Democrats released fresh details from the Epstein files on Friday — featuring several prominent personalities including President Donald Trump. Multiple others including former President Bill Clinton and British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and billionaire businessman Bill Gates were also featured in photos from the estate of the late financier.
The photos released Friday were separate from the case files that the Department of Justice is now compelled to release. Several of the photos have already circulated in the public.
“It is time to end this White House cover-up and bring justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends,” said Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, in a statement.
‘Nineteen images from Epstein estate’
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released 19 photos on Friday — featuring several prominent leaders. None of the photos depict sexual misconduct and it remains unclear when or where the images were taken. The photos are also not believed to depict underage girls.
Trump, once a close friend of Epstein, has said that he parted ways with him long before he faced the sex trafficking charges. Clinton, too, has minimised his relationship with Epstein, acknowledging that he travelled on Epstein’s private jet but saying through a spokesperson that he had no knowledge of the late financier’s crimes. Clinton also has never been accused of misconduct by Epstein’s known victims. Andrew lost his royal titles and privileges this year amid new revelations of his ties to Epstein, though he has denied wrongdoing.
Novelty ‘Trump condoms’ go viral
One photo in particular has since gone viral and features what appears to be a bowl of novelty ‘Trump condoms’ for $4.50. Neither the photo itself nor the Democrats offered additional context. Each condom also bears a sketch of the President’s face with the text “I’m HUUUUGE!” inscribed in front. The images were released without captions or context and also included a black-and-white image of Trump alongside six women whose faces were blacked out.
