White House Denounces 'Democrat Hoax' as More Jeffrey Epstein Images Made Public

House Democrats have released a fresh batch of what they described as "troubling" pictures from the estate of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, featuring notably Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and former British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The opening batch of 19 images—some of which have been seen before—plus another 70 released later on Friday account for a tiny fraction of the approximately 100,000 images provided to the House oversight committee, which is probing the actions and ties 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.

Notable Figures in the Images

Among the high-profile individuals seen in the initial batch are celebrities including movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, originator of the Virgin conglomerate.

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

Administration Reaction

The White House addressed the release in a statement, accusing Democrats of purposefully "cherry-picking" the photographs for political purposes and to "attempt to fabricate a false account."

"The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been consistently disproven," an administration official stated, maintaining that "this presidency has achieved more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats ever have by repeatedly calling for transparency, disclosing numerous documents of documents, and calling for additional probes into Epstein's Democrat friends."

Congressional Democrat Statement

The photos were released without context, but according to a California Democrat and ranking member of the investigative panel, they elicit additional doubts about Epstein's connections to the rich and powerful.

"It is time to end this White House concealment and deliver justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his influential associates," he declared in a comment.

The disclosure of these images occurs alongside the oversight committee proceeding with its probe into the Epstein case.
