The nearly 100,000 photos obtained by House Democrats from the estate of notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein include images of President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, film director Woody Allen and former Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon, among others in social settings.
One of the photos released Friday morning showed Trump standing in the middle of a line of six women whose faces were covered by Democrats before they were released. Some of the women wear Hawaiian leis around their necks.
In another photo, Trump is seen standing behind Epstein at what appears to be a social event. In the third photo, Trump is seen sitting next to a woman with a blackened face in a vehicle that looks like an airplane.
Trump was a longtime friend of Epstein’s before the two men had a falling out sometime in the early 2000s. He has not been charged with any crimes in connection with Epstein and has denied having knowledge that Epstein was abusing girls and women while they were his friends.
CNBC requested comment from the White House.
In one photo, Clinton stands with Epstein, his now-convicted procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, and another man and woman. Clinton’s signature is on the photo.
Other photos show former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Britain’s Prince Andrew, and Epstein’s onetime lawyer Alan Dershowitz.

As part of the statement made on Friday, the dates, locations and contexts of the photographs were not disclosed.
CNBC is reaching out to people named in the photos who deny the crimes. This story will be updated with their responses.
“This latest production contains more than 95,000 photographs, including images of rich and powerful men spending time with Jeffrey Epstein,” the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said in a statement. The statement was included.
“The images also include thousands of photographs of women and Epstein property,” the statement said. “Committee Democrats are reviewing all of the photographs and will continue to release them publicly in the coming days and weeks. Committee Democrats are committed to protecting the identities of the survivors.”

California Representative Robert Garcia, one of the committee’s top Democrats, said in a statement: “It is time to end this White House cover-up and bring justice to Jeffrey Epstein’s survivors and his powerful friends.”
“These disturbing photos raise more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. We will not rest until the American people know the truth. The Department of Justice must release the full files NOW.”
Trump and top law enforcement officials in his administration resisted the idea of releasing investigative files related to Epstein and Maxwell for months before Congress in November overwhelmingly passed a law mandating the release of those files by the Justice Department.
These files, which differ from those released by Democrats on Friday, have not yet been made public.
Epstein died by suicide in prison in August 2019, weeks after he was arrested on child sex trafficking charges filed by the Justice Department during Trump’s first term in office.
Maxwell is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for her 2021 conviction on charges related to enabling underage girls to be sexually abused by Epstein.

“President Clinton knows nothing about the horrific crimes to which Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida several years ago or the crimes for which he was recently charged in New York,” Clinton spokeswoman Angel Urena said in July 2019.
“In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops connected to the work of the Clinton Foundation. Staff, supporters of the Foundation, and his Secret Service team traveled on each leg of each trip,” Urena said. he said.
“In 2002, he had a meeting with Epstein at his office in Harlem and, around the same time, made a brief visit to Epstein’s apartment in New York with a staff and security team. He did not speak to Epstein in more than a decade and never went to Little St. James Island, Epstein’s ranch in New Mexico or his home in Florida.”
