Unredacted photographs from the estate of the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein show President Donald Trump posing with adult women, according to images reviewed by the New York Post. The photos were among materials released Friday by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, though the publicly released versions blurred the faces of women standing beside Trump. The redactions sparked speculation, but unredacted images indicate the women were adults who appeared to be professional models, not minors or victims connected to Epstein.
The Post identified the women as models associated with the suntan brand Hawaiian Tropic. One woman pictured alongside Trump and others wearing Hawaiian leis said the future president behaved respectfully at the event. Speaking to the Telegraph, she described Trump as a “gentleman,” recalling that she was 22 at the time and remembered him being very nice and attentive to ensuring the group enjoyed their evening at Mar-a-Lago. Trump responded that he had not seen the photos and said Epstein was widely known in Palm Beach, adding that many people had photos with him.
The Oversight Committee received roughly 95,000 images from Epstein’s estate but released only a small number publicly. The photos included figures from politics, business, and entertainment. Meanwhile, Chairman James Comer warned that former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton could face contempt of Congress charges if they fail to comply with subpoenas seeking testimony about their associations with Epstein.
