House Democrats have pledged to make more photographs of Jeffrey Epstein and his network public.
This follows the release of 19 images from Epstein’s records, along with over 70 additional photos, depicting the late convicted sex offender alongside several influential figures.
Among those pictured are former US president Bill Clinton and current president Donald Trump.
The images do not contain any evidence of sexual wrongdoing, and neither Trump nor Clinton has been implicated in criminal activities related to their connections with Epstein.
In response to their release, Epstein survivor Liz Stein expressed the emotional difficulty of confronting such reminders of past trauma but underscored the importance of public disclosure.
Stein noted: “These things can be really incredibly triggering for us, and at the same time you realize how important it is for this to all come out.”
Lawmakers have now announced intentions to release additional photos relating to Epstein and his connections.
Rep Robert Garcia, a senior Democratic figure on the House Oversight Committee, which is investigating the case, mentioned that approximately 25,000 photos from Epstein’s estate have been reviewed.
While addressing Capitol Hill, Garcia assured that further images will be disclosed.
“It will take days and weeks to ensure that we go through those photos and that a redaction is done in the appropriate way,” he stated.
“Some of the other photos we did not put out today are incredibly disturbing.”
The complete release of the files is scheduled for next Friday (December 19), with lawmakers asserting: “In the interest of transparency, we will continue to release photos from the Epstein estate.”
Trump has commented on the release of the images, appearing unfazed.
“He has photos with everybody,” Trump remarked about Epstein. “Hundreds and hundreds of people have photos with him, that’s no big deal, I know nothing about it.”
The House Oversight Committee reported: “This latest production contains over 95,000 photos, including images of the wealthy and powerful men who spent time with Jeffrey Epstein.”
“Images also include thousands of photographs of women and Epstein properties. Committee Democrats are reviewing the full set of photos and will continue to release photos to the public in the days and weeks ahead.”
