House Democrats released a batch of Epstein estate photos on Friday, sparking fresh political tension in Washington.
The House Oversight Committee shared dozens of images from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate. The collection included photos of Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Britain’s former Prince Andrew. Lawmakers said the images came from more than 95,000 photos received from Epstein’s estate.
Democrats released the photos without captions or context. One black-and-white image showed Trump standing with six women whose faces were blacked out. Trump said he had not seen the photos and dismissed them as insignificant. He said Epstein had photos with many people in Palm Beach.
Oversight Committee Democrat Robert Garcia said his team redacted material to protect possible victims. He stressed the goal was transparency, not harm. The White House accused Democrats of releasing selective images to create a misleading narrative.
Democrats said they will release more photos soon. They want to pressure the administration to disclose Epstein-related Justice Department files. Republicans argue the documents show no wrongdoing by Trump.
The release also included images of Steve Bannon, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Woody Allen, and others. All have denied wrongdoing. Epstein died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
