Unredacted Trump photos spark Epstein connection questions

Unredacted photos of President Donald Trump at Jeffrey Epstein’s estate have just surfaced, and they’re stirring up a storm of speculation about old ties to the disgraced financier.

Exclusive images obtained by The Post reveal Trump posing with glamorous adult women models, part of a massive 95,000-photo trove from Epstein’s estate released by the House Oversight Committee on Friday, alongside snapshots of other high-profile figures.

Newsmax reported that Democrats on the Committee dropped 19 images early that Friday, including two of Trump with women whose faces were obscured, sparking wild guesses that they might be Epstein’s victims.

Speculation ran rampant until The Post got hold of the unredacted versions, showing Trump with five Hawaiian Tropic models, clearing up the mystery of those blacked-out faces.

One striking photo, thought to be from 1998 at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida estate, captures him with six women in Hawaiian leis, all representing the suntan lotion brand, looking more like a promotional event than anything sinister.

Another shot, taken on what appears to be a private jet, shows Trump with a loosened tie next to a blonde woman—definitely not Melania or Marla Maples—whose identity remains hidden in the public release due to redactions requested by Epstein’s legal team.

Epstein’s Photo Trove Unveils Elite Circle

By Friday night, the Committee released about 70 more images, including bizarre ones like a naked Epstein in a bubble bath, alongside pictures of powerful names like Woody Allen, Bill Gates, and former President Bill Clinton.

Steve Bannon pops up too, as does a photo of a lounging woman on Epstein’s desk, painting a picture of a man who collected connections with the elite like some collect baseball cards.

Also featured are Richard Branson, Alan Dershowitz, and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, reminding us just how wide Epstein’s web of influence stretched across politics, business, and royalty.

Trump himself shrugged off the buzz, saying, “Well, I haven’t seen it, but I mean, everybody knew this man,” as reported in the news data, suggesting Epstein was just a familiar face in Palm Beach circles.

He added, “There are hundreds and hundreds of people that have photos with him so that’s no big [deal],” downplaying any deeper connection, which seems fair when you consider how many big names are in this photo dump.

Call it a classic case of guilt-by-association panic—while the left might want to paint this as a gotcha moment, the reality looks more like a snapshot of a bygone era’s social scene than evidence of wrongdoing.

Models Recall Polite Interactions

One of the women photographed with Trump at Mar-a-Lago told the Telegraph, “I was 22 years old and remember him being very nice,” offering a glimpse of a cordial, not creepy, encounter.

While progressive voices might rush to spin these images into something darker, let’s stick to the facts: these are adult models at public events, not hidden victims, and the rush to judgment feels like another tired attempt to smear by proximity.
