On December 13, 2025, Professor Scott Lucas’ voice dropped to a grave whisper on Times Radio as he dissected the “disturbing” trove of Epstein estate photos released by House Democrats on December 12, his eyes widening: “Trump is extremely worried—this keeps the pressure boiling.”
Lucas, a U.S. politics expert at University College Dublin, joined host Maddie Hale to analyze the second batch of images from Epstein’s 95,000-file cache, including Trump grinning with redacted women, Bill Clinton beaming beside Epstein and Maxwell, Bill Gates with former Prince Andrew, Woody Allen chatting, Steve Bannon in a mirror selfie, and Richard Branson beachside. “These aren’t new crimes,” Lucas cautioned, “but the visual proximity—post-2008 conviction—fuels the narrative of elite protectionism.” He noted Trump’s White House dismissal as a “hoax” and Bondi’s delays under the Transparency Act’s December 19 deadline, suggesting political calculus: “Trump signed the Act to claim credit, but the drip-feed keeps him on defense—worried about what’s next.”
Lucas tied the photos to Giuffre’s Nobody’s Girl (October 21, 2025), calling them “visual echoes of her testimony.” The segment, trending with 2.8 million X posts under #EpsteinPhotos2 (70% demanding unredacted files), amplified bipartisan pressure. “This isn’t fading,” Lucas warned. “It’s boiling—and Trump knows it.”
