Several House Republicans have reportedly heard from the Department of Justice that the situation is worse than Michael Wolff’s description of Epstein photos showing Trump with half-naked teenage girls, Shuster wrote.

Shuster is likely referring to an October interview in which Trump biographer Michael Wolff told the Daily Beast that he had personally seen “about a dozen Polaroid snapshots” of Trump and Epstein. In these photos, Trump was photographed with several topless young women on his lap. Wolff said Epstein pulled the photos out of a safe and spread them out “like a deck of cards” on his dining room table.

The author told the Beast he saw the photos while visiting Epstein’s home at the convicted sex offender’s invitation, as Epstein wanted Wolff to write a book about him.

The veteran journalist further reported that Republicans were “spooked” by Attorney General Pam Bondi’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Bondi refused to answer a question from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) about whether she had personally seen the photos after the contents of Epstein’s safe were confiscated.

After Whitehouse asked her about the photos, Bondi then questioned him regarding receiving campaign donations from LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, who was associated with Epstein. “She didn’t give a denial,” Shuster wrote.
