🔗 Share this article Administration Decries 'Democrat Hoax' as Additional Jeffrey Epstein Photographs Made Public Democratic lawmakers have published a new tranche of what they described as "alarming" pictures from the property of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including notably Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and ex-UK prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The initial drop of 19 images—some of which have been previously circulated—along with another 70 unveiled later on Friday constitute a small number of the almost 100,000 images released to the House investigative panel, which is probing the behavior and associations of Epstein. The fallen money manager was a victim of an apparent self-inflicted death in a New York jail cell in 2019 after being accused of sex-trafficking offenses. High-Profile Individuals in the Photos Among the notable figures shown in the initial batch are well-known figures including movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, originator of the Virgin business group. Donald Trump is featured in three of the first nineteen images. In one, he is seen with six women, whose faces are redacted. Administration Response The White House addressed the release in a statement, alleging Democrats of selectively "choosing" the photographs for partisan aims and to "seek to establish a false narrative." "That partisan falsehood against President Trump has been time and again refuted," an administration official stated, asserting that "the current government has accomplished more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats have at any point by consistently demanding openness, making public thousands of pages of records, and urging further investigations into Epstein's Democratic associates." Democratic Lawmaker Remarks The images were disclosed lacking captions, but per a California Democrat and ranking member of the investigative panel, they elicit additional doubts about Epstein's connections to the rich and powerful. "Now is the occasion to stop this White House obfuscation and deliver justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his well-connected allies," he stated in a comment. The publication of these materials comes as the House panel continuing its inquiry into the affair.
