Democratic lawmakers on Friday released a new set of photos belonging to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which included images of former President Bill Clinton and US President Donald Trump.
Other prominent figures appearing in the photos are former Trump secretary Steve Bannon; former Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers; director Woody Allen and the former British prince now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Additionally, Microsoft’s Bill Gates and Virgin Group’s Richard Branson also appear.

Epstein’s relationship with the people in the photos was already known and the undated images do not appear to show any illegal behavior.
However, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee said “these disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world.”
Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Friday that they had not seen the photos and said their release was “no big deal.”
— Everyone knew this man, he was everywhere in Palm Beach — Trump said, referring to the Florida community where his Mar-a-Lago resort is located.
— There are hundreds and hundreds of people who have photos with him. So, it doesn’t matter (…) I don’t know, added Trump.
Earlier, Casa Blanca accused Democrats of releasing “cherry-picked” photos of Epstein’s property “in an attempt to create a false narrative.”

— Democratic engagement against President Trump has been repeatedly denied — said Abigail Jackson, spokesperson for Casa Blanca.
Among the photos published in the coming days there are also images of sex games and a novel “Trump condom”, with the image of his face and the phrase “I’m HUGE”.
There are three photos of Trump among the 19 published in recent days. In one, he appears alongside six women who wear what appear to be traditional Hawaiian necklaces around their necks. Their faces were pixelated.

Former President Clinton appears in a photo with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, the accomplice who served a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking of minors and other crimes. There are also other unidentified people.

Epstein, a successful investor, was friends with rich and powerful people, whom he frequently invited to his luxurious Caribbean home.
In 2008, he was convicted of sex crimes, including soliciting prostitution for a minor.
He served about a year in prison in particularly lenient conditions. He then avoided more serious charges until 2019, when he was arrested and charged with sex trafficking of minors.
He died in pretrial detention in New York that same year. His death was ruled a suicide.
Congress ordered the Justice Department to release its files on the vast Epstein investigation by December 19
