"The Epstein Files Transparency Act imposes a clear legal duty on the U.S. Department of Justice to produce the full and complete record the public demands and deserves," Ureña continued.
"However, what the Department of Justice has released so far, and the manner in which it did so, makes one thing clear: someone or something is being protected. We do not know whom, what or why. But we do know this: We need no such protection."
Fox News Digital reached out to the DOJ Monday afternoon regarding the new statement from Ureña.
The Friday Epstein drop included a handful of photos of Clinton, including him swimming shirtless, posing with music icons such as Michael Jackson, and other redacted photos showing the former president with unidentifiable individuals.
When asked about the photos when they initially dropped, Ureña directed Fox Digital to a statement he posted to X.
"The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton," he wrote Friday. "This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they’ll try and hide forever. So they can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be. Even Susie Wiles said Donald Trump was wrong about Bill Clinton."
Ureña said there are "two types of people" involved in the Epstein scandal: those who did not know of Epstein's crimes and cut him out of their lives upon his conviction and a second group of people who "continued relationships with him after" his crimes came to light.
"We’re in the first. No amount of stalling by people in the second group will change that," the Clinton spokesman continued. "Everyone, especially MAGA, expects answers, not scapegoats."

MAGA supporters have claimed that Epstein kept an alleged "client list" of high-profile names that he used to blackmail individuals in a web of sex trafficking and crimes. The Department of Justice announced over the summer, however, that there was "no incriminating ‘client list'" of prominent individuals involved in an alleged sex trafficking scheme, nor that Epstein blackmailed anyone on such list.

The DOJ previously reported that the evidence shows Epstein did in fact commit suicide, which contradicted speculation on social media that Epstein was murdered in his jail cell in 2019, which set off criticisms among Trump supporters to release further documents on the case, with Democrats joining those calls while invoking questions about Trump's relationship with Epstein.

Trump has slammed the calls as part of a "Democrat hoax" while defending that he "threw him out" of Mar-a-Lago after he "stole" employees from the private club in his falling out with Epstein in the 2000s.
Fox News Digital reached out the Department of Justice Monday afternoon regarding Urena's latest statement, but did not immediately receive a reply.
