapegoats."
The Justice Department stated it found no evidence to predicate further investigations against uncharged public figures, including Clinton, and noted the extensive use of redactions to protect victims' privacy. Despite this, the prominence of Clinton in the released photographs drew public and media attention. By contrast, Trump appeared in just a few images and was not featured as extensively in the initial release.
