Administration Denounces 'Democratic Hoax' as More Epstein Estate Photographs Released

House Democrats have released a additional set of what they described as "disturbing" photographs from the property of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and former British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The initial drop of 19 photographs—some of which have been previously circulated—along with another 70 released later on Friday represent a small number of the approximately 100,000 images provided to the House investigative panel, which is looking into the conduct and connections of Epstein.

The disgraced financier died by apparent suicide in a New York prison cell in 2019 after being accused of sex-trafficking crimes.

High-Profile Individuals in the Photos

Among the prominent personalities seen in the first release are well-known figures featuring film director Woody Allen; Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin empire.

Donald Trump is pictured 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 addressed the release in a statement, alleging Democrats of selectively "choosing" the images for partisan aims and to "seek to establish a false storyline."

"That partisan falsehood against President Trump has been consistently disproven," a White House spokesperson remarked, insisting that "the Trump administration has accomplished more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats ever have by repeatedly calling for transparency, disclosing reams of documents, and demanding additional probes into Epstein's Democratic associates."

Panel Member Comment

The photos were published without context, but per a Democratic representative from California and ranking member of the oversight committee, they elicit additional doubts about Epstein's links with the rich and powerful.

"The moment has come to end this White House concealment and secure justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends," he stated in a comment.

The release of these materials coincides with the House panel pressing on with its investigation into the Epstein matter.
