Democrat-led House committee releases 19 disturbing photos featuring Trump, Clinton, and other powerful figures linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In a move the White House described as "cherry-picking", House Democrats have published a new batch of photographs from the estate of Epstein, who died in prison last year while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. The 19 images, which include pictures of Trump, Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew, have raised more questions about the connections between wealthy individuals and Epstein.
Among the notable figures shown are celebrities such as Woody Allen and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, as well as businessman Richard Branson, who has denied any wrongdoing. Three photographs feature Steve Bannon, a former advisor to Trump, in settings with Epstein and Allen.
The release of these images comes as part of an ongoing investigation into Epstein's conduct and connections by the House Oversight Committee. The committee released 70 additional photos earlier this week, bringing the total number of images from the estate to almost 100,000.
Critics have accused Democrats of selectively releasing photographs for political gain, claiming that they are trying to create a false narrative about Trump's involvement with Epstein. However, Democrats say they are committed to transparency and justice for survivors of Epstein's abuse.
The White House responded by accusing Democrats of being disingenuous in their pursuit of information, saying the release of these images is part of a larger "hoax". The Justice Department has until December 19 to comply with a bill passed last month that requires the release of all government files related to Epstein.
As the investigation continues, more photographs are expected to be released by the committee. The Democratic leaders have pledged to protect the identities of survivors while continuing to shed light on Epstein's relationships with powerful figures.

. Like, who knew they all hung out together so much? It's crazy that some of them even deny any wrongdoing, like Richard Branson 
. And what's up with the White House saying it's "cherry-picking" while Democrats are just trying to shine a light on some serious allegations 
. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this investigation unfolds 
. The fact that there are almost 100,000 photos from Epstein's estate is wild too 
. Can't say much more about it without more info, but it's definitely an interesting development 
.
19 pics and they're all like "hey look at us" but like what's really going on here? are we supposed to believe that trump just happened to have a casual coffee date with epstein on like every single one of those days? 
i don't know about the politics of it all, but as someone who's been following this story, it's hard not to wonder how much more info there is out there. can we get some real transparency here instead of just cherry-picking pics that fit a narrative? 
Let's focus on getting to the truth, not making excuses or covering up. 
. I mean, who needs transparency when you've got a bunch of powerful people with connections to Epstein? 
The White House is already calling it "cherry-picking" - which is just code for "we don't want you to know the truth". And what's really going on here is that we're not getting the whole story. The Democrats are right that they're committed to transparency, but it seems like the White House is more interested in creating a narrative than actually finding out what happened
