House Democrats have released several dozen more photos on Thursday from the estate of the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, showing his associations with the rich and famous.
The release of the 68 photos came a day before the deadline to release all unclassified Epstein case files. Under a law signed by US President Donald Trump, the Department of Justice has until December 19 to release the files.
The photos released Thursday were among more than 95,000 that the House Oversight Committee has received after issuing a subpoena for the photos that Epstein had in his possession before he died in a New York jail cell in 2019.
This includes heavily redacted photos of women’s passports, images of famous men who associated with Epstein, and “concerning text messages about recruiting women for Jeffrey Epstein,” according to a statement from Robert Garcia, the ranking Democrat on the committee.
Garcia said that Democrats will continue to make public photos and documents from Epstein’s estate “to provide transparency for the American people.”
