White House Decries 'Democratic Hoax' as Additional Epstein Estate Photos Made Public

House Democrats have made public a additional set of what they labeled "troubling" pictures from the property of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, featuring notably Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and ex-UK prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The initial drop of 19 images—some of which have been previously circulated—along with another 70 issued later on Friday account for a tiny fraction of the approximately 100,000 images provided to the House investigative panel, which is probing the behavior and associations of Epstein.

The fallen money manager died by apparent suicide in a New York detention cell in 2019 after being accused of sex-trafficking offenses.

Notable Figures in the Photos

Among the notable figures visible in the opening set are well-known figures featuring movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, creator of the Virgin conglomerate.

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

White House Response

The White House reacted to the release in a official comment, charging Democrats of selectively "hand-picking" the pictures for political purposes and to "try and create a false storyline."

"That partisan falsehood against President Trump has been consistently disproven," an administration official stated, insisting that "the current government has done more for Epstein's victims than Democrats have ever done by repeatedly calling for transparency, releasing reams of documents, and urging further investigations into Epstein's Democrat friends."

Congressional Democrat Comment

The photos were disclosed lacking captions, but per a Democratic representative from California and ranking member of the investigative panel, they elicit additional doubts about Epstein's links with the rich and powerful.

"Now is the occasion to end this White House concealment and secure justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his influential associates," he stated in a release.

The disclosure of these images comes as the House panel pressing on with its investigation into the affair.
