House Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a new batch of around 68 photographs from late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s estate as a deadline looms for the U.S. Department of Justice to disclose its Epstein-related files. The undated, uncaptioned images show prominent figures including Noam Chomsky seated with Epstein on a plane and Bill Gates standing beside a woman whose face is redacted. Several photos include redacted passports and ID documents of women from multiple countries and a text message screenshot about sending girls for Epstein, though context is unclear. Some images also depict women with excerpts from Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita written on their bodies, raising further concern. Lawmakers stress that appearances in the photos do not imply wrongdoing, but the releases continue to fuel calls for transparency into Epstein’s network and activities.
