Administration Condemns 'Democrat Hoax' as Further Jeffrey Epstein Photos Made Public

House Democrats have released a new tranche of what they described as "troubling" pictures from the estate 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 images—some of which have been seen before—along with another 70 issued later on Friday constitute a tiny fraction of the almost 100,000 images handed over to the House investigative panel, which is examining the conduct and connections of Epstein.

The shamed investor died by an apparent self-inflicted death in a New York prison cell in 2019 after being charged with sex-trafficking charges.

High-Profile Individuals in the Photos

Included in the prominent personalities shown in the opening set are celebrities featuring movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin empire.

Donald Trump appears in three of the first nineteen images. In one, he is seen with six women, whose faces are blacked out.

White House Reaction

The White House responded to the release in a official comment, alleging Democrats of purposefully "hand-picking" the photographs for political purposes and to "try and create a false narrative."

"The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been consistently disproven," a White House spokesperson remarked, maintaining that "this presidency has achieved more for Epstein's victims than Democrats have at any point by repeatedly calling for transparency, releasing reams of papers, and calling for additional probes into Epstein's Democrat friends."

Panel Member Remarks

The images were disclosed without context, but according to a California Democrat and ranking member of the investigative panel, they prompt further inquiries about Epstein's associations with wealthy individuals.

"It is time to stop this White House concealment and deliver justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his well-connected allies," he declared in a release.

The publication of these images coincides with the oversight committee proceeding with its investigation into the Epstein matter.
