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

Democratic lawmakers have released a new tranche of what they labeled "disturbing" images from the estate of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including 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 unveiled later on Friday constitute a minuscule portion of the approximately 100,000 images provided to the House investigative panel, which is looking into the actions and ties of Epstein.

The fallen money manager was a victim of apparent suicide in a New York jail cell in 2019 after being accused of sex-trafficking offenses.

Notable Figures in the Photos

Included in the prominent personalities seen in the opening set are celebrities such as film director Woody Allen; Microsoft founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin empire.

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

Administration Statement

The White House responded to the release in a official comment, alleging Democrats of selectively "choosing" the images for electoral motives and to "attempt to fabricate a false storyline."

"This Democratic fabrication against President Trump has been time and again refuted," a White House spokesperson said, insisting that "the Trump administration has accomplished more for Epstein's victims than Democrats have ever done by consistently demanding disclosure, disclosing reams of papers, and urging more inquiries into Epstein's Democratic associates."

Panel Member Comment

The photographs were disclosed without context, but per a California Democrat and ranking member of the investigative panel, they elicit additional doubts about Epstein's links with wealthy individuals.

"The moment has come to halt this White House cover-up and deliver justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his influential associates," he declared in a comment.

The publication of these images comes as the oversight committee continuing its investigation into the Epstein case.
