A new batch of photographs from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has been released by the House Oversight Committee, shedding light on the financier’s connections with prominent political, business and cultural figures.
The release forms part of a wider collection requested by committee Democrats, which now totals about 95,000 images.
The 19 photographs made public on Friday show Epstein with several well-known figures, including former US President Bill Clinton, Steve Bannon, technology billionaire Bill Gates, entrepreneur Richard Branson, Britain’s Prince Andrew, Harvard President Emeritus Larry Summers and lawyer Alan Dershowitz. Many of them have previously been linked to Epstein, but the newly released images may offer further insight into the nature and extent of those associations.
Other images show Epstein posing with Bannon in a mirror photograph, Clinton with Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and another couple, and Gates with Prince Andrew. None of the images released is believed to depict sexual misconduct or involve underage individuals. The precise dates, locations and photographers are unclear.
House Oversight Committee Democrats said the photographs, drawn from Epstein’s estate, were released as part of a broader effort to ensure transparency and public accountability. Congressman Robert Garcia, the committee’s leading Democrat, described the release as "significant" and urged the Department of Justice to make all files public. "These disturbing photos raise further questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. We will not rest until the American people get the truth," Garcia said.
Lawyers for the estate said the photographs cover properties owned, rented, operated or used by Epstein between 1990 and 2019. They added that redactions were minimal and largely limited to nudity.
The White House criticised the release. Spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said Democrats had "selectively released cherry-picked photos with random redactions to try to create a false narrative." She accused the panel of politically targeting President Donald Trump, saying the Republican administration had already acted to support Epstein’s survivors and called for transparency.
A spokesperson for the Republican-led committee echoed those concerns, saying Democrats had released only a small fraction of the total images and framed the disclosure politically. "Nothing in the documents we’ve received shows any wrongdoing," the spokesperson said, adding that continued political focus risked overshadowing the interests of Epstein’s survivors.
The latest batch of photographs follows earlier releases of Epstein-related files, made public after President Trump signed a bill authorising access to the documents.
The release comes amid ongoing investigations into Epstein’s networks and the influence of his estate. Committee Democrats said they have so far reviewed about a quarter of the images handed over, with further examination and possible additional releases expected.
The disclosures have renewed public attention on Epstein’s ties to powerful figures and intensified calls for full transparency over his financial, social and political networks.
