Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released never-before-seen images of Jeffrey Epstein's infamous island.
The photographs and video appear to show several bedrooms in the US Virgin Islands home, along with a disturbing room featuring masks on the wall and a phone with names written on speed-dial buttons.
In a statement, the committee's Democratic leader, Robert Garcia, commented that the images provide a disturbing look into Epstein's world and aim to ensure public transparency.
This release follows President Donald Trump signing a bill on November 19 that ordered the disclosure of government files concerning the late convicted sex offender, marking a significant turning point in the protracted battle over these documents.
These files encompass a large quantity of materials gathered during two criminal investigations into Epstein, including interview transcripts and confiscated items.
Recently, five members of Congress from both parties requested an update from Attorney General Pam Bondi by the end of the week regarding the planned release of these files.
Multiple survivors have come forward alleging that they were trafficked and abused on Little St James Island, which Epstein purchased in 1998.
The newly released images, taken in 2020, also depict a dental chair and a chalkboard featuring words like truth, deception, and power, some of which have been redacted.
Garcia stated, These new images are a disturbing look into the world of Jeffrey Epstein and his island. We are releasing these photos and videos to ensure public transparency in our investigation and to help piece together the full picture of Epstein's horrific crimes. We won't stop fighting until we deliver the full picture of Epstein's horrific crimes.
The committee additionally announced that records from JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank will be released in the upcoming days, providing further insights into Epstein's operations.
The images also reveal a glimpse of Epstein's luxurious lifestyle, juxtaposed with the horrors that unfolded on his property, as further investigation into the ties connecting him with powerful political figures continues.
