Democrats on the House Oversight Committee on Friday released a second batch of images from the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s estate. The images include pictures of Epstein with a number of high-profile figures, including President Donald Trump, longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon, former President Bill Clinton, former Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, movie director Woody Allen, billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson and prominent attorney Alan Dershowitz. They do not appear to show illegal activity by these individuals. They appeared among 19 photos out of a production that contains more than 95,000 photos. “It is time to end this White House cover-up and bring justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends,” the committee’s ranking member, Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., said. “These disturbing photos raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. We will not rest until the American people get the truth. The Department of Justice must release all the files, NOW.” Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein in a photo released by the House Oversight Committee. (House Oversight Committee) Several of the faces in the images are blocked out; the redactions were done by House Democrats before they shared the pictures with the media. The images of Trump include one featuring a younger Trump posing for a photo with two women on one side and three women on his other side wearing what look to be artificial Hawaiian leis. The faces of the women are redacted. Another photo shows a young Trump standing next to Epstein at an event while speaking to a blond woman, and another shows Trump with a blond woman whose face is redacted. Clinton appears in another photo posing with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s girlfriend and co-conspirator, who stand to his left. It appears to be signed by Clinton.

(House Oversight Committee) Other photos feature Bannon, including one in which Epstein is sitting behind a desk with Bannon sitting on the opposite side and another of the two of them standing together taking a selfie through a mirror. Emails released by the Oversight Committee in November showed frequent correspondence between Bannon and Epstein.

One also shows Allen and Bannon speaking to each other. Allen faced child sexual abuse allegations initially dating to the 1990s, which he has repeatedly denied. On his relationship with Epstein, Allen said in an interview with The Sunday Times published in September, “We never, ever, saw Jeffrey with underage girls. He always had a girlfriend but never an underage girlfriend.” In another of the photos released Friday, Summers appears to be on a private plane. After the release of emails from the Epstein estate last month, Summers stepped back from his public commitments, including taking leave from teaching duties at Harvard University, and said he was “deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused. I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein.” Two photos released Friday also feature Gates, including one showing him standing with the former Prince Andrew, who was recently stripped of his title because of his relationship with Epstein, and another showing Gates posing outside a small plane with a member of the flight crew. Still another photo shows Epstein speaking with Dershowitz, while another shows billionaire Branson holding up a notebook while sitting on a beach, with Epstein smiling in the background.

Reached for comment, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said, “Once again, House Democrats are selectively releasing cherry-picked photos with random redactions to try and create a false narrative.” Jackson went on to say, “The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been repeatedly debunked and the Trump Administration has done more for Epstein’s victims than Democrats ever have by repeatedly calling for transparency, releasing thousands of pages of documents, and calling for further investigations into Epstein’s Democrat friends.” Asked for comment Friday, Dershowitz told NBC News in an email that he had been Epstein’s lawyer. “I also attended his seminars at Harvard before he was accused or suspected of any wrongdoing,” he wrote. “So of course i am in fotos with him. This foto has been published numerous times. I did nothing improper.” NBC News has reached out to Clinton, Allen, Bannon, Gates, Summers, Branson and Mountbatten-Windsor for comment on the photos.

In July, the president denied writing a letter to Epstein for a birthday album more than two decades ago that included an outline of a naked woman and a “Donald” signature. “I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women,” Trump told The Wall Street Journal, which first reported its existence. “It’s not my language. It’s not my words.” The president has also repeatedly said he had a falling out with Epstein because he had hired people way from Mar-a-Lago, including Giuffre and other young women from the resort’s spa. “He did something that was inappropriate,” Trump said about Epstein over the summer. “He hired help, and I said, ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ He stole people that work for me. I said, ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ He did it again, and I threw him out of the place.” Clinton’s spokesman Angel Ureña said in a statement in 2019, “President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York.” In January, Gates told The Wall Street Journal in an interview, “Jeffrey, in retrospect, I was foolish to spend any time with him. And he sort of got time with various people by spending time with other people. So, yes, I think I was quite stupid. I thought it would help me with global health philanthropy. In fact, it failed to do that. It was just a huge mistake.” Woody Allen and Jeffrey Epstein. (House Oversight Committee) Dershowitz was initially named as one of the men who had sex with prominent Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre in her defamation lawsuit against the attorney in 2019. He denied the allegation and later filed a defamation suit against her, but ultimately dropped the litigation after she withdrew her lawsuit and acknowledged she might have made a mistake in identifying him as one of her abusers. “As I have said from the beginning, I never had sex with Ms. Giuffre,” Dershowitz said in a statement after she dropped her suit. “I have nevertheless come to believe that at the time she accused me she believed what she said. Ms. Giuffre is to be commended for her courage in now stating publicly that she may have been mistaken about me.” Giuffre also accused Mountbatten-Windsor of sexually abusing her when she was 17 years old, which he has denied. In a statement to NBC News in 2019, he defended his relationship with Epstein. “At no stage during the limited time I spent with him did I see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction,” he said in a statement from Buckingham Palace. Democrats on the Oversight panel released more than 150 photos and videos of Epstein’s island earlier this month that also were received from his estate. The initial collection showed the outdoor pool area, several bedrooms, bathrooms, a room with a dental chair, and a library with a large desk and a blackboard with the words “power,” “truth,” “music,” “deception,” “intellectual” and “political” written on it, along with some redacted words. Epstein owned two private islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands — Little Saint James and Great Saint James — where he was accused of sexually abusing girls and young women. He bought Little Saint James in 1998 for $7.95 million and purchased Great Saint James in 2016. Woody Allen and Jeffrey Epstein. (House Oversight Committee) The latest release, which also contained redactions from the Oversight Committee, comes as the 30-day deadline approaches next week for the Justice Department to turn over to Congress the massive amount of files the federal government has on Epstein. On Nov. 19, Trump signed legislation passed by the House and Senate that requires DOJ to release the records. Meanwhile, a federal judge in New York on Wednesday granted the DOJ’s request to unseal grand jury records in Epstein’s 2019 sex trafficking case. A different judge on Tuesday ordered the release of grand jury records related to Maxwell. A federal judge in Florida last week also ordered the release of grand jury investigations into Epstein in 2005 and 2007. ...read more read less
