🔗 Share this article White House Condemns 'Democratic Fabrication' as Additional Epstein Estate Photographs Disclosed House Democrats have made public a new tranche of what they described as "troubling" images from the property of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, featuring among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and former British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The initial drop of 19 images—a portion of which have been seen before—plus another 70 issued later on Friday account for a tiny fraction of the almost 100,000 images provided to the House investigative panel, which is looking into the behavior and associations of Epstein. The fallen money manager died by an apparent self-inflicted death in a New York jail cell in 2019 after being indicted on sex-trafficking charges. Notable Figures in the Images Among the prominent personalities seen in the first release are celebrities such as movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, originator of the Virgin empire. 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 Statement The White House addressed the release in a statement, accusing Democrats of purposefully "hand-picking" the pictures for political purposes and to "attempt to fabricate a false storyline." "The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been time and again refuted," an administration official stated, asserting that "the Trump administration has accomplished more for Epstein's victims than Democrats ever have by consistently demanding transparency, making public reams of papers, and calling for additional probes into Epstein's Democratic associates." Democratic Lawmaker Comment The photos were published lacking captions, but as stated by a California Democrat and ranking member of the investigative panel, they raise more questions about Epstein's connections to wealthy individuals. "It is time to halt this White House concealment and secure justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his well-connected allies," he declared in a comment. The disclosure of these images coincides with the oversight committee continuing its investigation into the affair.
