Faces of women in the photos were redacted to protect privacy, while questions arise about the timing and context of the images.
New Photos from Epstein Estate Released
Congressional Democrats have released 19 newly obtained photos from the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, showing President Donald Trump and other high-profile individuals, ahead of a planned Justice Department disclosure of Epstein-related documents next week.
Trump appears in three of the photos shared by House Oversight Committee Democrats:
- One shows him smiling with women whose faces were redacted.
- Another depicts him standing next to Epstein.
- A third shows him seated with a woman, tie loosened.
The timing and location of these photos remain unclear.
Trump Responds
Speaking at the White House, Trump said,
“Everybody knew this man… he has photos with everybody… that’s no big deal.”
White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson defended Trump, highlighting the administration’s work supporting Epstein’s victims and accusing Democrats of politicizing the images.
Other Prominent Figures in Photos
The batch of released images also features:
- Former President Bill Clinton
- Former Trump aide Steve Bannon
- Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates
- Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers
Photos include women with faces redacted, some of Epstein’s properties, and personal items such as a novelty “Trump condom.”
Political Fallout and Reactions
Representative Robert Garcia said the images raise questions about Epstein’s relationships with the powerful and called on the Justice Department to release all files.
Committee Republicans, including Chairman James Comer, accused Democrats of “cherry-picking” images to create a false narrative against Trump.
Democrats emphasize their commitment to protecting victims’ identities while promoting transparency regarding Epstein’s network and the interactions of high-profile figures.
