House Democrats dropped a bombshell on Friday, Dec. 12, revealing 19 newly surfaced photos taken from Jeffrey Epstein’s private stash.
The images come after investigators reportedly received more than 95,000 photos once owned by the late convicted sex offender.
These first snapshots feature well‑known figures in a range of social settings, but none directly show anyone committing a crime.
Still, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee say the visuals raise serious questions and pressure the Department of Justice to fully open Epstein’s files to the public.
An individual being photographed or named in relation to Epstein does not indicate wrongdoing.
Breakdown of the 19 Newly Released Photos
Below is a rundown of each of the 19 images that were made public Friday.
1. Donald Trump Surrounded by Women
One photo shows Donald Trump posing with at least six women, all of whose faces have been redacted by the House Oversight Committee for privacy reasons. It’s unclear whether these women were victims of Epstein or redacted for other purposes.
Responding to the release, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told PEOPLE: "Once again, House Democrats are selectively releasing cherry‑picked photos with random redactions to try and create a false narrative."
After accusing some Democrats of having apparent ties to Epstein even after his 2008 conviction, Jackson added: "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," she concluded.

2. Bill Gates With Prince Andrew Photo
A professional photo of Bill Gates and Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew) was among the photos — though it was not taken by Epstein and appears cropped to remove King Charles.
In the original Getty Images version, Gates is speaking with then‑Princes Andrew and Charles at the 2018 Commonwealth Business Forum in London.

3. Trump With Epstein at a Party
Another photo shows Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein at what appears to be a Victoria’s Secret “Angels” party in 1997. The woman visible in this shot is identified in a similar Getty Images photo as Belgian model Ingrid Seynhaeve.

4. Bill Clinton Signature Photo
A framed picture shows former President Bill Clinton’s signature on a photo of himself with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. To the left are late musician Jimmy Buffett and his wife, Jane Slagsvol.
Clinton’s spokesperson has long maintained that the former president “knows nothing about” Epstein’s sex crimes and the sex trafficking charges Epstein faced at the time of his death in 2019. A recently unearthed email from Epstein also suggests Clinton did not visit Epstein’s private island.

5. Trump‑Branded Condoms in Epstein Files
One odd find in Epstein’s photo stash was a pack of Donald Trump‑branded condoms featuring the catchphrase “I'm HUUUUGE.” The satirical product was seen in a bin at Manhattan home goods store Fishs Eddy, where they sold for $4.50 each.

13. Larry Summers on a Plane
Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers is on a plane with Woody Allen and a woman The Boston Globe identifies as Summers’ wife, Harvard Professor Elisa New.
Summers stepped back from some public roles after emails showed he stayed in contact with Epstein long after Epstein became a convicted sex offender.
Summers wrote while resigning from the OpenAI board in November: “I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused," Summers wrote. "I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein."

17/18/19. Sex Toys and Kink Gear Photos
The final three dropped images — which we have opted not to publish — show a range of sex toys and BDSM accessories with no provided context.
One shot shows a hand wearing a ribbed black rubber glove.
Another includes a warning tag for a “Jawbreaker Gag,” reading in part: “Always observe a person who has a gag in their mouth. Never leave that person unattended. The Jawbreaker Gag will cause a person's mouth to produce more saliva than a regular gag and create a choking hazard if the person is unattended or inverted for any reason.
"It is possible for a person to vomit and suffocate even while standing, so extreme care and caution must be exercised with the use of this product. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious INJURY or DEATH.”
The final image features a pile of kink gear including rope and a shibari instruction book, a catalog of “Extreme Restraints,” nipple clamps and a “Penis Pump.”
