A long list of powerful people, including President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton, are shown with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in more than a dozen photographs released Friday by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.

The photographs are among 95,000 images that Epstein’s estate turned over to the Committee, which has been investigating Epstein’s sex trafficking organization and his ties to other people who may have been involved in his crimes.

Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said in a statement that the latest production from the estate contained “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.”

Trump himself is pictured in three photos. One photo shows what appears to be a bowl of condoms with Trump’s face on them next to the words “I’m HUUUUGE!” with a sign that reads: “Trump condom $4.50.”

In another, Trump is next to a group of six women in necklaces that appear to be Hawaiian leis. The setting is unclear, but in December 2015, Epstein offered former New York Times reporter Landon Thomas Jr. photos of Trump with girls in bikinis in his kitchen, and called a woman a “Hawaiian tropic girl.”

Other photos appear to show objects used during sex — restraints, toys and a “Jawbreaker Gag.”

Also pictured are former Harvard President Larry Summers, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, the former Prince Andrew, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, billionaire Richard Branson, director Woody Allen and Epstein’s convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.

 

While only 19 photos were released to the public Friday, Garcia indicated that they were reviewing the others to ensure that victims’ images are redacted or removed from public view altogether.

Many of the men have previously been linked to Epstein. But they nevertheless represent a powerful piece of evidence showing how close Epstein was to some of the most iconic, powerful and wealthiest people in the country.

The photos aren’t dated and do not show any sexual activity. But they do show Epstein’s sexual proclivities involving sex toys and there is at least one photo on his desk that appears to show a partially naked woman.

The new photos follow a release last month of more than 20,000 documents that showed how the convicted sex trafficker continued to mingle with an extraordinary network of figures across the world — even after his crimes became public knowledge. Those figures include people in academics, politics, foreign affairs, banking and business.

The emails also showed that former White House chief strategist and right-wing provocateur, Steve Bannon, who is also shown with Epstein in one photo, closely advised Epstein on how to handle the fallout after the Miami Herald published a series in 2018 about his crimes. Epstein in turn, helped Bannon with an effort to build a political movement in Europe.

Epstein, in previous emails, also offered insight to various people into Trump, claiming that he was close to Trump and knew his way of thinking.
