House Oversight Committee Democrats released a selection of photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate on Friday, showing Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The photos are part of more than 95,000 images received from Epstein’s estate. These releases are separate from the Justice Department case files that the Trump administration must produce next week, which have long been the focus of speculation and conspiracy theories.
The images were released without captions. One black-and-white photo shows Trump with six women whose faces were blacked out. Trump said he had not seen the photos before the release and called them “no big deal,” adding that Epstein “was all over Palm Beach” and “had photos with everybody.”
Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the committee, did not confirm whether any women in the photos were victims. He said the committee redacted information to avoid causing harm to anyone involved.
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson accused Democrats of “selectively releasing cherry-picked photos with random redactions to try and create a false narrative,” calling it a “Democrat hoax against President Trump.”
Many of the photos had already circulated publicly. Democrats said they plan to release more images in the coming weeks to pressure Trump over his administration’s previous refusal to share Epstein documents. Rep. James Comer, Republican chair of the committee, warned of possible contempt proceedings against the Clintons if they do not appear or reschedule depositions.
The photo release also included high-profile figures like Steve Bannon, billionaires Richard Branson and Bill Gates, filmmaker Woody Allen, former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, and law professor Alan Dershowitz. All have denied wrongdoing in their associations with Epstein.
After earlier email releases, Summers stepped away from his Harvard teaching role and faced fallout in academic circles. Allen has faced long-standing allegations of abuse from his adopted daughter, which he denies.
Some lawmakers believe more high-powered figures could be implicated when the full Justice Department files are released. Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, said grand jury material being released is only a small fraction of what DOJ must make public. He suggested the FBI and DOJ likely have evidence that could implicate others beyond Epstein and Maxwell.
