Another image showing Donald Trump socializing with women in bikinis surfaced in the recent disclosure of Jeffrey Epstein files. The Justice Department unveiled a heavily censored collection of evidence obtained during the investigation into the infamous American sex offender. The files predominantly feature pictures of Epstein’s properties in New York and Little St James Island, taken during law enforcement raids.
Among the contents are some of the private photos from Epstein’s assortment, varying from explicit to those displaying well-known personalities and celebrities. Being included in these files does not imply any involvement in Epstein’s illicit activities. Numerous photos seem to have been taken during a trip to Asia that Epstein embarked on with Bill Clinton, capturing moments of the former President relaxing in a pool. Notable figures like Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, Michael Jackson, Kevin Spacey, Mick Jagger, Peter Mandelson, and Sir Richard Branson also make appearances in the images.
In the most recent release, the current President only appears in a single photo. This image portrays a sideboard adorned with framed photos in Epstein’s residence in New York, revealing additional pictures inside an open drawer. Two of these images feature Donald Trump, with one depicting the President alongside his wife Melania and Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s associate and occasional partner, who is currently imprisoned for sex trafficking. The other unreleased photo seemingly shows a younger Trump enjoying the company of four elegantly dressed women, two of whom are in bikinis.
Earlier this month, a distinct unseen picture of Trump socializing with young women surfaced in a set of documents provided to the House Judiciary Committee by the Epstein estate. Following the photo releases, various White House officials, including press secretary Karoline Leavitt and top aide Steven Cheung, shared social media posts highlighting the images involving President Clinton.
Trump has repeatedly tried to divert attention from his connections to Epstein by insinuating links between Clinton, other Democrats, and Epstein. He evaded discussing the matter as he departed the White House late Friday to deliver a speech in North Carolina.
In a statement, Clinton’s spokesperson, Angel Ureña, emphasized that the Epstein investigation does not revolve around Bill Clinton. Ureña differentiated between individuals who distanced themselves from Epstein upon learning of his crimes and those who maintained ties afterward, asserting that Clinton belongs to the former group. Clinton has not faced any allegations of wrongdoing by Epstein’s known victims.
Even before the Department of Justice’s document release containing photos of Clinton, Republicans had focused on the former president and his association with Epstein. The House Oversight Committee’s Republican members had issued subpoenas to both Bill and Hillary Clinton for depositions earlier this year. However, the Clintons requested to provide a written statement due to their limited knowledge of Epstein. Rep. James Comer, the committee’s Republican chair, demanded their presence for in-person testimonies and warned of potential contempt of Congress actions if they failed to comply.
While several former presidents have voluntarily testified before Congress, none have been compelled to do so.
