White House Condemns 'Democrat Hoax' as Further Jeffrey Epstein Photos Made Public

Democratic lawmakers have made public a additional set of what they labeled "troubling" images from the property of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, featuring among others 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 issued later on Friday represent a minuscule portion of the nearly 100,000 images released 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 charged with sex-trafficking crimes.

High-Profile Individuals in the Images

Featured among the notable figures shown in the opening set are celebrities featuring movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft creator Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, creator of the Virgin business group.

Donald Trump appears in three of the initial 19 images. In one, he is seen with six women, whose faces are redacted.

White House Response

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

"This Democratic fabrication against President Trump has been time and again refuted," a presidential representative said, insisting that "the Trump administration has accomplished more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats have ever done by consistently demanding openness, disclosing thousands of pages of documents, and calling for more inquiries into Epstein's Democratic associates."

Panel Member Comment

The photos were disclosed devoid of explanation, but as stated by a Democratic representative from California and ranking member of the oversight committee, they raise more questions about Epstein's associations with wealthy individuals.

"The moment has come to end this White House cover-up and bring justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his well-connected allies," he said in a release.

The release of these documents coincides with the House panel continuing its investigation into the affair.
