🔗 Share this article Administration Denounces 'Democrat Hoax' as Additional Epstein Estate Photos Released Democratic lawmakers have published a new tranche of what they termed "troubling" images from the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and ex-UK prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The opening batch of 19 photographs—a portion of which have been seen before—plus another 70 released later on Friday account for a tiny fraction of the almost 100,000 images handed over to the House investigative panel, which is examining the actions and ties of Epstein. The shamed investor was a victim of an apparent self-inflicted death in a New York detention cell in 2019 after being indicted on sex-trafficking charges. Prominent Personalities in the Images Among the prominent personalities visible in the opening set are well-known figures featuring movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin empire. Donald Trump appears in three of the first nineteen images. In one, he is photographed with six women, whose faces are redacted. White House Statement The White House reacted to the release in a statement, alleging Democrats of selectively "choosing" the pictures for partisan aims and to "attempt to fabricate a false account." "That partisan falsehood against President Trump has been consistently disproven," a presidential representative said, maintaining that "this presidency has done more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats ever have by consistently demanding openness, making public thousands of pages of papers, and calling for additional probes into Epstein's Democrat friends." Democratic Lawmaker Comment The images were published without context, but as stated by a Democratic representative from California and ranking member of the investigative panel, they raise more questions about Epstein's connections to the rich and powerful. "Now is the occasion to end this White House obfuscation and secure justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his influential associates," he stated in a statement. The release of these materials coincides with the House panel proceeding with its probe into the affair.
