Four arrested after photos of Trump and Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle during president's U.K. visit

Police in the U.K. arrested four people after photos of President Donald Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were projected onto Windsor Castle on Tuesday night.

The projections included photos of Trump and Epstein; of the two joined by first lady Melania Trump with Epstein and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell; and of a lewd birthday message Trump allegedly sent Epstein in 2003 for a 50th birthday book.

Trump arrived in London on Tuesday for a state visit. He's expected to spend most of Wednesday at the castle with King Charles III and Queen Camilla and other members of the royal family.

Thames Valley Police said in a statement Tuesday night that they arrested four adults “on suspicion of malicious communications following a public stunt in Windsor.” The police added they will conduct an investigation into the incident, and that all four people arrested remain in custody.

“Our officers responded swiftly to stop the projection and four people have been arrested,” the statement read.

The inclusion of the alleged birthday message from Trump comes after its release by the House Oversight Committee last week after it subpoenaed Epstein’s estate for documents. Trump and the White House have vehemently denied the authenticity of the message.

The committee launched an investigation into the Epstein case following uproar after the FBI and Justice Department said over the summer that they would not release more files linked to the case. The decision sparked outrage by many MAGA supporters — on the campaign trail last year, Trump vowed more transparency in the Epstein case after claiming the government was withholding information.

In addition to subpoenaing the Epstein estate, the committee ordered several high-profile former officials to testify, including former Attorney General Merrick Garland, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton.

The Oversight Committee on Tuesday released a transcript of its interview with one such official, Bill Barr, who was attorney general in Trump's first term when Epstein died in jail by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. In his deposition, Barr said he was not aware of any evidence suggesting that Epstein procured women for Trump.

Trump said in 2019 that he had a falling out with Epstein “a long time ago,” and that he hadn’t spoken with the disgraced financier “for 15 years.” In July, Trump said that their falling out came after Epstein “stole” staff from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club.

The release of the so-called Epstein birthday book led to the dismissal of U.K. ambassador to the U.S. Peter Mandelson, who was fired last week over his relationship with Epstein. The book purportedly showed a message signed by Mandelson in which called Epstein “my best pal.”

In 2019, the king’s brother, Prince Andrew, stepped back from his royal duties over his friendship with Epstein. Three years later, he was stripped of his military affiliations and royal patronages by Queen Elizabeth II after his lawyers failed to persuade a U.S. judge to dismiss a lawsuit accusing him of sexual abuse.

Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre had alleged that Andrew sexually abused her when she was 17. He repeatedly denied the allegation but made an an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre. She died by suicide earlier this year.
