Administration Condemns 'Democrat Hoax' as Additional Jeffrey Epstein Images Made Public

Democratic lawmakers have published a fresh batch of what they termed "disturbing" images from the estate of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, featuring among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and ex-UK prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The first release of 19 images—some of which have been seen before—combined with another 70 issued later on Friday represent a tiny fraction of the almost 100,000 images handed over to the House investigative panel, which is probing the behavior and associations of Epstein.

The disgraced financier was a victim of apparent suicide in a New York prison cell in 2019 after being charged with sex-trafficking crimes.

Prominent Personalities in the Photos

Among the notable figures visible in the initial batch are public figures featuring movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft creator Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, creator of the Virgin empire.

Donald Trump is featured in three of the initial 19 images. In one, he is photographed with six women, whose faces are obscured.

White House Response

The White House addressed the release in a statement, charging Democrats of purposefully "cherry-picking" the photographs for partisan aims and to "try and create a false account."

"That partisan falsehood against President Trump has been consistently disproven," a White House spokesperson said, maintaining that "the current government has accomplished more for Epstein's victims than Democrats have ever done by repeatedly calling for disclosure, disclosing reams of papers, and calling for further investigations into Epstein's liberal connections."

Democratic Lawmaker Statement

The photos were released devoid of explanation, but as stated by a Democratic representative from California and senior member of the investigative panel, they prompt further inquiries about Epstein's connections to wealthy individuals.

"It is time to end this White House concealment and secure justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends," he stated in a comment.

The release of these documents coincides with the oversight committee proceeding with its inquiry into the Epstein case.
