Administration Denounces 'Democratic Fabrication' as Further Jeffrey Epstein Photos Made Public

House Democrats have made public a new tranche of what they termed "disturbing" images from the estate of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and ex-UK prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The opening batch of 19 images—a portion of which have been previously circulated—plus another 70 released later on Friday represent a minuscule portion of the almost 100,000 images provided to the House oversight committee, which is probing the behavior and associations of Epstein.

The disgraced financier was a victim of an apparent self-inflicted death in a New York prison cell in 2019 after being indicted on sex-trafficking crimes.

Notable Figures in the Photos

Featured among the notable figures shown in the initial batch are well-known figures including movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, creator of the Virgin conglomerate.

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

Administration Statement

The White House responded to the release in a statement, alleging Democrats of selectively "cherry-picking" the pictures for partisan aims and to "try and create a false account."

"This Democratic fabrication against President Trump has been repeatedly debunked," a presidential representative said, asserting that "the current government has achieved more for Epstein's victims than Democrats have at any point by repeatedly calling for transparency, making public reams of papers, and demanding additional probes into Epstein's liberal connections."

Democratic Lawmaker Remarks

The photos were disclosed lacking captions, but according to a Democratic representative from California and ranking member of the investigative panel, they raise more questions about Epstein's associations with the rich and powerful.

"It is time to end this White House concealment and deliver justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his influential associates," he said in a statement.

The publication of these materials occurs alongside the oversight committee pressing on with its investigation into the affair.
