House Democrats have released a fresh batch of what they described as "disturbing" photographs from the estate of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, featuring notably Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and former British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The opening batch of 19 images—a portion of which have been previously circulated—combined with another 70 issued later on Friday represent a minuscule portion of the approximately 100,000 images handed over to the House oversight committee, which is examining the conduct and connections of Epstein.
The shamed investor was a victim of an apparent self-inflicted death in a New York prison cell in 2019 after being charged with sex-trafficking crimes.
Among the notable figures shown in the first release are well-known figures featuring movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft creator Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin conglomerate.
Donald Trump is featured in three of the first nineteen images. In one, he is seen with six women, whose faces are obscured.
The White House addressed the release in a statement, alleging Democrats of selectively "hand-picking" the pictures for political purposes and to "attempt to fabricate a false account."
"This Democratic fabrication against President Trump has been repeatedly debunked," an administration official said, asserting that "the Trump administration has accomplished more for Epstein's victims than Democrats have at any point by consistently demanding openness, making public thousands of pages of records, and calling for further investigations into Epstein's liberal connections."
The photos were disclosed without context, but according to a Democratic representative from California and ranking member of the investigative panel, they prompt further inquiries about Epstein's links with wealthy individuals.
"Now is the occasion to stop this White House obfuscation and bring justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his influential associates," he said in a comment.
The publication of these images comes as the House panel proceeding with its inquiry into the Epstein case.
