Donald Trump shrugged off his inclusion in photos released as part of the latest Jeffrey Epstein files drop that included photos of the president with the pedophile financier.
The House Oversight Committee’s latest release included dozens of images amid the 95,000 files, many showing the late pedophile with the rich and powerful, including Trump.
Many anticipated Trump’s response to the photos, especially after the president showed up over three hours late to a scheduled bill signing Friday.
However, Trump was not particularly bothered by any of this and seemed to indicate that he was just one of many photographed with Epstein.
‘I mean, everybody knew this man. He was all over, actually,’ Trump said.
‘I haven’t seen it, but, I mean, everybody knew this man. He was all over Palm Beach. He has photos with everybody. I mean, there are hundreds and hundreds of people that have photos with him. So that’s no big deal. I know nothing about.’
The president is seen in three images released by Democrats, including two of him with women with redacted identities. The other image shows Trump next to Epstein. Another image shows Trump’s likeness on a bunch condom with the caption ‘I’m HUUUUGE.’
The photos do not implicate any of the individuals in Epstein’s crimes, though they do offer insights into the mysterious financier’s personal life and relationships.
Trump is pictured with a blonde woman whose face is redacted in one of the images. Another shows Trump with Epstein walking through a party.
In another image, Trump can be seen with six women whose faces are censored by the committee at an unknown date and place.
Despite socializing together in the 1990’s and early 2000’s, the president has sought to distance himself from the alleged sex trafficker, and has called the push to release files on the late financier ‘a Democratic hoax.’
Other images showed ex-President Bill Clinton, movie producer Woody Allen, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, royal family member Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, professor Alan Dershowitz, VirginGroup founder Richard Branson, Steve Bannon, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and more.
The Epstein estate provided the House Oversight Committee with the images as part of the lawmakers’ investigation into the pedophile.
It is unclear why House Democrats have chosen to release these specific photos.
‘These disturbing photos raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world,’ said Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee. ‘We will not rest until the American people get the truth.’
White House spokesman Abigail Jackson said Friday: ‘Once again, House Democrats are selectively releasing cherry-picked photos with random redactions to try and create a false narrative.
‘Here’s the reality: Democrats like Stacey Plaskett and Hakeem Jeffries were soliciting money and meetings from Epstein after he was a convicted sex offender.
‘The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been repeatedly debunked and the Trump Administration has done more for Epstein’s victims than Democrats ever have by repeatedly calling for transparency, releasing thousands of pages of documents, and calling for further investigations into Epstein’s Democrat friends.
‘It’s time for the media to stop regurgitating Democrat talking points and start asking Democrats why they wanted to hang around Epstein after he was convicted.’
Former president Bill Clinton is seen in a photo with Epstein and his now-convicted mistress Ghislaine Maxwell alongside another man and woman. The photo appears to have Clinton’s signature.
In addition to the pictures of Epstein and the many celebrities, there were also more questionable images released.
One showed a black latex glove with ribbed fingers. Another showed sex toys and pornographic material.
