Four men arrested after images of Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein were projected on to Windsor Castle have been released on bail. The four men, aged 60, 37, 36, and 50, were taken into custody on Tuesday night. The huge pictures were beamed from a nearby hotel, and the nine-minute film included several images showing the US president with Epstein. This incident occurred during a state visit carefully planned to avoid public contact and potential embarrassing protests. The trip concludes today with a meeting at the prime minister’s country estate, Chequers, following a lavish state banquet at Windsor Castle last night.

The images highlighted Trump’s recent public scrutiny over his links to the late convicted sex offender, who died in 2019. The president has recently denied claims he contributed to a 50th birthday book for Epstein. Trump has stated that the note, which featured an outline of a woman’s body, was not created by him and carries a fake signature. The group responsible for the protest, Led By Donkeys, said they had never had members arrested for their previous projections.

A political campaign group, Led By Donkeys, claimed responsibility for the stunt, describing it as a “peaceful protest.” They called the arrests a “ridiculous overreaction” by authorities. A spokesperson for the group said they had carried out “25 or 30 projections” before and never had any of their members detained by police. “I think they’ve been arrested for embarrassing Donald Trump,” the spokesperson added. The protest was a direct response to the historic nature of the state visit. The group’s actions served as a bold public statement about Trump’s past.

The four men were bailed by Thames Valley Police until December 12. The police are investigating them for “possible offenses including malicious communications and public nuisance.” Thames Valley Police are collaborating with partners to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances. Led By Donkeys has previously used similar protest methods to criticize public figures, often using their own words against them. The group’s spokesperson defended the action as a form of journalism, pointing to a “fact-based piece of journalism” that was projected onto the castle wall. The group’s video detailed Trump’s long-standing relationship with Epstein, including a letter he allegedly wrote to him. This particular protest brought renewed attention to a politically sensitive issue that continues to be a public thorn in the president’s side.
