House Dems Release New Epstein Estate Photos Showing Trump, Clinton, And Others
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released two batches of never-before-seen photos from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s estate on Friday, including images featuring President Trump and former President Clinton.
Other figures appearing in the photos include: former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, billionaire Bill Gates, Trump ally Steve Bannon, and filmmaker Woody Allen.
None of the released images show illegal activity, though some appear to include sexual paraphernalia.
One image shows a cartoon depiction of Trump with the words “I’m HUUUUGE!” alongside a chalk sign reading “Trump condom $4.50.”
Trump administration’s response: A White House spokesperson accused Democrats of “selectively releasing cherry-picked photos,” calling the move a political attack on Trump.
The Justice Department is legally required to release all remaining Epstein-related files by December 19 — next Friday — under a law overwhelmingly passed by Congress and signed by Trump last month.
WILL WE GET MORE?
The photos are part of a larger trove of roughly 95,000 images that Epstein’s estate provided to the House committee.
Courts say more releases: Federal judges in New York on Wednesday directed the release of more information from Epstein’s 2019 sex-trafficking case. On Tuesday, another federal judge made a similar ruling covering records related to his convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Before signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, Trump called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to specifically investigate high-profile figures in the Democratic Party and their ties to Epstein. She quickly ordered a federal prosecutor to do so.
Why that could delay the release: Even under the signed law, the DOJ can say that they cannot release the files because of an ongoing investigation. As of Friday, they have not said as much.
