White House Denounces 'Democratic Fabrication' as More Jeffrey Epstein Images Released

House Democrats have made public a fresh batch of what they described as "alarming" pictures from the property of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, featuring among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and ex-UK prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The opening batch of 19 photographs—some of which have been seen before—along with another 70 released later on Friday account for a small number of the nearly 100,000 images provided to the House oversight committee, which is probing the conduct and connections of Epstein.

The shamed investor died by apparent suicide in a New York detention cell in 2019 after being accused of sex-trafficking crimes.

Notable Figures in the Photos

Featured among the notable figures shown in the first release are well-known figures featuring film director Woody Allen; Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, creator 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.

Administration Reaction

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

"That partisan falsehood against President Trump has been consistently disproven," a presidential representative remarked, maintaining that "the current government has accomplished more for Epstein's victims than Democrats have ever done by frequently urging disclosure, making public reams of records, and demanding further investigations into Epstein's Democrat friends."

Panel Member Statement

The images were disclosed lacking captions, but according to a California Democrat and ranking member of the oversight committee, they raise more questions about Epstein's connections to the rich and powerful.

"It is time to halt this White House obfuscation and secure justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his influential associates," he said in a comment.

The release of these documents coincides with the oversight committee continuing its probe into the affair.
