Democrats from the US House of Representatives today released photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, showing US President Donald Trump, Bill Clinton and former British Prince Andrew, the Associated Press reported, BTA reported.
The 19 photos published by Democratic congressmen who are members of the Oversight Committee are a small part of a total of more than 95,000 photos they received from the estate of Epstein, who died in 2019 in a New York prison cell during an investigation against him on pimping charges.
The photos are separate from the business materials that the Department of Justice is already required to release. The images were released without context and include a black-and-white photo of Trump with six women whose faces were obscured. The commission did not say why the faces were obscured.
Several of the images have already been seen in the public domain. Democrats have vowed to continue releasing the photos in the coming days and weeks, aiming to pressure Trump over his administration's previous reluctance to release documents related to the Epstein investigation.
“It is time to end this White House cover-up and bring justice to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his circle of influence,” Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, said in a statement.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the photos.
Trump, who was a close friend of Epstein, has said he stopped contacting him long before Epstein was indicted. Clinton has also said her contact with Epstein was not substantial, acknowledging that she traveled on his private jet but saying through a spokesman that she had no knowledge of the late financier's crimes. Clinton has never been accused by Epstein victims.
Prince Andrew lost his royal titles and privileges this year after new revelations about his ties to Epstein, although he denies wrongdoing.
