A newly released set of photographs from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein includes images featuring President Donald Trump, Prince Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and several other high profile figures. The 19 photographs were made public on Tuesday by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee as part of an ongoing congressional investigation.
Other individuals appearing in the images include Bill Gates, former US president Bill Clinton and British billionaire Richard Branson. The committee said the material was obtained from Epstein’s estate while reviewing whether US authorities properly investigated Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
Trump appears in three photographs. One shows him surrounded by women whose faces have been obscured. Another depicts a bowl of condoms printed with caricatures of Trump and the phrase “I’m HUUUUGE!”. The dates, locations and photographers of the images are unknown, as many are undated.
One photograph shows Prince Andrew alongside Bill Gates. The image appears to be a cropped version of a widely available professional photograph that also includes King Charles when he was Prince of Wales.
The committee stressed that none of the images indicate sexual misconduct and there is no suggestion that underage individuals are depicted. The photographs are separate from Epstein related files previously ordered for release by the US Department of Justice.
An image also shows Bill Clinton with Epstein, Maxwell and another woman, bearing what appears to be Clinton’s signature. Clinton has acknowledged flying on Epstein’s private jet four times between 2002 and 2003 with staff present but has repeatedly denied any involvement in Epstein’s crimes.
Other figures appearing in the collection include Steve Bannon, former Harvard president Larry Summers, lawyer Alan Dershowitz and actor Woody Allen. Additional images show Epstein with Richard Branson and separately with Dershowitz.
Democratic representative Robert Garcia said the committee is reviewing more than 95,000 images from Epstein’s estate and that further releases may follow. A spokesperson for the Republican led Oversight Committee criticised the release, accusing Democrats of selectively presenting images to create a misleading narrative about Trump.
Epstein died in custody in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Maxwell was convicted in 2022 for helping him abuse young girls and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
