U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday responded to the release of new photographs from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein. Trump said he had not seen the photos but downplayed their significance, stating that the images were “no big deal.”
He appeared in three of the newly released images and added, “Everybody knew this man. He was all over Palm Beach. He has photos with everybody. I mean, there are hundreds and hundreds of people that have photos with him.”
The photos, released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, also feature other high-profile figures, including former President Bill Clinton, Steve Bannon, Bill Gates, and Woody Allen. Democrats have said more images will be released in the coming days, citing transparency and accountability concerns.
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson condemned the release as a “cherry-picked, politically motivated attempt to create a false narrative” against Trump, highlighting that he has repeatedly denied any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities. Trump maintains that he ended his friendship with Epstein long before the financier faced sex trafficking charges.
Who is Jeffrey Epstein?
Jeffrey Epstein was an American financier and convicted sex offender. He became notorious for sexually abusing women and underage girls, often exploiting his wealth and connections to influential figures. Epstein was a well-known personality in elite social and financial circles, frequently attending high-profile events with politicians, celebrities and business leaders. His social network included former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and Bill Gates, among others. Epstein’s wealth, lavish lifestyle and visibility in the media made him widely recognised, and he often hosted parties, charity events and gatherings in Palm Beach, New York, and other major cities. This prominence explains why many public figures, including Donald Trump, appear in photographs with him.
