Four men who were arrested after images of Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein were projected on to Windsor Castle have been bailed, police said.

A 60-year-old man from East Sussex, a 36-year-old man from London, a 37-year-old man from Kent and a 50-year-old man from London were arrested on suspicion of malicious communications on Tuesday night after the stunt at the Berkshire royal residence, Thames Valley Police (TVP) said.

They were released on conditional bail on Wednesday night until December 12 while inquiries continue, according to the force.

โ€œThose arrested are being investigated for a number of possible offences including malicious communications and public nuisance,โ€ a spokesperson for TVP said.

The nine-minute film created by British political campaign group Led By Donkeys went over the history of the US presidentโ€™s links to Epstein, including the recent release by US legislators of documents said to include a letter from Mr Trump to the paedophile financier to celebrate his 50th birthday.

The film was projected from a hotel room with a direct view over the castle as an act of โ€œpeaceful protestโ€, a spokesperson for the campaign group said on Wednesday.

โ€œMy colleagues were arrested for malicious communications, which seems ridiculous, because weโ€™ve done 25 or 30 projections before, no-oneโ€™s ever been arrested,โ€ the spokesperson told the PA news agency.
