House Democrats Publish New Epstein Photos Ahead of DOJ Deadline

The release seeks to prod action under a new law requiring the Justice Department to publish Epstein case files by Friday.

Overview

  • The latest batch contains 68 images drawn from roughly 95,000 photos the House Oversight Committee says it received from Epstein’s estate under subpoena.
  • New pictures show Epstein with high‑profile figures including Bill Gates, Noam Chomsky, Steve Bannon and Woody Allen, plus redacted IDs and passports, excerpts of Nabokov’s Lolita written on a woman’s body, and a censored text exchange discussing sending “girls.”
  • Democrats say they removed identifying details to protect victims and frame the disclosures as transparency, while Republicans accuse them of cherry‑picking to shape a narrative.
  • Outlets note the materials highlight associations with elites but do not, as presented, establish criminal conduct by those pictured.
  • The Justice Department has not detailed the scope or timing of its looming release, and survivors describe stress from fragmented, context‑free postings.
