President Donald Trump, Steve Bannon and other prominent figures can be seen in a new collection of photos from the Jeffrey Epstein estate released Friday by Democrats on the House Oversight and Reform Committee.
At least three of the photos show Trump, who has come under scrutiny for his alleged ties to Epstein and his efforts to prevent the release of government files on the alleged trafficker.
One black-and-white photo of Trump shows the president smiling as he posed with six lei-clad women whose faces were edited out.
Another photo showed Trump sitting on a plane next to a blonde woman whose face had been edited out.
In another photo, Trump listens to a glamorous woman while Epstein stands grinning next to him.
Another photo shows a stack of condoms with the Trump logo.
These photos, taken from 95,000 images and edited at the discretion of the committee members, are just the beginning. “The Democratic committee is reviewing the full set of photographs and will continue to release photographs in the coming days and weeks,” the statement said. Representative Robert Garcia told reporters Friday said some of the unpublished photos were “incredibly disturbing.”
MAGA architect Steve Bannon also created several appearances in photos released Friday, including one that was particularly troubling.
In one photo, Epstein sat at a table while Bannon sat across from him, talking. On the table between them was a framed photograph that appeared to show a partially naked woman lying limply on a sofa or bed.
Bannon had reportedly helped Epstein, in the political and legal quagmire that was the final year of his life, conducted a series of interviews with the alleged sex trafficker between 2018 and early 2019, totaling about 15 hours of unreleased material.
Another photo shows Epstein and Bannon taking a mirror selfie, and another photo shows Bannon talking to director Woody Allen, who is accused of sexually assaulting a minor.
Former President Bill Clinton appeared to caption one photo of himself smiling next to Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
Other prominent figures who appeared in the photographs included Bill Gates and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers.
Three of the photographs depicted sex toys, including a gag.
