A group of released Jeffrey Epstein photos includes images of President Donald Trump and the previous prince Andrew Mountbatten.
The 19 pictures, released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee today, feature other highly influential figures, including Bill Gates, former president Bill Clinton and Richard Branson.
Donald Trump is in three photos, including certainly one of him surrounded by women, whose faces have been blocked out.
One other photo shows condoms with sketches of Trump on them and ‘I’m HUUUUGE!’ printed on the underside.
One in all the photographs released is of former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Bill Gates.
It appears to be a cropped version of a picture taken by knowledgeable photographer, available to view online, with the fuller image depicting King Charles – then the Prince of Wales.
The photographs are from Epstein’s estate and were obtained by the Republican-led committee as a part of its ongoing investigation.
None of the photographs indicate any sexual misconduct and there is no such thing as a suggestion the ladies pictured are underage.
It’s unclear who took most of the photos and when as they’re undated.
The photographs should not from the Epstein files that the US Department of Justice ordered to be released by December 19.
Trump has previously said he ended his friendship with Epstein long before the late financier and socialite’s first conviction in 2008.
In one other, Bill Clinton is pictured with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein and one other woman, signed with what appears to be a Bill Clinton signature.
Clinton has previously acknowledged taking 4 trips on Epstein’s private jet, along with his staff, between 2002 and 2003.
The previous president has denied any wrongdoing in reference to Epstein’s crimes.
In 2019, Clinton’s spokesperson said he knew “nothing concerning the terrible crimes” Epstein had committed.
Other famous figures included in the gathering are Trump’s confidante Steve Bannon, former Harvard president Larry Summers, lawyer Alan Dershowitz and actor Woody Allen.
The House Oversight Committee is made up of over 47 members, including 26 Republicans and 21 Democrats.
It’s investigating whether the US government properly investigated Epstein and Maxwell, who were each prosecuted over their roles in a sex-trafficking ring involving underage girls.
Epstein died in custody while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in August 2019.
His long-time friend Maxwell was found guilty of helping him sexually abuse young girls, and sentenced to twenty years imprisonment, in June 2022.
Democrat representative Robert Garcia said in an announcement that the committee is taking a look at ‘over 95,000 photos’ from Epstein’s estate.
He claimed much more can be released to the general public ‘in the times and weeks ahead’.
But a spokesperson for the Republican-led Oversight Committee has criticised the Democrats for the discharge, saying they were ‘cherry-picking photos’.
They added that ‘targeted redactions’ aimed ‘to create a false narrative about President Trump’.
