White House Denounces 'Democratic Hoax' as Further Jeffrey Epstein Photos Disclosed

House Democrats have published a additional set of what they described as "disturbing" photographs from the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including notably Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and former British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The opening batch of 19 photographs—some of which have been previously circulated—combined with another 70 unveiled later on Friday account for a small number of the approximately 100,000 images provided to the House investigative panel, which is probing the actions and ties of Epstein.

The disgraced financier died by apparent suicide in a New York prison cell in 2019 after being indicted on sex-trafficking crimes.

Notable Figures in the Images

Featured among the high-profile individuals seen in the opening set are celebrities including movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft creator Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, creator of the Virgin conglomerate.

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

Administration Response

The White House responded to the release in a statement, accusing Democrats of selectively "cherry-picking" the photographs for partisan aims and to "try and create a false account."

"The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been time and again refuted," an administration official said, insisting that "this presidency has achieved more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats ever have by repeatedly calling for openness, releasing thousands of pages of documents, and urging additional probes into Epstein's Democratic associates."

Panel Member Remarks

The images were published lacking captions, but per a Democratic representative from California and senior member of the oversight committee, they prompt further inquiries about Epstein's links with wealthy individuals.

"Now is the occasion to halt this White House concealment and secure justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his well-connected allies," he stated in a statement.

The disclosure of these documents occurs alongside the House panel continuing its probe into the affair.
