Washington, D.C. – December 21, 2025 – Recently released photographs from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate have thrust both President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton back into the spotlight, depicting the two political rivals in separate but striking associations with the convicted sex offender, underscoring Epstein’s deep ties to America’s most powerful figures.
House Democrats on the Oversight Committee unveiled batches of images from over 95,000 photos subpoenaed from Epstein’s estate, including undated shots showing Trump socializing at events with Epstein and young women, some with faces redacted for privacy. One image captures Trump alongside Epstein, while others feature novelty items like Trump-branded condoms. Separately, photos show Clinton posing with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, including a signed portrait of Clinton flanked by the pair.
These estate images, released in tranches throughout December, coincide with the Justice Department’s partial disclosure of investigative files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The DOJ’s Friday release highlighted Clinton prominently—relaxing in a hot tub, swimming with Maxwell, and appearing in multiple group shots—while Trump’s mentions were sparse, mostly pre-existing public photos or a briefly posted drawer image that vanished overnight.
Critics accuse the DOJ of selective emphasis, spotlighting Clinton to deflect from Trump’s documented decade-long friendship with Epstein. A New York Times report detailed their bond over pursuing women, with Trump once calling Epstein a “terrific guy.” Clinton, who flew on Epstein’s plane multiple times, has denied knowledge of crimes.
Bipartisan backlash mounts over redactions and missing files, including a fully blacked-out grand jury transcript. Victims like those echoing Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl—detailing her exploitation—demand full unredacted releases. Maria Farmer’s validated 1996 complaint against Epstein adds weight to calls for accountability.
As insiders warn of more revelations, these photos—placing Trump and Clinton in Epstein’s orbit—revive questions about elite complicity. Neither president faces accusations in Epstein’s trafficking crimes, but the visuals fuel public demands for transparency amid suspicions of protection for the powerful.
