Klobuchar is reported to blow a little smoke about why the Dems sat on Epstein matters.

 The Hill:

Klobuchar defends Democrats for inaction on Epstein under Biden

Many paragraphs, many things argued, zero mention "Bill Clinton" and "Lolita Express flight logs."

Read it and see if it's rhetoric over substance in your view. Clinton may well be one of several Dems involved, but at least for him, if nobody else, Biden's people did not see a need to cast shame that direction. A quote from the story's later paragraphs:

Klobuchar emphasized that Democrats have not been as focused on the issue as Republicans have been.

“Blaming Democrats for this, to me, I’m sorry. This is- the people that have been fomenting this are right-wing influencers, members of Congress,” she said.

“People have a reason that they want to know what’s in there. They believe the President when he said there’s stuff in there that people should see. Wall Street Journal. These are not bastions of liberalism or wild progressives that have come out and said the public has a right to know what is in these documents,” she continued.

Trump, in a Truth Social post on Friday, asked why the Democrats did not release the files linked to the disgraced financier when they controlled the Senate and White House.

“If there was a ‘smoking gun’ on Epstein, why didn’t the Dems, who controlled the ‘files’ for four years, and had [former Attorney General Merrick] Garland and [ex-prosecutor Maureen] Comey in charge, use it,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He added, “BECAUSE THEY HAD NOTHING!!!”

Notice how Trump also glides and slides over Bill Clinton as an answer to his rhetorical question.

Klobuchar and Trump both having cause to bend the angles rather than squaring truths. 

Both, politicians. Both DC veterans, Amy more than Donald, having been there longer.

UPDATE: Neither of the two apologists - politicians mention Ehud Barak either.
