White House Condemns 'Democratic Hoax' as Additional Epstein Estate Photos Released

Democratic lawmakers have made public a new tranche of what they described as "disturbing" pictures from the property of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including notably Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and ex-UK prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The opening batch of 19 images—a portion of which have been previously circulated—plus another 70 released later on Friday represent a small number of the almost 100,000 images released to the House investigative panel, which is probing the conduct and connections of Epstein.

The fallen money manager died by apparent suicide in a New York detention cell in 2019 after being indicted on sex-trafficking charges.

Prominent Personalities in the Images

Featured among the prominent personalities visible in the opening set are celebrities featuring movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft creator Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, originator of the Virgin empire.

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

Administration Statement

The White House responded to the release in a statement, alleging Democrats of selectively "hand-picking" the pictures for partisan aims and to "seek to establish a false storyline."

"The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been consistently disproven," a presidential representative remarked, asserting that "the Trump administration has achieved more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats have ever done by consistently demanding openness, making public thousands of pages of papers, and urging more inquiries into Epstein's Democrat friends."

Congressional Democrat Remarks

The photographs were disclosed devoid of explanation, but per a Democratic representative from California and ranking member of the oversight committee, they prompt further inquiries about Epstein's connections to affluent people.

"The moment has come to halt this White House concealment and deliver justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his influential associates," he stated in a release.

The disclosure of these images occurs alongside the House panel proceeding with its inquiry into the Epstein matter.
