House Democrats have published a fresh batch of what they termed "alarming" 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 first release of 19 photographs—some of which have been previously circulated—plus another 70 issued later on Friday constitute a minuscule portion of the almost 100,000 images handed over to the House oversight committee, which is probing the behavior and associations of Epstein.
The disgraced financier was a victim of apparent suicide in a New York detention cell in 2019 after being accused of sex-trafficking offenses.
Featured among the high-profile individuals shown in the opening set are public figures featuring film director Woody Allen; Microsoft founder Bill Gates; and Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin business group.
Donald Trump is pictured in three of the first nineteen images. In one, he is photographed with six women, whose faces are blacked out.
The White House addressed the release in a statement, charging Democrats of selectively "choosing" the images for partisan aims and to "try and create a false account."
"That partisan falsehood against President Trump has been repeatedly debunked," a presidential representative remarked, insisting that "the Trump administration has accomplished more for Epstein's victims than Democrats have at any point by consistently demanding transparency, making public numerous documents of documents, and urging more inquiries into Epstein's liberal connections."
The images were disclosed without context, but according to a Democratic representative from California and ranking member of the oversight committee, they prompt further inquiries about Epstein's connections to the rich and powerful.
"It is time to stop this White House cover-up and deliver justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his well-connected allies," he said in a release.
The publication of these materials occurs alongside the oversight committee proceeding with its inquiry into the Epstein case.
