Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released 68 previously unseen photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate on Thursday afternoon.
This comes a day before the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)’s deadline to release Epstein case records to the public arrives, which Donald Trump formalized on November 19. The law, known as the Epstein Files Transparency Act, requires the government to share Epstein-related records by Dec. 19.
“Oversight Democrats will continue to release photographs and documents from the Epstein estate to provide transparency for the American people,” said Ranking Member Robert Garcia.
“As we approach the deadline for the Epstein Files Transparency Act, these new images raise more questions about what exactly the Department of Justice has in its possession. We must end this White House cover-up, and the DOJ must release the Epstein files now.”
Being captured in the photos does not indicate any wrongdoing.
Prominent figures such as Bill Gates, Woody Allen and American professor Noam Chomsky appear in the uncaptioned photos, along with magician David Blaine and other unidentified individuals.
Also among the 68 images are pictures of two hunting bows, what appear to be maps of Epstein’s private island, Little St. James, redacted images of various passports and a partially redacted WhatsApp message that reads, “I have a friend scout she sent me some girls today,” sent by an unidentified person.
The release included several images of quotes from the novel Lolita, written on various parts of an unidentified person’s body.
