White House Denounces 'Democratic Hoax' as More Jeffrey Epstein Images Released

Democratic lawmakers have made public a additional set of what they described as "alarming" images from the property of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including among others 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—along with another 70 issued later on Friday represent a minuscule portion of the almost 100,000 images handed over to the House investigative panel, which is probing the actions and ties of Epstein.

The shamed investor was a victim of apparent suicide in a New York detention cell in 2019 after being charged with sex-trafficking offenses.

High-Profile Individuals in the Photos

Among the prominent personalities seen in the first release are well-known figures featuring movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, originator of the Virgin business group.

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

Administration Reaction

The White House responded to the release in a statement, charging Democrats of purposefully "hand-picking" the pictures for political purposes and to "seek to establish a false storyline."

"That partisan falsehood against President Trump has been time and again refuted," a White House spokesperson remarked, maintaining that "the Trump administration has done more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats have at any point by repeatedly calling for openness, releasing numerous documents of records, and urging additional probes into Epstein's liberal connections."

Panel Member Remarks

The photos were published devoid of explanation, but per a Democratic representative from California and ranking member of the investigative panel, they raise more questions about Epstein's links with the rich and powerful.

"The moment has come to end this White House concealment and secure justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends," he stated in a comment.

The publication of these documents comes as the House panel continuing its probe into the Epstein case.
