Democrats on the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday released [1] a collection of previously unseen photos and videos taken on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, describing the material as part of their ongoing investigation into Epstein’s criminal network and associates.
The images were made available through a public link and accompanied by a statement from committee Democrats.
“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,” the statement said.
Committee Democrats added, “We won’t stop fighting until we deliver justice for the survivors.”
Speaking of “coverups” why did you redact some of the names on a phone and chalkboard in some of these “never before released” photos (that have been online since May)?

Never-before-seen images and video footage of convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s private island were released Wednesday morning by the House Oversight Committee.

A Republican member of the Oversight Committee criticized the release, saying it represented another instance of selective disclosure by the minority.
“It is odd that Democrats are once again releasing selective information, as they have done before. The last time Democrats cherry-picked and doctored documents, their attempt to construct yet another hoax against President Trump completely collapsed,” the lawmaker told Axios.
According to a spokesperson for the committee, the released material was part of a larger collection of approximately 5,000 documents obtained in response to subpoenas issued by Oversight Chairman Jim Comer.
The subpoenas were directed to JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank, and a separate request was sent to the U.S. Virgin Islands for related records.
Among the images included in the release was a photograph of a large sitting room containing a chalkboard with partial redactions.

The release marks the latest development in congressional efforts to examine Epstein’s activities, his financial relationships, and the individuals who visited or conducted business with him prior to his death in federal custody.
The publication of the photos and videos follows earlier public interest in off-site imagery, including drone footage captured over Epstein’s island shortly after his death in 2019.

As of Wednesday, the committee had not announced when additional documents from the 5,000-record collection might be made public, nor had Democrats indicated whether further disclosures were planned.
Republicans continue to call for the complete, unredacted release of all subpoenaed documents.
