White House Condemns 'Democratic Hoax' as More Epstein Estate Photographs Released

Democratic lawmakers have published a additional set of what they described as "alarming" images from the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, depicting among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and former British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The initial drop of 19 images—some of which have been previously circulated—combined with another 70 unveiled later on Friday account for a minuscule portion of the nearly 100,000 images handed over to the House investigative panel, which is looking into the actions and ties of Epstein.

The shamed investor 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 Photos

Included in the notable figures visible in the initial batch are celebrities including film director Woody Allen; Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin business group.

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

Administration Reaction

The White House reacted to the release in a official comment, alleging Democrats of purposefully "hand-picking" the photographs for political purposes and to "attempt to fabricate a false account."

"This Democratic fabrication against President Trump has been consistently disproven," a presidential representative remarked, insisting that "the Trump administration has done more for Epstein's victims than Democrats have ever done by frequently urging disclosure, releasing numerous documents of records, and calling for further investigations into Epstein's liberal connections."

Panel Member Statement

The photos were released lacking captions, but according to a Democratic representative from California and ranking member of the oversight committee, they prompt further inquiries about Epstein's connections to wealthy individuals.

"It is time to end this White House obfuscation and secure justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his well-connected allies," he stated in a comment.

The release of these documents comes as the House panel pressing on with its investigation into the Epstein case.
