President Donald Trump said newly released photos showing he and Jeffrey Epstein mingling with several women were “no big deal,” but later claimed he had not seen them.
“Everybody knew this man [Epstein] – he was all over Palm Beach,” he told reporters Friday evening. “He has photos with everybody... there are hundreds and hundreds of people that have them.”
“That's no big deal... I know nothing about them."
Trump has not been criminally charged or accused of wrongdoing and has consistently denied close involvement with Epstein in the later years of the convicted sex offender’s life.
It comes after House Democrats shared two tranches of photos from Epstein’s estate, which include numerous famous faces such as the president, former president Bill Clinton, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and Britain’s former Prince Andrew.
The faces of some of the women who feature in the photos have been redacted by the Democrats, who have vowed to continue releasing photos.
"Once again, House Democrats are selectively releasing cherry-picked photos with random redactions to try and create a false narrative,” Abigail Jackson, White House deputy press secretary, told The Independent.
The release of the photos comes ahead of a deadline for the Department of Justice to release the full files.

Reports claimed the disgraced royal passed his Metropolitan Police protection officer, Ms Guiffre’s date of birth and social security number and asked them to dig up dirt on her in 2011.
The Met said it was looking into the claims after the revelations emerged in a series of leaked emails seen by the Mail on Sunday.

He made the comments on Friday night to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on The Source. The segment aired hours after the House Oversight Democrats released a trove of photos from the Epstein estate, some of which include President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton.
Garcia said the photos contain “many, many” images of women, and that the oversight panel is ensuring that the individuals featured in the photos are protected.
He said some of the photos are “very disturbing” and feature “women, and their conditions,” though he did not elaborate on that comment.
Collins pressed him, telling Garcia he made it sound like there were images of women being “assaulted or in sexual acts.”
Garcia did not confirm or deny what was in the photos, only that they were “disturbing.”
“I think what I would say is that there are very disturbing photos, and many of those photos we have are not just of the island… but also of women,” he said. “And I think it’s something that is concerning to us because at the end of the day we’re going to protect the identities of the survivors and we’re working with the survivors very closely to ensure that we don’t reveal information that can be damaging to any of them.”

Conservative pundit Scott Jennings complains that Democrats are trying to unfairly link Trump to Epstein
12:30 , Graig GraziosiConservative pundit and radio host Scott Jennings claimed that Democrats, in trying to link President Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, only succeeded in linking fellow Democrats to the alleged sex trafficker.
“They have tried to create a narrative that Trump had something to do with Epstein, and all we now know is, is that a lot of Democrats have something to do with Epstein,” he said on CNN’s The Source on Friday night.
His comments come after the House Oversight Democrats released a trove of photos from Epstein’s estate, some of which include Trump, former President Bill Clinton, and Trump’s former advisor Steve Bannon, among others.
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins pushed back on Jennings’ comments, noting that Democrats were knowingly releasing photos that included members of their own party. She asked why they would do that if all they wanted to do was weave a narrative about Trump and Epstein.
“Well look, those guys [Clinton, etc] are already roadkill… we already know about that,” Jennings said.
He then insisted there was not a “single shred of evidence or any credible allegations that Trump did anything wrong at all or had anything to do with this, period.”
Jennings added that the president signed a law forcing the release of the Epstein files as a point proving he did nothing wrong, but CNN’s Van Jones questioned that argument, noting Trump only signed the law “under massive pressure.”

Democrats had Republicans on the run with health care – then they dropped new Epstein pictures instead
07:30 , Graig GraziosiWith only six legislative days left on the House calendar for the rest of the year, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee Friday decided to drop a trove of new photos the committee received from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein.
The photos specifically show the late convicted sex offender with such famous faces as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Bill Gates, former president Bill Clinton and Donald Trump. In particular, one photo shows Trump, years before his first presidency, surrounded by six women. Trump has distanced himself from Epstein and has not been accused of any wrongdoing.
The selective release of the photos comes a full week before the legally mandated deadline for the Department of Justice to release all files related to Epstein. For those who may not remember, last month, Congress passed legislation to force the department to release the files within 30 days. The drop-dead date is next Friday.

Republicans on the committee then released thousands of other messages, including emails to and from Epstein and others in his circle, including his attorneys, journalists, author Michael Wolff, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and Deepak Chopra, among many others.
Trump is repeatedly mentioned in messages to and from Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019. There also is correspondence from his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 on sex trafficking charges.
