President Donald Trump has stunned political observers after publicly defending Bill Clinton amid renewed backlash over newly released Epstein-related photos. Speaking during a White House event aired by C-SPAN on December 22, 2025, Trump downplayed the controversy, calling Clinton a friend and warning that reputations could be destroyed by images released without full context.

Trump argued that many high-profile figures encountered Jeffrey Epstein innocently years ago and framed the renewed scrutiny as a political distraction designed to undermine Republican Party achievements. He also acknowledged that photos of himself with Epstein exist, stating that “everybody was friendly back then.”

As online trolling intensifies and new Epstein files fuel speculation, Trump’s unexpected defense of Clinton has reignited debate over power, politics, accountability, and who gets protected when controversy explodes.
