The Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee have released additional photographs from the estate of convicted individual Jeffrey Epstein. These 19 images are a subset of approximately 95,000 photos acquired by the committee as part of its ongoing investigation.
Prominent Figures Identified
Among the high-profile individuals visible in the recently released photographs are former U.S. President Donald Trump, former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon. It has been stated that the inclusion of individuals in these images does not, by itself, indicate any implication of wrongdoing. The release precedes a deadline set for the U.S. Justice Department to disclose all Epstein-related documents, which are distinct from the images provided by the committee.
Individuals featured in the images have not yet issued statements regarding the release; many have previously denied any misconduct in connection with Epstein.
Committee Statements and Political Responses
Representative Robert Garcia, the leading Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, issued a statement asserting, "It is time to end this White House cover-up and bring justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends." He further stated, "These disturbing photos raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. We will not rest until the American people get the truth. The Department of Justice must release all the files, NOW."
Republican members of the committee, who hold the majority, have accused Democrats of "cherry-picking photos and making targeted redactions to create a false narrative about President Trump." The White House characterized the release as a "Democrat hoax" targeting Trump, claiming it has been "repeatedly debunked."
Specific Image Details
- Donald Trump: Three of the released images feature Donald Trump. One photograph shows him next to a woman whose face has been redacted. Another image, previously public, depicts Trump alongside Epstein while conversing with model Ingrid Seynhaeve at a 1997 Victoria's Secret event in New York. A third image shows Trump smiling with several women whose faces are also redacted. An additional image displayed an illustrated likeness of the former president on red packets labeled "Trump Condom."
- Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor: An image that appears to be a cropped photograph shows Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor positioned next to Bill Gates. A complete version of this photograph, available via Getty Images, includes King Charles (then the Prince of Wales) on the right side. The Getty Images caption indicates the picture was taken during a summit at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in London in April 2018.
- Steve Bannon: Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon is also depicted in some images. He is shown engaging in conversation with Epstein at a desk, and in another, standing beside him in front of a mirror.
