Administration Decries 'Democratic Fabrication' as Additional Jeffrey Epstein Photographs Released

House Democrats have published a additional set of what they labeled "alarming" pictures from the estate of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, featuring notably Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and ex-UK prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The initial drop of 19 images—some of which have been seen before—along with another 70 released later on Friday represent a small number of the nearly 100,000 images released to the House investigative panel, which is probing the actions and ties of Epstein.

The disgraced financier was a victim of an apparent self-inflicted death in a New York detention cell in 2019 after being charged with sex-trafficking crimes.

Prominent Personalities in the Images

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, originator of the Virgin empire.

Donald Trump is featured in three of the first nineteen images. In one, he is photographed with six women, whose faces are obscured.

White House Reaction

The White House addressed the release in a statement, charging Democrats of selectively "cherry-picking" the pictures for partisan aims and to "try and create a false account."

"This Democratic fabrication against President Trump has been repeatedly debunked," a White House spokesperson said, asserting that "the current government has achieved more for Epstein's victims than Democrats have ever done by repeatedly calling for disclosure, disclosing reams of documents, and demanding more inquiries into Epstein's Democrat friends."

Congressional Democrat Statement

The photographs were published devoid of explanation, but per a California Democrat and senior member of the oversight committee, they raise more questions about Epstein's links with affluent people.

"Now is the occasion to end this White House obfuscation and deliver justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his well-connected allies," he said in a statement.

The publication of these images comes as the oversight committee proceeding with its probe into the Epstein case.
