White House Denounces 'Democratic Hoax' as Additional Epstein Estate Photos Made Public

Democratic lawmakers have published a fresh batch of what they termed "disturbing" photographs from the estate 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 seen before—plus another 70 unveiled later on Friday represent a tiny fraction of the nearly 100,000 images released to the House investigative panel, which is looking into the conduct and connections of Epstein.

The shamed investor was a victim of an apparent self-inflicted death in a New York jail cell in 2019 after being indicted on sex-trafficking offenses.

Prominent Personalities in the Images

Featured among the high-profile individuals visible in the initial batch are celebrities such as movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, creator of the Virgin conglomerate.

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

White House Statement

The White House reacted to the release in a official comment, accusing Democrats of selectively "cherry-picking" the pictures for partisan aims and to "attempt to fabricate a false storyline."

"The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been repeatedly debunked," an administration official remarked, asserting that "the current government has achieved more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats have ever done by consistently demanding transparency, making public numerous documents of papers, and urging additional probes into Epstein's Democratic associates."

Democratic Lawmaker Remarks

The photos were published devoid of explanation, but per a Democratic representative from California and senior member of the investigative panel, they elicit additional doubts about Epstein's associations with wealthy individuals.

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

The publication of these images comes as the oversight committee pressing on with its inquiry into the Epstein case.
