Epstein photo release: On Thursday, ahead of the Department of Justice's deadline to release its case files on Jeffrey Epstein, House Democrats unveiled a new batch of photos from the convicted sex offender's estate. These images, showing Epstein’s connections to several high-profile figures, have drawn attention to a range of celebrities beyond Donald Trump, including Bill Gates, Woody Allen, and Noam Chomsky.
The Committee revealed around 68 images obtained from Epstein's computer and email accounts, included in the 95,000 documents submitted by Epstein's estate last week, given to the committee without any context.
These images provide further understanding of his lifestyle and social connections. One image shows former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates beside a woman with a blurred face, while another features Noam Chomsky seated next to Epstein on a plane.
More images reveal public intellectual Noam Chomsky seated with Epstein on what seems to be an aircraft, along with pictures of Bill Gates beside a woman whose face is blurred. The collection also includes photos of filmmaker Woody Allen and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, both of whom were featured in an earlier set of images.
The collection also included images of passports, visas, and ID cards from Russia, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, South Africa, and Lithuania, with personal details obscured.
Additionally, there were photos of Epstein with women or girls whose faces were blurred. The committee has stated that it is removing information from the photos to prevent the identification of victims.
Among the most recent disclosures are close-up photographs of passages from Lolita, a novel centered on an adult man’s fixation on a 12-year-old girl, written in black ink across various parts of a woman’s body, including her chest, neck, back, and foot. The release also includes a late-night text exchange discussing the arrangement of girls for an individual identified as “j,” with a price listed at $1,000 per person.
