President Donald Trump dismissed newly released photos showing him with Jeffrey Epstein and multiple women as "no big deal" on December 12, 2025. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said he hadn't seen the images but noted, "Everybody knew this man... He has photos with everybody... there are hundreds and hundreds of people that have them," emphasizing that such associations were commonplace in Palm Beach social circles.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released 19 photos (later expanded to nearly 90) from over 95,000 images obtained from Epstein's estate. The undated pictures depict Trump in social settings with unidentified women (faces redacted), alongside figures like former President Bill Clinton (with Ghislaine Maxwell), Steve Bannon, Bill Gates, Woody Allen, Richard Branson, Larry Summers, and Alan Dershowitz. No images suggest criminal activity by those pictured.

Committee Democrats called the photos "disturbing," urging the Justice Department to release full Epstein investigative files by the December 19 deadline under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Ranking Member Robert Garcia stated they "raise even more questions" about Epstein's elite connections and demanded an end to any "White House cover-up."

The White House and House Republicans accused Democrats of "cherry-picking" and selectively redacting images to fabricate a narrative against Trump, noting no evidence of wrongdoing and highlighting the administration's prior document releases.

Trump has long distanced himself from Epstein, denying knowledge of his crimes despite a past friendship. The photos—separate from forthcoming DOJ files—have intensified partisan debates as the release deadline approaches, with no new allegations against the president.
