🔗 Share this article Administration Decries 'Democrat Fabrication' as Further Jeffrey Epstein Images Disclosed Democratic lawmakers have published a new tranche of what they described as "disturbing" photographs from the property of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and ex-UK prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The initial drop of 19 photographs—a portion of which have been seen before—combined with another 70 issued later on Friday represent a small number of the approximately 100,000 images handed over to the House oversight committee, which is examining the actions and ties of Epstein. The fallen money manager died by apparent suicide in a New York detention cell in 2019 after being charged with sex-trafficking crimes. High-Profile Individuals in the Photos Among the notable figures visible in the opening set are well-known figures such as film director Woody Allen; Microsoft founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, originator of the Virgin empire. Donald Trump appears in three of the initial 19 images. In one, he is photographed with six women, whose faces are blacked out. Administration Statement The White House reacted to the release in a statement, accusing Democrats of selectively "cherry-picking" the images for electoral motives and to "try and create a false account." "This Democratic fabrication against President Trump has been consistently disproven," a presidential representative stated, insisting that "the Trump administration has done more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats ever have by repeatedly calling for openness, disclosing reams of papers, and demanding further investigations into Epstein's Democrat friends." Democratic Lawmaker Comment The photographs were disclosed devoid of explanation, but as stated by a California Democrat and ranking member of the investigative panel, they raise more questions about Epstein's associations with wealthy individuals. "The moment has come to stop this White House concealment and secure justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends," he said in a statement. The release of these materials coincides with the House panel continuing its probe into the affair.
