🔗 Share this article White House Condemns 'Democratic Hoax' as Further Jeffrey Epstein Photos Released Democratic lawmakers 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 photographs—a portion of which have been seen before—plus another 70 unveiled later on Friday represent a minuscule portion of the nearly 100,000 images handed over to the House oversight committee, which is examining the actions and ties of Epstein. The shamed investor was a victim of apparent suicide in a New York jail cell in 2019 after being charged with sex-trafficking offenses. High-Profile Individuals in the Images Featured among the high-profile individuals visible in the first release are public figures such as movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, originator of the Virgin empire. Donald Trump is pictured in three of the initial 19 images. In one, he is photographed with six women, whose faces are blacked out. Administration Statement The White House responded to the release in a statement, charging Democrats of purposefully "choosing" the pictures for partisan aims and to "try and create a false account." "The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been time and again refuted," a White House spokesperson remarked, insisting that "this presidency has done more for Epstein's victims than Democrats ever have by consistently demanding disclosure, disclosing reams of records, and urging additional probes into Epstein's Democratic associates." Congressional Democrat Comment The photos were published lacking captions, but according to a Democratic representative from California and senior member of the investigative panel, they raise more questions about Epstein's links with affluent people. "It is time to end this White House obfuscation and deliver justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his well-connected allies," he said in a comment. The disclosure of these images coincides with the oversight committee continuing its probe into the affair.
