House Democrats Release More Epstein Photos as DOJ Deadline Looms
Washington, D.C. – House Democrats have released a new batch of photos from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The release comes just a day before the Department of Justice (DOJ) is required to release its own, more comprehensive set of files related to Epstein, as mandated by the recently passed “Epstein Files Transparency Act.”
The House Oversight Committee Democrats stated their intent to “continue releasing photographs and documents to provide transparency for the American people,” while urging the DOJ to release their files as well.
The newly released images include photos of Epstein with prominent figures such as Noam Chomsky, Bill Gates, Woody Allen, and Steve Bannon. One screenshot appears to show a text exchange about recruiting young women, while other images show women’s passports and an unidentified woman with messages written on her skin, next to Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita.
These images follow a previous release last week showing Bannon, Allen, and Gates, as well as former President Bill Clinton, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and an image of former President Trump surrounded by three young women.
The release of these images and the impending DOJ deadline are fueling speculation about the extent of involvement of influential figures in Epstein’s crimes and the circumstances surrounding his death, which was ruled a suicide. Despite initially opposing the release of information, former President Trump eventually signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law.
The DOJ has yet to confirm whether it will meet the deadline outlined in the law.
