A fresh batch of photos has been made public. These photos show some well-known figures hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein. The pictures don't show any crimes, but they do give a peek into Epstein's social circle.
Among the faces are Steve Bannon, a former Trump advisor, chatting with Epstein in an office. There's also a shot of Bill Gates near what looks like Epstein's private jet. Former President Clinton is seen with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's long-time friend. Woody Allen, the famous filmmaker, is pictured with Epstein on a movie set. And there's a photo of President Trump with six women whose identities are unknown.
These images are part of a larger collection of over 95, 000 photos that were handed over to a House committee. They were released without details about when or where the photos were taken. This has raised more questions about Epstein's connections and the people around him.
Rep. Robert Garcia, a top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said these photos are concerning. He wants the Department of Justice to release all the files related to Epstein. He believes the American people deserve the full truth.
Trump has denied knowing about Epstein's illegal activities. But some emails suggest he might have known more than he has said. Trump initially tried to block the release of these files, but later agreed to make them public. However, some lawmakers are still skeptical about whether the Justice Department will fully disclose the information.
Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died in prison in 2019. His associate, Maxwell, is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in a sex-trafficking scheme with Epstein.
