Dems release photos of Epstein with politicians, celebrities

(NewsNation) — Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have made public previously unseen photographs from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate featuring several high-profile individuals, including President Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Steve Bannon and Bill Gates.

Democratic lawmakers posted on social media that they received 95,000 photos. They initially released 19 photos before announcing the release of more than 70 photos late Friday afternoon. The trove of materials did not include any context as to when or where the photos were taken. Some of those pictured had previously been linked to Epstein.

In recent weeks, three federal judges have ruled to unseal grand jury transcripts and other materials related to Epstein.

Last week, a judge ruled exhibits and investigative materials from the sex trafficking case against longtime Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell can be unsealed. Prior to that, a judge said materials from an abandoned 2000s grand jury investigation into Epstein could be made public.

The Justice Department faces a Dec. 19 deadline to release the files, which Trump had pledged to make public during his campaign.

A White House spokesperson again called the Democrats’ actions part of a hoax, telling NewsNation in a statement, “Once again, House Democrats are selectively releasing cherry-picked photos with random redactions to try and create a false narrative.”
