🔗 Share this article Administration Condemns 'Democrat Hoax' as More Jeffrey Epstein Photographs Disclosed House Democrats have published a new tranche of what they described as "troubling" photographs from the property of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, depicting among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and former British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The first release of 19 photographs—some of which have been previously circulated—combined with another 70 released later on Friday represent a minuscule portion of the nearly 100,000 images provided to the House oversight committee, which is probing the behavior and associations of Epstein. The fallen money manager died by apparent suicide in a New York jail cell in 2019 after being charged with sex-trafficking charges. Notable Figures in the Images Included in the prominent personalities visible in the opening set are celebrities such as movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, creator of the Virgin conglomerate. Donald Trump is featured in three of the first nineteen images. In one, he is pictured with six women, whose faces are obscured. Administration Reaction The White House reacted to the release in a statement, alleging Democrats of purposefully "hand-picking" the images for partisan aims and to "try and create a false narrative." "That partisan falsehood against President Trump has been consistently disproven," a presidential representative stated, asserting that "the current government has done more for Epstein's victims than Democrats have ever done by repeatedly calling for openness, releasing numerous documents of records, and calling for more inquiries into Epstein's Democratic associates." Panel Member Statement The images were published without context, but according to a Democratic representative from California and ranking member of the investigative panel, they prompt further inquiries about Epstein's links with the rich and powerful. "It is time to end this White House concealment and bring justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his influential associates," he said in a release. The release of these materials occurs alongside the House panel pressing on with its inquiry into the Epstein matter.
