White House Denounces 'Democrat Hoax' as Additional Jeffrey Epstein Photos Made Public

Democratic lawmakers have published a new tranche of what they labeled "troubling" images from the property of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, depicting among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and former British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The initial drop of 19 images—some of which have been previously circulated—along with another 70 issued later on Friday account for a small number of the nearly 100,000 images released to the House oversight committee, which is probing the actions and ties of Epstein.

The fallen money manager died by an apparent self-inflicted death in a New York prison cell in 2019 after being charged with sex-trafficking offenses.

High-Profile Individuals in the Photos

Featured among the prominent personalities seen in the opening set are well-known figures including film director Woody Allen; Microsoft creator Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, creator of the Virgin business group.

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

White House Reaction

The White House addressed the release in a official comment, charging Democrats of selectively "cherry-picking" the pictures for partisan aims and to "attempt to fabricate a false narrative."

"This Democratic fabrication against President Trump has been repeatedly debunked," an administration official remarked, insisting that "the current government has done more for Epstein's victims than Democrats ever have by repeatedly calling for disclosure, releasing thousands of pages of documents, and calling for additional probes into Epstein's liberal connections."

Congressional Democrat Statement

The photos were published without context, but as stated by a California Democrat and senior member of the oversight committee, they raise more questions about Epstein's associations with the rich and powerful.

"Now is the occasion to stop this White House cover-up and secure justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his influential associates," he said in a release.

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