White House Decries 'Democrat Fabrication' as Further Jeffrey Epstein Images Made Public

House Democrats have released a new tranche of what they termed "alarming" photographs from the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including notably Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and ex-UK prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

The first release of 19 images—some of which have been seen before—combined with another 70 issued later on Friday constitute a small number of the approximately 100,000 images released to the House investigative panel, which is examining the actions and ties of Epstein.

The shamed investor was a victim of apparent suicide in a New York detention cell in 2019 after being accused of sex-trafficking crimes.

Prominent Personalities in the Photos

Featured among the notable figures shown in the opening set are celebrities including movie maker Woody Allen; Microsoft founder 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 photographed with six women, whose faces are blacked out.

White House Statement

The White House reacted to the release in a statement, charging Democrats of selectively "cherry-picking" the photographs for political purposes and to "seek to establish a false narrative."

"That partisan falsehood against President Trump has been repeatedly debunked," a presidential representative remarked, asserting that "the current government has accomplished more for Epstein's survivors than Democrats have at any point by consistently demanding transparency, making public numerous documents of records, and calling for further investigations into Epstein's Democrat friends."

Democratic Lawmaker Statement

The photos were published lacking captions, but as stated by a Democratic representative from California and ranking member of the investigative panel, they raise more questions about Epstein's connections to wealthy individuals.

"The moment has come to stop this White House concealment and deliver justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his well-connected allies," he declared in a release.

The disclosure of these materials comes as the House panel continuing its inquiry into the affair.
