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 comes as part of a wider collection requested by committee Democrats, which now totals around 95,000 images.
The 19 photos made public on Friday depict Epstein with several well-known personalities, including former U.S. President Bill Clinton, Steve Bannon, tech billionaire Bill Gates, entrepreneur Richard Branson, former Prince Andrew, Harvard President Emeritus Larry Summers, and lawyer Alan Dershowitz. Many of the men have previously been linked to Epstein, but the newly released images may provide additional insight into the nature and extent of those associations.
Other notable images show Epstein posing with Bannon in a mirror photograph, Clinton with Epstein, Maxwell and another couple, and Gates with Prince Andrew. None of the released images are believed to depict sexual misconduct or involve underage individuals. The precise dates, locations, and photographers remain unclear.
House Oversight Committee Democrats said the photos, drawn from Epstein’s estate, are part of a broader effort to ensure transparency and public accountability. Rep. Robert Garcia, the committee’s top Democrat, described the release as “significant” and urged the Department of Justice to make all files public. “These disturbing photos raise even more 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.
The estate’s lawyers also clarified that the photographs cover properties owned, rented, operated, or used by Epstein from 1990 through 2019. They noted that redactions in the images were minimal and primarily limited to nudity.
The release has drawn criticism from the White House. Spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said Democrats had “selectively released cherry-picked photos with random redactions to try and create a false narrative.” She accused the panel of targeting President Trump, arguing that the Republican administration had already acted to support Epstein’s survivors and called for transparency.
A spokesperson for the Republican-led committee echoed these claims, saying that Democrats had released only a small fraction of the total photos and framed the release politically. “Nothing in the documents we’ve received shows any wrongdoing,” the spokesperson said, adding that the continued political focus risked overshadowing the interests of Epstein’s survivors.
his latest batch of photos follows earlier releases of Epstein files, which were made public after U.S. President Donald 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 examined only about a quarter of the photos handed over, with further reviews and potential additional releases expected.
The disclosures have reignited public attention on Epstein’s ties to some of the world’s most powerful figures and intensified calls for comprehensive transparency regarding his financial, social, and political networks.
