NEWLY released photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate show several elite figures from former Prince Andrew to Donald Trump, Woody Allen and Richard Branson.
The bombshell snaps were released by Trump’s Democrat enemies in the House Oversight Committee on Friday, showing a string of powerful figures in the convicted sex trafficker’s orbit.

There is no suggestion that these images suggest misconduct, and many of the individuals shown have denied any involvement in wrongdoing connected to Epstein.
The release includes snaps of former President Bill Clinton, ex-White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, and others.
Lawmakers reported receiving 95,000 images from Epstein’s estate, but the Dems released just 19 of them, apparently selecting those they believed would be the most shocking and newsworthy.
The 19 photographs show how closely Epstein once mixed with some of the world’s most influential men, even as scrutiny over those relationships intensifies.

In response to the latest tranche of pics, Trump said he knew “nothing about it” and has not seen them.
The President said: “There are hundreds and hundreds of people that have photos with him, so that’s no big deal.”
One image shows what appears to be a bowl of novelty condoms featuring a caricature of Trump’s face.
A sign reads, “Trump condom $4.50,” and each condom bears the slogan, “I’m HUUUUGE!”

Another photo shows Trump standing with six women wearing leis, with their faces redacted by the committee.
Other images include Epstein posing with Steve Bannon in a mirror selfie, and Bill Clinton pictured with Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and another couple.
Another image is an old snap showing Bill Gates standing alongside former Prince Andrew at the 2018 Malaria Forum conference in London.
That picture had already been published by Reuters years ago.
Former Harvard President Larry Summers and lawyer Alan Dershowitz also appear in photos said to have been taken at Epstein-linked properties.
None of the released images depict sexual misconduct or are believed to show underage girls.
And it remains unclear when or where the photos were taken, or who took them.
The latest snaps were obtained by the committee as part of its ongoing investigation into Epstein’s activities.
They also released a second tranche of pictures showing the inside of another Epstein-linked property.
Democrats have been accused by allies of the President of desperately trying to paint Trump as a close associate of Epstein – a claim Trump has fervently denied.
The US president has repeatedly said he cut ties years ago and has been keen to draw a line under any association with the disgraced financier.
Clinton has never been accused by law enforcement of wrongdoing related to Epstein.
His spokesperson has repeatedly said he cut ties with Epstein before his 2019 federal arrest and was unaware of his crimes.
A spokesperson for Gates has denied that Epstein ever worked for him.
Gates has previously said he regrets meeting Epstein, telling CNN’s Anderson Cooper in 2021: “It was a huge mistake to spend time with him, to give him the credibility of being there.”
Others linked to Epstein have faced professional fallout despite not being accused of crimes.
Summers took leave from Harvard and resigned from OpenAI’s board, saying he was “deeply ashamed” of maintaining ties to Epstein.
And former Prince Andrew relinquished the use of his royal titles and has denied all allegations of misconduct.
Lawmakers have already released tens of thousands of documents, emails and communications from the estate that continue to fuel new lines of inquiry.
In a letter sent Thursday, lawyers for the Epstein estate said the committee could review videos and photographs “taken at any property owned, rented, operated, or used by Epstein from January 1, 1990 through August 10, 2019.”
The lawyers wrote: “Like yesterday’s production, it also includes documents that may not be responsive, but that the Estate was unable to confirm whether they were taken at a property owned, rented, operated, or used by Epstein.
“The Estate has provided minimal redactions to these photographs; the redactions are limited to nudity.”
Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said the latest release included “over 95,000 photos, including images of the wealthy and powerful men who spent time with Jeffrey Epstein” and “thousands of photographs of women and Epstein properties.”
Garcia said: “It is time to end this White House cover-up and bring justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends.
“These disturbing photos raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world.
“We will not rest until the American people get the truth. The Department of Justice must release all the files, NOW.”
