The House Oversight Committee Democrats said the photos are part of a large image collection. The estate of Jeffrey Epstein provided more than 95,000 photographs. Lawmakers are still reviewing most of this material.
So far, 19 new images have been released to the public. Trump appears in three of these photographs. The images have drawn attention due to Epstein’s criminal history.
One black-and-white photo shows Trump smiling with several women. Their faces are blurred or hidden. Another image shows Trump standing beside Epstein. A third photo shows Trump seated with a woman and his tie loosened.
The exact date and location of the photos were not disclosed. Lawmakers did not provide further background details. Officials said the images are being released as part of a transparency process.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump responded to the photos. He said Epstein was a well-known figure in Palm Beach. Trump added that many people were photographed with Epstein at social events.
Trump has previously said he ended contact with Epstein years ago. He stated this happened before Epstein’s 2008 conviction. Trump has also denied any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal actions.
The Epstein case remains politically sensitive in the United States. Some Trump supporters believe key information has been hidden. Others argue the releases are politically motivated. These debates continue, as noted by ABC.
In July, the US Justice Department addressed public speculation. Officials said there was no evidence of a secret client list. They also said there were no grounds to pursue other individuals.
The newly released images also include other prominent figures. Former US President Bill Clinton appears in some photos. Business leaders Bill Gates and Larry Summers are also visible. Political strategist Steve Bannon appears as well.
Democratic lawmakers say the review process is ongoing. More material may be released in the coming weeks. They stress that the images alone do not prove wrongdoing.
The Epstein estate has been under scrutiny since his death in 2019. Epstein was a convicted sex offender with powerful connections. His associations continue to attract public interest.
As reported by ABC, officials say transparency is the goal. They argue the public has a right to see verified material. The release is expected to keep the Epstein case in the spotlight.
The situation highlights ongoing concerns about influence and accountability. Lawmakers say the process will continue under court supervision.
