Democrats in the US House of Representatives released a trove of photos on Friday that show disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in the company of high-profile figures like former US President Bill Clinton and current US President Donald Trump.
The photos are undated and were released by Democrats of the House Oversight Committee, the entity that has been investigating the Epstein files.
Trump said later Friday that he had not seen the photos before, telling reporters in the Oval Office that: "Everybody knew this man. He was all over Palm Beach. He has photos with everybody."
He also downplayed the significance of the photos, saying: "There are hundreds and hundreds of people that have photos with him. So that’s no big deal. I know nothing about it."
19 photos released from Jeffrey Epstein's estate
Jeffrey Epstein's estate handed the 19 photos for release, which include images of Trump, Clinton, far-right personality and former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, former Treasury secretary Larry Summers, film director Woody Allen, former British prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Microsoft's Bill Gates and Virgin Group's Richard Branson.
The photos also show sex toys and even a "Trump condom" featuring a drawn picture of his face and the words "I'm HUUUUGE!"
"This is about truth and justice—for victims and survivors," said Democratic congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, member of the Oversight committee.
"These subpoenaed photos from the Epstein estate are deeply disturbing and raise serious questions about who knew what, and when—which is exactly why the files need to be released," she added, renewing calls for the Trump administration to release the Epstein files that the Justice Department holds and which congress voted to authoritze.
White House decries 'cherry-picking' photos
A toal of three photos of Trump were released. In one of the photos, Trump is seen posing with six women, whose faces have been redacted. The women are wearing what appear to be traditional Hawaiian leis around their necks.
In another one, Trump is seen talking to a blonde woman with Epstein in the background.
The White House responded to the release, accusing Democrats of releasing "cherry-picked" photos from the Epstein estate "to try and create a false narrative."
"The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been repeatedly debunked," said Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman.
