House Democrats Post 68 New Epstein Photos as DOJ Faces Friday Disclosure Deadline

DOJ must publish Epstein records under a new transparency law, with redactions confined to victim privacy, child‑abuse material, and ongoing cases.

Overview

  • The latest batch includes 68 images from roughly 95,000 turned over by Epstein’s estate, released without added context by House Oversight Democrats.
  • Images show handwritten 'Lolita' quotes on a woman’s body, passports and IDs marked female, and a text screenshot referencing an '18 y old' and '$1,000 per girl.'
  • Photos depict public figures such as Bill Gates and Noam Chomsky, with no allegation of wrongdoing and faces redacted where identities could reveal potential victims.
  • Republicans accuse Democrats of cherry‑picking the releases, while Democrats say they are posting what the estate provided after applying victim‑protective redactions.
  • The Justice Department has not specified timing or scope for Friday’s release as lawyers work on permitted redactions under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
