What to Know
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released more photos from the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The newly released batch of photos included images of several different high-profile men, including President Donald Trump, Former President Bill Clinton, former Prince Andrew, director Woody Allen, and former Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon, among others. And though the images have reignited concerns about Trump’s friendship with Epstein, he suggested that there’s nothing to be concerned about.
One of the photos shared by the Democrats on X shows Trump posing with a group of women whose faces have been covered by the black boxes. Another image shared on social media shows a collection of Trump-inspired condoms priced at $4.50. The red package has an illustration of Trump’s face on it and text that reads, “I’m HUUUUGE!”
But Trump says Epstein ‘has photos with everybody.’
After Democrats released the photos on Friday, December 12, a reporter asked Trump about them. At the time, Trump claimed that he hadn’t seen the photos, but suggested that there was nothing unusual or alarming about them because “everybody knew” Epstein and had photos with him, apparently.
“Well, I haven’t seen it, but I mean everybody knew this man,” Trump said, per Time magazine. “He was all over Palm Beach; he has photos with everybody. I mean, almost—there are hundreds and hundreds of people that have photos with him, so that’s no big deal. I know nothing about it.”
🚨 BREAKING: Oversight Dems received 95,000 new photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world.

Trump’s dismissiveness is nothing new. In the X post, House Democrats called for more transparency. “These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world,” the post read. “Time to end this White House cover-up. Release the files!”
Michael Wolff has also weighed in.
On the Daily Beast podcast Inside Trump’s Head, the journalist commented on the Democrats’ decision to redact the faces of the women standing beside Trump in one of the photos. “The Democrats are blacking out their faces, and the implication here is that they are blacking out their faces because these might have been victims, I suppose, of Donald Trump,” he said. “It’s a weird signal that is being sent.”
He also reacted to a mirror selfie that Epstein and Bannon took together. According to him, the two men bonded over their complicated feelings about Trump. “They both had such deep—and to say the very least, mixed—feelings about Donald Trump, that they immediately became friends because they just had an inexhaustible conversation on this subject: Trump’s stupidity, Trump’s perfidy, Trump’s improbability,” Wolff claimed. “And they went on and on and on at endless length about this.”
