Claim:
An image authentically shows four Polaroid photos of U.S. President Donald Trump and the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein with young girls.
Rating:
An image purportedly showing Polaroid photos of young women in various states of undress with U.S. President Donald Trump and the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein circulated on social media in December 2025 after Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform announced they had received thousands of photos from the Epstein estate.
The images circulated on Threads, Facebook and X.
However, the alleged Polaroids showed several signs they were generated with artificial intelligence. As such, we have rated this claim as fake.
A closer look at the faces of Trump and Epstein in these imagess show deformities, such as a missing portion of Trump’s chin and Epstein missing an eye:

In one of the images, Trump’s hand appeared to have six fingers and one of the girl’s hands was missing:

Additionally, a reverse-image search via Google determined this image had appeared only on social media and not on any reputable news sites. If these purported photos came from legitimate sources, such as Epstein’s estate or a release from House Oversight Democrats, news outlets would have certainly covered them.
Some of the posts circulating the fake images claimed that the photos came from Epstein emails released by House Oversight Democrats or other official releases — but if that was the case, the women’s faces would have been redacted to protect their privacy, as in other released images.
“Committee Democrats are committed to protecting the identities of the survivors,” a Dec. 12 House Oversight news release said about the photos.
Snopes has debunked several photos of Trump and Epstein purportedly with young women and girls. However, there are legitimate images of the two together, including this one from 1997. As we have previously reported, the two men shared social circles and their relationship has long been the subject of public scrutiny.
