White House Decries 'Democratic Hoax' as More Jeffrey Epstein Photos Disclosed

House Democrats have published a new tranche of what they described as "disturbing" 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 photographs—some of which have been previously circulated—plus another 70 unveiled later on Friday account for a tiny fraction of the approximately 100,000 images provided to the House oversight committee, which is probing the conduct and connections of Epstein.

The fallen money manager was a victim of an apparent self-inflicted death in a New York detention cell in 2019 after being indicted on sex-trafficking crimes.

Prominent Personalities in the Images

Featured among the notable figures seen in the opening set are celebrities including movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, creator of the Virgin conglomerate.

Donald Trump is pictured in three of the initial 19 images. In one, he is seen with six women, whose faces are obscured.

White House Response

The White House reacted to the release in a official comment, accusing Democrats of purposefully "hand-picking" the pictures for electoral motives and to "attempt to fabricate a false narrative."

"This Democratic fabrication against President Trump has been consistently disproven," an administration official said, maintaining that "the Trump administration has accomplished more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats have at any point by consistently demanding openness, releasing numerous documents of documents, and calling for further investigations into Epstein's liberal connections."

Congressional Democrat Remarks

The photographs were released without context, but per a Democratic representative from California and senior member of the oversight committee, they raise more questions about Epstein's links with affluent people.

"The moment has come to stop this White House cover-up and bring justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his well-connected allies," he declared in a release.

The release of these materials coincides with the House panel proceeding with its inquiry into the Epstein matter.
