House Democrats Release New Jeffrey Epstein Photos Featuring Trump, Clinton and Other High-Profile Figures

House Democrats on the Oversight Committee released a tranche of photographs from the estate of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, featuring President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, and numerous other high-profile figures in what represents the first glimpse of nearly 95,000 images now under congressional scrutiny. The 19 photographs released Friday show Trump in three separate images: one black-and-white photo depicting him with six women wearing leis whose faces were redacted by committee members, another showing him alongside Epstein and a blonde woman at what appears to be a social event, and a third less-clear image showing him seated with another woman whose face was also blacked out. Former President Bill Clinton appears in the photos alongside Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's girlfriend and co-conspirator who was later convicted for her role in the sex trafficking operation. The images also feature Trump advisor Steve Bannon in three separate photos, including one showing him with Epstein at his office and another mirror selfie with the financier. Other prominent figures captured in the estate photos include Microsoft founder Bill Gates, filmmaker Woody Allen, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, businessman Richard Branson, and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Prince Andrew whose royal title was stripped amid controversy surrounding his Epstein connections. The release also included more graphic evidence found at Epstein's properties, including various items and what Democrats described as a "Trump condom" in a red wrapper featuring the now-President's portrait with the caption "I'm HUUUGE!" Rep. Robert Garcia, the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, called for greater transparency and accountability following the photo release, with Democrats pledging to continue releasing additional images in the coming days and weeks. President Trump downplayed the significance of the photos when asked by reporters Friday, stating, "Well, I haven't seen it, but, I mean, everybody knew this man. He was all over Palm Beach. His photos with everybody. I mean, almost there are hundreds and hundreds of people that have photos with him, so that's no big deal." White House representatives also dismissed the photos, accusing Democrats of selective release tactics. Trump has previously acknowledged a past friendship with Epstein that ended in a falling out, though he has denied knowledge of Epstein's crimes and has not been accused of any wrongdoing in connection with the sex trafficking network. The photo release comes as the Justice Department is separately compelled to release its own Epstein case files next week, adding to the mounting public scrutiny of the disgraced financier's extensive network of powerful connections. Epstein died by apparent suicide in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. The House Oversight Committee's investigation aims to examine the conduct and connections of Epstein and those in his orbit, with Democrats using the photo releases to pressure the Trump administration over previous refusals to release related documents. The photographs released Friday represent only a fraction of the massive trove of evidence from Epstein's estate, with committee members indicating that many of the images have been seen before while others provide new insights into the extent of relationships between Epstein and various high-profile individuals. The ongoing congressional investigation continues to shed light on the scope of Epstein's connections to powerful figures across politics, business, and entertainment, raising questions about the nature and extent of these relationships during the height of his influence.
