\"Analysis\"Photos underline Epstein’s ties to the rich and powerfulpublished at 16:03 GMT<\/p>\n

Congressional Democrats just threw another log on the smouldering fire that is the Jeffrey Epstein story.<\/p>\n

The circumstances behind the 19 photographs just released are unclear. At least one, of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, is nothing more than a cropped wire service image.<\/p>\n

But the images of Trump \u2013 smiling while surrounded by group of lei-wearing young women, hovering over Epstein\u2019s shoulder in a conversation and sitting next to a redacted blonde woman \u2013 provide yet another reminder that the president and Epstein once were part of the same social circle.<\/p>\n

Other photos – of Trump adviser Steve Bannon, former President Bill Clinton and director Woody Allen, among others – also underline, yet again, Epstein\u2019s ties to the rich and powerful.<\/p>\n

When the Democrats published a selection of Epstein emails that mentioned Trump last month, Congressional Republicans responded by releasing a full trove of documents numbering more than 23,000 pages.<\/p>\n

According to Democratic Congressman Robert Garcia, the House Oversight Committee has received approximately 95,000 new photos. If Republicans follow a similar strategy after today\u2019s revelations, there could be plenty of material for journalists \u2013 and other interested parties \u2013 to pick through.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the 19 December Congressionally-mandated deadline for the justice department to release whatever Epstein files it possesses draws closer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photos underline Epstein’s ties to the rich and powerfulpublished at 16:03 GMT 16:03 GMT Anthony ZurcherNorth America correspondent…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":278751,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-312458","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312458"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312458\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/278751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=312458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=312458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
