White House Denounces 'Democrat Fabrication' as Additional Jeffrey Epstein Images Made Public

Democratic lawmakers have published a additional set of what they described as "troubling" pictures from the property of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and former British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The first release of 19 photographs—some of which have been previously circulated—along with another 70 unveiled later on Friday constitute a tiny fraction of the approximately 100,000 images handed over to the House investigative panel, which is looking into the conduct and connections of Epstein.

The disgraced financier died by apparent suicide in a New York prison cell in 2019 after being charged with sex-trafficking charges.

High-Profile Individuals in the Photos

Among the notable figures seen in the initial batch are well-known figures featuring film director Woody Allen; Microsoft creator Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin empire.

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

White House Statement

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

"This Democratic fabrication against President Trump has been consistently disproven," a White House spokesperson said, asserting that "this presidency has done more for Epstein's victims than Democrats have ever done by frequently urging disclosure, disclosing thousands of pages of documents, and demanding additional probes into Epstein's liberal connections."

Democratic Lawmaker Statement

The photos were published devoid of explanation, but according to a California Democrat and senior member of the oversight committee, they prompt further inquiries about Epstein's associations with wealthy individuals.

"It is time to end this White House obfuscation and secure justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends," he stated in a release.

The release of these materials comes as the oversight committee pressing on with its investigation into the affair.
