White House Decries 'Democrat Hoax' as More Epstein Estate Photos Disclosed

Democratic lawmakers have released a additional set of what they labeled "disturbing" pictures from the estate of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, featuring among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and former British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The first release of 19 images—some of which have been previously circulated—along with another 70 issued later on Friday constitute a minuscule portion of the almost 100,000 images handed over to the House oversight committee, which is probing the behavior and associations of Epstein.

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

Prominent Personalities in the Images

Featured among the high-profile individuals visible in the initial batch are celebrities featuring film director Woody Allen; Microsoft founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, creator of the Virgin conglomerate.

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

White House Reaction

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

"The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been consistently disproven," a presidential representative remarked, asserting that "this presidency has accomplished more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats ever have by repeatedly calling for openness, disclosing numerous documents of records, and urging additional probes into Epstein's Democratic associates."

Democratic Lawmaker Remarks

The photos were released without context, but as stated by a Democratic representative from California and senior member of the investigative panel, they prompt further inquiries about Epstein's links with affluent people.

"The moment has come to end this White House cover-up and deliver justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends," he stated in a statement.

The publication of these images occurs alongside the oversight committee continuing its probe into the Epstein case.
