White House Condemns 'Democratic Hoax' as Additional Jeffrey Epstein Photos Made Public

House Democrats have published a new tranche of what they described as "alarming" pictures from the property of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and ex-UK prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The first release of 19 photographs—a portion of which have been seen before—plus another 70 released later on Friday account for a minuscule portion of the approximately 100,000 images released to the House investigative panel, which is looking into the conduct and connections of Epstein.

The disgraced financier was a victim of apparent suicide in a New York jail cell in 2019 after being accused of sex-trafficking offenses.

Notable Figures in the Images

Featured among the prominent personalities visible in the initial batch are well-known figures such as film director Woody Allen; Microsoft founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, founder 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 blacked out.

White House Response

The White House responded to the release in a statement, charging Democrats of selectively "choosing" the pictures for partisan aims and to "try and create a false storyline."

"This Democratic fabrication against President Trump has been consistently disproven," a White House spokesperson stated, insisting that "the current government has achieved more for Epstein's victims than Democrats have at any point by repeatedly calling for disclosure, releasing numerous documents of papers, and demanding additional probes into Epstein's liberal connections."

Panel Member Statement

The photographs were disclosed without context, but as stated by a California Democrat and senior member of the oversight committee, they raise more questions about Epstein's connections to wealthy individuals.

"It is time to halt this White House concealment and secure justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends," he declared in a release.

The publication of these documents coincides with the House panel proceeding with its inquiry into the affair.
