"The 19 photos released by Democratic lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee were a small part of more than 95,000 they received from the estate of Epstein, who died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The photos released Friday were separate from the case files that the Department of Justice is now under compulsion to release, but anticipation is growing as the Trump administration faces a deadline next week to produce the Epstein files."
"Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, did not say whether any of the women in the photos was a victim of abuse, but he added, "Our commitment from day one has been to redact any photo, any information that could lead to any sort of harm to any of the victims." White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson accused Democrats of "selectively releasing cherry-picked photos with random redactions to try and create a false narrative" and called it part of a "Democrat hoax against President Trump.""
House Democrats released 19 photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, part of more than 95,000 images obtained from the estate. Epstein died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The released photos were separate from Department of Justice case files that are under compulsion to be released, and the Trump administration faces a deadline to produce additional Epstein files next week. The photos were published without captions or context and included a black-and-white image of Donald Trump beside six women whose faces were blacked out. Rep. Robert Garcia said staff redacted images to avoid harming victims, while the White House accused Democrats of selectively releasing photos to create a false narrative. Democrats pledged to continue releasing photos to pressure the administration over earlier refusals to disclose documents.
