WASHINGTON — House Democrats released several dozen more photos Thursday from the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, highlighting his associations with notable figures as the Department of Justice approaches a critical deadline for releasing its case files related to Epstein.
The newly published photos are part of a collection of over 95,000 images obtained by the House Oversight Committee in response to a subpoena. This move comes as Congress mandated that the DOJ release its findings concerning Epstein and his close associate Ghislaine Maxwell by the end of the week. Anticipation is building around these documents as they have been the subject of speculation concerning Epstein's influential friendships, including those with Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew, among others.
Among the released images are Epstein cooking with Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, alongside pictures featuring billionaire Bill Gates and a 2011 dinner gathering involving prominent philanthropists. The committee has clarified that no wrongdoing is implied by the individuals included in the photographs.
Additionally, the publications included various documents like passports and identification cards from several countries, with sensitive information redacted to protect victims' identities.
Rep. Robert Garcia, the leading Democrat on the oversight panel, emphasized in a statement that the release of these images ignites further inquiries into the DOJ’s possession of evidence, calling for immediate transparency as the deadline looms.
