House Oversight Committee Democrats on Wednesday released a series of “never-before-seen photos” of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s property in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The collection includes dozens of photographs and video clips of Epstein’s island property, where the convicted sex offender allegedly trafficked underage girls. It also received banking records from J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank that were part of the investigation into Epstein, which are expected to be released in coming days.

“We will continue to release documents and files as we receive them,” the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Robert Garcia, posted to X. “The survivors deserve justice and the truth. We need the Department of Justice to release all the files, NOW.”

A majority of the photographs are of modestly decorated bedrooms, while others highlight a landline phone with half a dozen contacts on speed dial, a rusted “No Trespassing” sign and a blackboard with scattered writing.

The most bizarre of the photos features a yellow dentist chair in the middle of a stark white room. The walls are covered with casts of men’s faces in the same golden shade.

In one room, with walls covered in bookshelves and four reclining chairs at its heart, a chalkboard included redacted writing, but words left unredacted included: “truth,” “music,” “deception,” “power,” “fin,” “phy,” “intellectual” and “political.”

In the videos, a walkthrough of a section of Epstein’s island shows rows of individual villas and a swimming pool set atop a hill behind a castle-like rock wall. Behind the swimming pool, along the ocean also sits a helicopter landing pad.

Monday evening, Oversight Democrats released an additional 150 photographs of Epstein’s island, providing a clearer picture of the compound.

While the bedrooms throughout the property lack artwork or personal touches, photographs of a storage room reveal a trove of artworks including various paintings, busts and sculptures, along with a framed photograph of Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislane Maxwell shaking hands with the late Pope John Paul II.

The photos also reveal a shower decorated with multiple brands of women’s shampoo and conditioner, and a monitor displaying 16 different security camera angles.

The start of President Donald Trump’s second administration has been marked by a near-constant stream of Epstein-related controversies, as Democrats in Congress attempt to publicize the president’s affiliation with the sex offender.

Last month, following the delayed swearing-in of Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva, Congress passed a measure requiring the Department of Justice to release all remaining files related to its investigations into Epstein.

Trump signed the petition after months of insisting the Epstein files were just a distraction from his administration’s policies.

The public got its first glimpse into the Oversight Committee’s materials on Epstein in late September when Democrats dropped a select number of emails, many of which mentioned Trump.

Republicans on the Oversight Committee responded hours later by releasing a massive trove of more than 20,000 files, including thousands of emails. In those messages,Trump’s name is mentioned more than 2,000 times in total.

In one email to the author Michael Wolff, Epstein wrote that Trump “knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop.” He was referring to Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex-trafficking crimes she committed alongside Epstein.

In response to the revelation, the White House insisted that Trump did nothing wrong.

“These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a press conference last month.

The Justice Department is required to release its documents on Epstein by Dec. 19 — and a group of bipartisan lawmakers sent a letter on Wednesday to Attorney General Pam Bondi asking her to appear before them for a briefing no later than Friday to explain any potential hurdles to reaching that deadline.

“We are particularly focused on understanding the contents of any new evidence, information or procedural hurdles that could interfere with the Department’s ability to meet this statutory deadline,” the lawmakers wrote.

A law firm representing a number of alleged victims sent a letter to the House Oversight committee last week arguing a number of unredacted names were disclosed in its November releases, and called on the DOJ to improve its process in the upcoming release.

In their letter, the lawmakers said they share the privacy concerns but noted that “the victim’s lawyers have far greater knowledge of who these individuals are, and they are prepared to confidentially transmit names that must be redacted to prevent privacy violations.

“We urge the Department to coordinate directly with these attorneys to establish a secure process to fully protect all victim identities,” they continued. “We look forward to hearing from you to ensure the law is fully implemented with critical safeguards to protect survivors.”
