White House Condemns 'Democratic Hoax' as More Jeffrey Epstein Photographs Made Public
Democratic lawmakers have made public a additional set of what they described as "troubling" photographs from the property of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, featuring notably Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and former British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The initial drop of 19 images—some of which have been previously circulated—plus another 70 released later on Friday account for a small number of the nearly 100,000 images released to the House oversight committee, which is probing the conduct and connections of Epstein.
The shamed investor died by apparent suicide in a New York detention cell in 2019 after being charged with sex-trafficking charges.
Prominent Personalities in the Photos
Among the prominent personalities shown in the initial batch are celebrities including film director Woody Allen; Microsoft creator Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, creator of the Virgin business group.
Donald Trump is pictured in three of the first nineteen images. In one, he is pictured with six women, whose faces are obscured.
White House Response
The White House reacted to the release in a official comment, charging Democrats of selectively "cherry-picking" the photographs for partisan aims and to "attempt to fabricate a false storyline."
"This Democratic fabrication against President Trump has been consistently disproven," a White House spokesperson remarked, asserting that "this presidency has achieved more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats have at any point by frequently urging openness, making public numerous documents of documents, and calling for further investigations into Epstein's Democrat friends."
Congressional Democrat Comment
The photos were disclosed lacking captions, but per a California Democrat and senior member of the investigative panel, they elicit additional doubts about Epstein's associations with the rich and powerful.
"It is time to end this White House cover-up and deliver justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his well-connected allies," he declared in a comment.
The disclosure of these documents comes as the oversight committee continuing its probe into the Epstein matter.
