Administration Denounces 'Democratic Hoax' as Additional Jeffrey Epstein Photographs Disclosed

House Democrats have released a new tranche of what they labeled "disturbing" pictures from the estate of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and former British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The first release of 19 photographs—some of which have been previously circulated—along with another 70 unveiled later on Friday account for a minuscule portion of the approximately 100,000 images released to the House investigative panel, which is looking into the actions and ties of Epstein.

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

High-Profile Individuals in the Photos

Among the prominent personalities visible in the initial batch are celebrities such as movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, creator of the Virgin business group.

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

Administration Reaction

The White House responded to the release in a statement, charging Democrats of selectively "choosing" the pictures for political purposes and to "attempt to fabricate a false narrative."

"That partisan falsehood against President Trump has been repeatedly debunked," a presidential representative stated, insisting that "this presidency has achieved more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats ever have by repeatedly calling for openness, releasing numerous documents of records, and calling for additional probes into Epstein's liberal connections."

Democratic Lawmaker Statement

The images were released devoid of explanation, but as stated by a Democratic representative from California and senior member of the investigative panel, they prompt further inquiries about Epstein's connections to affluent people.

"The moment has come to halt this White House concealment and bring justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends," he declared in a statement.

The publication of these documents comes as the House panel proceeding with its probe into the Epstein matter.
