Joe Rogan brutally mocked Bill Clinton’s demand that anyone connected to the Epstein files be exposed after the former president appeared in several photos with the billionaire pedophile.

Clinton, in a statement through his spokesman, said Monday that ‘someone or something is being protected’ by Attorney General Pam Bondi after the latest batch of Epstein documents were released.

‘We need no such protection,’ Clinton’s rep insisted.

Rogan and fellow comedian Tom Segura were discussing the files when the podcast host dragged up Clinton’s statement to go through, line by line, mocking the former president’s already well known connections to Epstein.

After reading the line about needing ‘no such protection,’ Rogan quipped: ‘This is like the k!ller pretending to be the detective. ‘We have got to solve this crime. We do not know who!”

Segura added: ‘This is the k!ller joining the search party.’

‘We got photos of you in a hot tub, buddy,’ Rogan joked, referencing one of the more infamous snaps of Clinton in the files.

Rogan went further and suggested that Clinton’s statement suggested that he had made some sort of ‘deal’ with the government for protection over the files drop.

‘This means a deal was made,’ he said. ‘So if you release a press release like that, it means the call went well. You got a deal in. ‘Whew, we’re good! All we have to do is let him run for a third term.”

He also hypothesized that the amount of time taken to release the files suggests they could’ve been made by artificial intelligence.

Rogan asked: ‘Doesn’t it seem like you could throw all of that into AI at this stage in the game and just redact the names of the victims and let’s go?’

Clinton called on Bondi to ‘immediately release any remaining materials referring to, mentioning, or containing a photograph of Bill Clinton’.

He accused the DOJ of ‘selective releases to imply wrongdoing about individuals who have already been repeatedly cleared by the very same Department of Justice, over many years.’

Clinton further alleged that by not releasing the files, the DOJ would be confirming suspicions that its actions are about ‘insinuation’ and not transparency.

His statement comes as a group of 19 alleged victims of Epstein and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell accused the government of missteps in the partial release of the files.

They accused the DOJ of violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act by ‘withholding massive quantities of documents’ and ‘failing to redact survivor identities.’

They argued that the failure to release the full trove of files and the DOJ’s alleged lack of communication about its actions ‘suggests an ongoing intent to keep survivors and the public in the dark as much as possible and as long as possible.’

The records that were released by the DOJ last week – including photographs, interview transcripts, call logs, court records and other documents – were either already public or heavily blacked out, and many lacked necessary context.

Do YOU think Bill Clinton should make an additional statement?

Yes

No

There were few revelations in the tens of thousands of pages of records that have been released so far.

Some of the most eagerly awaited records, such as FBI victim interviews and internal memos shedding light on charging decisions, weren’t there.

‘This law, enacted by a nearly unanimous vote in the House and unanimously in the Senate, and signed by the President, was clear. It afforded no permission for delayed disclosure,’ the alleged victims wrote in the statement released Monday.

‘Instead, the public received a fraction of the files, and what we received was riddled with abnormal and extreme redactions with no explanation. At the same time, numerous victim identities were left unredacted, causing real and immediate harm.’

The women accused the DOJ of violating the law by failing to release all the files and claimed that omissions by redactions also amounted to failure.

‘These are clear-cut violations of an unambiguous law,’ the statement read.

‘Moreover, the partial release was done in a manner that made it difficult or impossible for survivors to find materials that would be most relevant to our search for accountability.’

The survivors further called lawmakers to take action to ensure the DOJ fulfills its obligations of the law, urging for ‘immediate congressional oversight, including hearings, formal demands for compliance, and legal action.’

Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has now urged his colleagues to take legal action over the DOJ’s incremental and heavily redacted release of the records.

He introduced a resolution Monday that, if passed, would direct the Senate to file or join lawsuits aimed at forcing the DOJ to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act – the law enacted last month that required disclosure of records by last Friday.

‘Instead of transparency, the Trump administration released a tiny fraction of the files and blacked out massive portions of what little they provided,’ Schumer, the Senate’s top Democrat said in a statement. ‘This is a blatant cover-up.’

In lieu of Republican support, Schumer’s resolution is largely symbolic. The senate is off until January 5, more than two weeks after the deadline.

Even then, it’ll likely face an uphill battle for passage. But it allows Democrats to continue a pressure campaign for disclosure that Republicans had hoped to put behind them.

The Justice Department said it plans to release records on a rolling basis by the end of the year. It blamed the delay on the time-consuming process of obscuring victims’ names and other identifying information.

So far, the department hasn’t given any notice when new records arrive.

That approach angered some accusers and members of Congress who fought to pass the transparency act.

Democrats accused Republicans of a cover-up after files that had been available Friday were no longer accessible on the DOJ’s website by Saturday.

The missing files included images of paintings depicting nude women, and one showed a series of photographs along a credenza and in drawers.

In that image – inside a drawer among other photos – was a photograph of Trump, alongside the pedophile, Melania Trump and Epstein’s longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.

The DOJ said that the image of the Trump was flagged by the Southern District of New York ‘for potential further action to protect victims’.

Following furious backlash, the image was reinstated on Sunday morning after it was determined that ‘there is no evidence that any Epstein victims are depicted in the photograph’, a statement posted on X said.

Trump, who was friends with Epstein for years before the two had a falling-out, tried for months to keep the records sealed.

Though the President has not been accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, he has argued there is nothing to see in the files and that the public should focus on other issues.

But Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche on Sunday defended the DOJ’s decision to release just a fraction of the Epstein files by the congressionally mandated deadline as necessary actions to protect the pedophile’s victims.

He pledged that the Trump administration eventually would meet its obligation required by law – but stressed that the department was obligated to act with caution as it goes about making public documents that can include sensitive information.

Federal prosecutors in New York brought s3x trafficking charges against Epstein in 2019, but he k!lled himself in jail after his arrest.

Maxwell, Epstein’s onetime girlfriend, is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for her 2021 conviction for s3x trafficking crimes.

The deputy attorney general also defended the decision by the federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to transfer Maxwell to a less restrictive, minimum-security federal prison earlier this year, soon after he interviewed her about Epstein.

Blanche said that the transfer was made because of concerns about her safety.

‘She was suffering numerous threats against her life,’ Blanche said. ‘So the BOP is not only responsible for putting people in jail and making sure they stay in jail, but also for their safety.’
