Democrats on the U.S. House Oversight Committee released a new batch of images of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, showing him with current U.S. President Donald Trump and other public figures such as former President Bill Clinton and filmmaker Woody Allen.
“These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. It’s time to end this White House cover-up,” they stated on social media, urging the Trump Administration to release all files related to the scheme.
In one of the photos, published on the social network X via the Dropbox storage platform, a young Trump appears surrounded by six women with their faces blurred, while in another he is seen with Epstein and other public figures during what appears to be an event.
Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, former President Bill Clinton, businessman Bill Gates, and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers all appear in several photographs alongside Epstein, who was found dead in a New York jail in August 2019.
Another photo shows Clinton with Epstein and his former partner Ghislaine Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking of minors in the pedophilia ring. The photograph is signed by the former US president himself. The lot also includes an image of condoms with Trump’s face on them, valued at $4.50 (€3.80).
This comes after Democrats released an initial batch of 150 photographs last Thursday of one of Epstein’s Caribbean islands, showing various areas of the complex, such as bedrooms, bathrooms, and a swimming pool. Several of the rooms displayed unsettling masks hanging on the wall, whiteboards with words like “power” and “truth,” and even a dentist’s office.
Trump—who initially shelved the Epstein case after a Justice Department report asserted that there was no “client list” containing the names of all those involved in the parties hosted by the magnate and in the child trafficking ring—changed his stance a few months ago following the release of a series of emails by Democrats.
Since then, he has authorized the release of all the case files, despite accusing Democrats of trying to “confuse” and “divert attention” with their maneuvers. Congress approved the declassification of all documents related to the scheme in November, after the president’s approval.
Epstein was arrested in July 2019 on charges of sexually abusing and trafficking dozens of children in the early 2000s. The Virgin Islands were allegedly the location of the scheme. epicenter of the pedophilia plot led by the tycoon and Maxwell.
