Democratic US lawmakers have released two new batches of photographs from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, revealing details of the convicted paedophile's home and his connections to the world’s elite.
Among those featured in the photos are US President Donald Trump, former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon. While many of the images have been seen before, they do not imply any wrongdoing.
The nearly 100 new photos released by members of the House Oversight Committee on Friday are part of a larger cache of over 95,000 images obtained via subpoena, according to Democratic lawmakers.
As the justice department approaches a deadline next week to publish all Epstein-related documents, Friday's release adds to earlier disclosures made by the committee.
The committee's initial batch of images showed Epstein with various high-profile individuals, none of whom have yet publicly commented. Trump was captured in three of the newly released images; one depicts him alongside a woman whose face has been redacted, while another shows him conversing with model Ingrid Seynhaeve at a 1997 Victoria's Secret party.
The White House referred to these recent releases as a 'Democrat hoax' designed to distract from Trump’s presidency. Trump himself dismissed the photos as insignificant, noting that many people have been photographed with Epstein.
Friday’s files also contain other private images of Epstein, including personal moments and the former financier with prominent figures like former President Bill Clinton and tech billionaire Bill Gates. Clinton has denied any wrongdoing connected to Epstein.
The publications have intensified scrutiny on Epstein’s relationships with powerful individuals, and there are escalating calls for transparency amid claims from both sides of the political aisle. Representative Robert Garcia argued the images raise further questions about Epstein and his powerful associates.
While the released images contain no incriminating evidence against those depicted, ongoing investigations and the surrounding controversy continue to fuel public interest and speculation.
