White House Condemns 'Democrat Hoax' as Additional Jeffrey Epstein Images Made Public

Democratic lawmakers have released a new tranche of what they labeled "troubling" pictures from the estate of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, depicting among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and ex-UK prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The opening batch of 19 photographs—some of which have been previously circulated—along with another 70 issued later on Friday constitute a minuscule portion of the approximately 100,000 images handed over 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 detention cell in 2019 after being charged with sex-trafficking offenses.

Prominent Personalities in the Images

Featured among the prominent personalities visible in the opening set are well-known figures such as film director Woody Allen; Microsoft creator Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, originator of the Virgin empire.

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

White House Reaction

The White House responded to the release in a official comment, accusing Democrats of selectively "choosing" the images for partisan aims and to "seek to establish a false storyline."

"The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been time and again refuted," an administration official said, insisting that "the current government has accomplished more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats have ever done by repeatedly calling for openness, making public numerous documents of papers, and urging more inquiries into Epstein's liberal connections."

Congressional Democrat Remarks

The images were published without context, but according to a Democratic representative from California and senior member of the oversight committee, they raise more questions about Epstein's connections to affluent people.

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

The release of these documents occurs alongside the oversight committee continuing its investigation into the Epstein matter.
