Event Summary

The Democratic members of the United States — United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released 19 previously unseen photographs from the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. These images, part of a larger cache of over 95,000, depict prominent individuals including current US President Donald Trump, former US President Bill Clinton, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, and Steve Bannon. Donald Trump downplayed the significance of the photos, stating that Jeffrey Epstein 'has photos with everybody' and that he knew nothing about him. White House spokeswoman Abigail Becker accused House Democrats of 'selectively releasing cherry-picked photos' to create a false narrative against Donald Trump, highlighting that no misconduct is alleged in the images.
