Donald Trump and Steve Bannon must've known Jeffrey Epsteinwas sex trafficking and abusing girls, because Epstein proudly displayed photos of his victims ... so says one of the members of the U.S. House Oversight Committee that's been releasing photos and documents from the Epstein estate.
In a recent photo dump, there's an image of Bannon and Epstein sitting at a desk ... and on the desk is a framed photograph of what appears to be a young girl passed out on a couch.
Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, a Democrat from Virginia who sits on the committee, tells TMZ ... the creepy snap of Bannon and Epstein backs up what victims have said about the late pedophile -- that he displayed his trafficking and abuse for everyone to see and wasn't shy about it -- and that makes it "hard for us to believe that people like Bannon and Trump didn't know, particularly Bannon."

'Spinal Tap' is one of the best comedies ever made -- and the list goes on. He was a kind, caring person who was really, really funny."
