🔗 Share this article White House Decries 'Democratic Hoax' as Additional Jeffrey Epstein Images Made Public House Democrats have published a fresh batch of what they termed "troubling" images from the property of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and ex-UK prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The initial drop of 19 photographs—some of which have been seen before—combined with another 70 issued later on Friday constitute a small number of the almost 100,000 images released to the House investigative panel, which is examining the behavior and associations of Epstein. The disgraced financier died by apparent suicide in a New York jail cell in 2019 after being accused of sex-trafficking charges. Prominent Personalities in the Images Included in the notable figures seen in the opening set are public figures including movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft creator Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin business group. Donald Trump is featured in three of the initial 19 images. In one, he is pictured with six women, whose faces are obscured. Administration Response The White House addressed the release in a official comment, alleging Democrats of selectively "hand-picking" the pictures for partisan aims and to "try and create a false account." "That partisan falsehood against President Trump has been time and again refuted," an administration official remarked, asserting that "the current government has done more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats ever have by repeatedly calling for disclosure, disclosing reams of records, and demanding additional probes into Epstein's liberal connections." Panel Member Remarks The images were published lacking captions, but as stated by a California Democrat and ranking member of the oversight committee, they prompt further inquiries about Epstein's connections to wealthy individuals. "Now is the occasion to end this White House cover-up and secure justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends," he said in a release. The release of these materials occurs alongside the House panel continuing its inquiry into the Epstein case.
