House Obtains 95,000 Epstein Photos: Trump, Clinton Named
The faces blacked out belong to survivors. The faces visible belong to men who will never face consequences. This is how power works.
On December 12, 2025, ninety-five thousand photographs landed in the public consciousness like a bomb. Not from the Department of Justice. From the estate of Jeffrey Epstein himself.
The House Oversight Committee Democrats released the first batch. Nineteen images. Then seventy more. They promised thousands more to come. Every photograph a window into a world that operated in plain sight while survivors screamed into the void.
The images show what power looks like when it thinks no one is watching.
Donald Trump. Bill Clinton. Steve Bannon. Prince Andrew. Bill Gates. Woody Allen. Larry Summers. Men whose names move markets and shape nations, captured in the intimate spaces of a convicted sex offender’s life. On private jets. At parties with women whose faces are now blacked out by the Committee—redacted not for the privacy of celebrities, but because these women might be victims.
That redaction is the most damning detail of all.
Ranking Member Robert Garcia explained the protocol with brutal clarity: redact any photo that could lead to any sort of harm to any of the victims. The implication hangs in the air like smoke. Those blurred faces in the party photos with Trump? Those weren’t socialites. Those weren’t willing participants in some harmless networking event. Those were potential survivors of a trafficking operation that everyone in those photos should have seen.
The images came from a trove of ninety-five thousand. The Committee has reviewed roughly a quarter of them. They plan to release more in the days and weeks ahead. This is not a data dump. This is a drip campaign. Photo by photo, the architecture of complicity is being exposed.
Consider what that means. Ninety-five thousand photographs. Not from some secret FBI raid. From Epstein’s own collection. He documented it all. He kept trophies. He maintained a visual archive of his power network—a Rolodex of the elite that he could flip through whenever he wanted to remember who owed him, who knew him, who couldn’t escape him.
The Trump photos tell a story the White House desperately wants to rewrite. One image shows Trump at a party, wearing a lei, surrounded by six women. Their faces are gone. Blacked out. Another captures him on a private aircraft—likely one of Epstein’s jets—seated beside a blonde woman. Face redacted. A third shows him in easy conversation with Epstein and another woman, everyone relaxed, everyone comfortable.
Trump’s defense is familiar: Epstein was all over Palm Beach and had photos with everybody. It’s the normalization strategy. If everyone took photos with a sex trafficker, then no one is responsible for taking photos with a sex trafficker.
But here’s what the President can’t explain away: the bowl of novelty condoms found in Epstein’s home, packaged in red wrappers featuring a caricature of Trump’s face with the slogan I’m HUUUUGE! Price tag visible: four dollars and fifty cents. Trump as a commodity. Trump as a joke. Trump as merchandise in a predator’s playpen.
The White House calls this a Democrat hoax. Press Secretary Abigail Jackson accused Democrats of selectively releasing cherry-picked photos and making targeted redactions to create a false narrative. The President himself signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law on November 19, 2025—the bill that mandates the Department of Justice release all Epstein-related files by December 19. He signed it because the House passed it 427 to 1. A veto-proof margin. He had no choice.
But compliance and transparency are not the same thing. Trump signed the law while calling the investigation a hoax. He told reporters, I couldn’t care less… I don’t know anything about that, but I have said to Pam and everybody else, give them everything you can give them because it’s a Democrat hoax.
That’s the game. Sign the law. Release the files. But poison the well first so no one believes what they see.
The Democrats released photos of Bill Clinton too. Standing with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The photograph appears to be autographed by Clinton. Signed. Memorialized. A keepsake of a friendship Clinton now claims was casual and limited.
You don’t autograph photos for people you barely know.
Steve Bannon appears in three images. The former Trump strategist, the architect of the America First movement, the man who promised to drain the swamp—taking a mirror selfie with Jeffrey Epstein. Another photo shows him chatting with Epstein at a social event. A third captures him with Woody Allen.
The selfie is the most intimate format of photography. Two people leaning in together. Faces close. Capturing a moment they both want to remember.
This is the populist hero. This is the man who claimed to represent forgotten Americans. In Epstein’s orbit. In Epstein’s photographs. In Epstein’s world.
The images from Little St. James island are quieter but more disturbing. A fully equipped dentist’s office. Yellow chair. Medical-grade equipment. On a private island. Why would guests need dental care that couldn’t be obtained on the mainland? What procedures were performed behind those walls?
Photographs of sex toys and restraints. A printed instruction book on Shibari—Japanese rope bondage. Black latex gloves with ridges. These items sit in evidence files now, silent testimony to the machinery of control.
A telephone with a visible speed-dial list. Names like Darren, Mike, Larry, Rich. Others redacted. The mundane infrastructure of abuse. The operational network that made it all function.
The House Oversight Democrats frame this as a mission to end this White House cover-up and bring justice to the survivors. Republicans call it shameful and politics above justice. The White House points to Democrats who allegedly solicited money from Epstein after his 2008 conviction—Representatives Stacey Plaskett and Hakeem Jeffries.
Both sides throw accusations. Both sides claim moral high ground. Meanwhile, the photographs keep coming. The evidence keeps mounting. And the December 19 deadline approaches.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act requires the Department of Justice to release all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials. FBI agent notes. Witness interviews. Surveillance photos. Video evidence. Autopsy reports. Internal communications about charging decisions and immunity deals. All of it. Searchable and downloadable.
The DOJ can withhold files only if they’re classified for national security or would jeopardize an active federal investigation. Everything else must come out.
Seven days remain.
If the DOJ complies fully, the Trump Administration faces short-term political pain but long-term inoculation. If they heavily redact or withhold documents, they validate every accusation of a cover-up. The House Democrats already have ninety-five thousand photos from the estate. They can prove what the DOJ is hiding.
The survivors of Epstein’s trafficking operation have waited years for this moment. For the photographs to be released. For the files to be unsealed. For the powerful men in those images to be forced to explain what they knew and when they knew it.
They deserve more than political theater. They deserve more than both parties weaponizing their trauma. They deserve the truth.
Seventy-one thousand photos remain unreleased from the estate collection. The DOJ deadline is in seven days. The House Democrats plan to keep releasing images weekly.
Photo by photo, the wall of silence is crumbling. The question is no longer whether these men associated with Epstein. The photographs prove they did. The question is what they saw, what they knew, and what they chose to ignore while survivors suffered in rooms just like the ones captured in these images.
The camera doesn’t lie. And Epstein documented everything.
My latest. Keep RESTACKING and sharing!

Excellent headline. We know what the words say on paper. But to the tribal outrage fanatics, they see “Trump appears in 95,000 photos on the island.”
Don’t be a click.
