Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Saturday that “very troubling and really horrific information” is being revealed in the Jeffrey Epstein files released by the Justice Department.

Asked by a reporter at the Munich Security Conference how the alleged conduct of Western leaders in the files reflects on Western values, Clinton said, “It’s horrifying, and we’re hoping that, you know, there will be continued release every day that passes.”

The former secretary of state’s comments come as Europe has been roiled by the Epstein saga, with royals and government officials from multiple countries battling scandals.

Clinton noted, however, that just because someone’s name is in the files, doesn’t mean they’ve committed a crime.

She said the information “needs to be totally transparent” so people can “not only see what is in them, but also, if appropriate, hold people accountable.”

Some context: Former President Bill Clinton is among numerous high-profile names included in the Epstein files. Bill and Hillary Clinton are set to appear for depositions in the US House’s Epstein probe later this month, after months of back-and-forth.

Bill Clinton has repeatedly denied wrongdoing related to the late convicted sex offender. A spokesperson for Clinton has repeatedly said the former president cut ties with Epstein before the financier was charged with soliciting prostitution in 2006 and didn’t know about his crimes.
