Administration Decries 'Democratic Hoax' as More Jeffrey Epstein Photos Disclosed

Democratic lawmakers have released a additional set of what they described as "disturbing" images from the property of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including notably Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and ex-UK prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The opening batch of 19 images—a portion of which have been previously circulated—plus another 70 unveiled later on Friday represent a tiny fraction of the nearly 100,000 images handed over to the House investigative panel, which is probing the actions and ties of Epstein.

The fallen money manager was a victim of an apparent self-inflicted death in a New York prison cell in 2019 after being accused of sex-trafficking charges.

Notable Figures in the Images

Among the prominent personalities seen in the initial batch are celebrities featuring movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, creator of the Virgin conglomerate.

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

White House Reaction

The White House responded to the release in a official comment, alleging Democrats of selectively "hand-picking" the pictures for political purposes and to "try and create a false narrative."

"The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been repeatedly debunked," an administration official stated, insisting that "the Trump administration has accomplished more for Epstein's victims than Democrats have at any point by repeatedly calling for disclosure, releasing numerous documents of records, and urging further investigations into Epstein's Democratic associates."

Panel Member Remarks

The photos were published lacking captions, but according to a California Democrat and senior member of the oversight committee, they elicit additional doubts about Epstein's connections to the rich and powerful.

"The moment has come to stop this White House obfuscation and secure justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his well-connected allies," he stated in a release.

The disclosure of these images comes as the oversight committee continuing its probe into the Epstein case.
