Democrats on a
congressional oversight panel released more than a dozen new
images from the estate of the late convicted sex offender
Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, including photos of now-President
Donald Trump.
Trump is featured in three of the 19 photos shared by House
Oversight Committee Democrats, who said they are reviewing more
than 95,000 images produced by the estate.
In one black-and-white photo, Trump is seen smiling with
several women — whose faces are redacted — on each side of him.
A second image shows Trump standing beside Epstein, and a third,
less-clear image shows him seated alongside another woman, whose
face is also redacted, with his red tie loosened. It was not
clear when or where the photos were taken.

Former President Bill Clinton, former Trump aide Steve Bannon,
Bill Gates and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers also
appear in the batch of images, as well as sex toys and a $4.50
“Trump condom” emblazoned with Trump’s face and the all-caps
phrase “I’M HUUUGE!”
A spokesperson for the committee, which is led by Republican
Chairman James Comer of Kentucky, said Democrats were
politicizing the investigation by “cherry-picking photos and
making targeted redactions to create a false narrative about
President Trump.”

Democrats said the tens of thousands of photos include “images
of the wealthy and powerful men who spent time with Jeffrey
Epstein” and “photographs of women and Epstein properties,” and
more will be released in the coming days.
“These disturbing photos raise even more questions about
Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men
in the world,” Representative Robert Garcia of California, the
top Democrat on the oversight committee, said in a statement.
“We will not rest until the American people get the truth. The
Department of Justice must release all the files, NOW.”
The congressional Democrats said they redacted the women’s
faces to protect the identities of Epstein’s victims.
The committee is continuing to obtain and release documents even
as the U.S. Department of Justice is expected to publicize
unclassified Epstein files from its federal investigation late
next week.
Trump signed into law last month an overwhelmingly bipartisan
bill led by Democratic Representative Ro Khanna of California
and Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky that
compels the Justice Department to release the Epstein files
within 30 days. December 19 will mark the end of that window.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for
comment.
Trump and Epstein were friends during the 1990s and early
2000s, but Trump says he broke off ties before Epstein pleaded
guilty to prostitution charges.
Trump has consistently denied knowing about the late
financier’s abuse and sex trafficking of underage girls.
