🔗 Share this article Administration Decries 'Democratic Fabrication' as Further Jeffrey Epstein Photographs Released Democratic lawmakers have made public a additional set of what they described as "alarming" photographs from the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, featuring notably Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and former British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The opening batch of 19 photographs—some of which have been seen before—plus another 70 released later on Friday account for a tiny fraction of the nearly 100,000 images provided to the House investigative panel, which is probing the behavior and associations of Epstein. The shamed investor was a victim of apparent suicide in a New York detention cell in 2019 after being charged with sex-trafficking crimes. High-Profile Individuals in the Images Among the prominent personalities visible in the first release are public figures featuring movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft creator Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin conglomerate. Donald Trump appears in three of the first nineteen images. In one, he is seen with six women, whose faces are blacked out. White House Reaction The White House reacted to the release in a official comment, alleging Democrats of purposefully "hand-picking" the images for electoral motives and to "try and create a false storyline." "This Democratic fabrication against President Trump has been time and again refuted," a presidential representative stated, asserting that "the current government has achieved more for Epstein's victims than Democrats ever have by repeatedly calling for transparency, disclosing thousands of pages of documents, and urging further investigations into Epstein's liberal connections." Democratic Lawmaker Statement The photos were released without context, but per a California Democrat and ranking member of the investigative panel, they prompt further inquiries about Epstein's connections to wealthy individuals. "The moment has come to halt this White House obfuscation and bring justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends," he declared in a statement. The publication of these documents occurs alongside the oversight committee continuing its probe into the Epstein matter.
