The US president, who was friends with Epstein, has his arms around two of the women, who are wearing Hawaiian leis around their necks. Mr Trump has said that he ended his friendship with Epstein, who died in 2019 while on trial for sex trafficking, long before he was first convicted in 2008. Another showed Trump with six women whose faces have been redacted by the committee.
Jeffrey Epstein (1953–2019) was an American financier and convicted sex offender whose life and criminal activities became the center of major international attention. Though he presented himself as a wealthy investor with powerful social connections, investigations later revealed a long-running pattern of sexual exploitation involving underage girls. Epstein began his career as a teacher before working at Bear Stearns, where he moved into finance and eventually established his own investment firm.
