White House Decries 'Democrat Fabrication' as Additional Epstein Estate Photographs Released

House Democrats have released a additional set of what they termed "disturbing" images from the property of adjudicated sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, depicting among others Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and former British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The initial drop of 19 photographs—some of which have been previously circulated—plus another 70 issued later on Friday represent a tiny fraction of the nearly 100,000 images provided to the House oversight committee, which is probing the actions and ties of Epstein.

The fallen money manager was a victim of apparent suicide in a New York jail cell in 2019 after being indicted on sex-trafficking charges.

Prominent Personalities in the Images

Included in the high-profile individuals seen in the opening set are celebrities featuring movie maker 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 blacked out.

White House Reaction

The White House addressed the release in a statement, accusing Democrats of purposefully "choosing" the images for partisan aims and to "try and create a false storyline."

"The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been time and again refuted," an administration official said, insisting that "this presidency has achieved more for Epstein's victims than Democrats have at any point by frequently urging transparency, releasing thousands of pages of papers, and calling for additional probes into Epstein's Democrat friends."

Democratic Lawmaker Remarks

The photographs were disclosed devoid of explanation, but as stated by a Democratic representative from California and senior member of the investigative panel, they elicit additional doubts about Epstein's associations with the rich and powerful.

"Now is the occasion to halt this White House obfuscation and bring justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his influential associates," he said in a release.

The release of these materials comes as the House panel proceeding with its probe into the affair.
