🔗 Share this article White House Condemns 'Democratic Fabrication' as More Epstein Estate Images Made Public Democratic lawmakers have made public a fresh batch of what they termed "alarming" pictures from the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, depicting among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and former British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The first release of 19 photographs—a portion of which have been previously circulated—plus another 70 unveiled later on Friday represent a tiny fraction of the approximately 100,000 images provided to the House oversight committee, which is examining the actions and ties of Epstein. The disgraced financier was a victim of an apparent self-inflicted death in a New York jail cell in 2019 after being indicted on sex-trafficking charges. High-Profile Individuals in the Photos Among the high-profile individuals visible in the initial batch are celebrities including movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft creator 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 pictured with six women, whose faces are obscured. White House Response The White House addressed the release in a statement, accusing Democrats of purposefully "choosing" the images for political purposes and to "seek to establish a false storyline." "This Democratic fabrication against President Trump has been consistently disproven," a White House spokesperson stated, maintaining that "the current government has done more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats have ever done by consistently demanding transparency, making public reams of records, and demanding more inquiries into Epstein's Democratic associates." Panel Member Statement The photographs were disclosed without context, but per a Democratic representative from California and senior member of the investigative panel, they prompt further inquiries about Epstein's associations with wealthy individuals. "The moment has come to halt this White House concealment and secure justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends," he declared in a statement. The release of these materials coincides with the oversight committee pressing on with its investigation into the Epstein case.
