White House Denounces 'Democrat Fabrication' as More Epstein Estate Images Disclosed

Democratic lawmakers have made public a additional set of what they labeled "troubling" photographs from the property of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, depicting among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and ex-UK prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The first release of 19 photographs—some of which have been seen before—along with another 70 released later on Friday account for a tiny fraction of the almost 100,000 images released to the House oversight committee, 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 charges.

Notable Figures in the Photos

Included in the prominent personalities visible in the first release are public figures including film director Woody Allen; Microsoft founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, originator 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 redacted.

Administration Reaction

The White House responded to the release in a statement, alleging Democrats of selectively "hand-picking" the photographs for political purposes and to "seek to establish a false account."

"That partisan falsehood against President Trump has been time and again refuted," a White House spokesperson remarked, insisting that "the Trump administration has achieved more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats ever have by frequently urging transparency, disclosing numerous documents of papers, and calling for more inquiries into Epstein's Democrat friends."

Panel Member Statement

The photos were released without context, but per a California Democrat and senior member of the investigative panel, they raise more questions about Epstein's associations with wealthy individuals.

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

The disclosure of these materials occurs alongside the House panel proceeding with its investigation into the Epstein case.
