The House Oversight Committee has unveiled a new selection of photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, raising further inquiries as the DOJ prepares to release its investigation files.

In the latest batch from Epstein's estate, around 70 new photos were disclosed by the House Oversight Committee just before the Department of Justice's file deadline. The images portray various notable figures and highlight unsettling themes, prompting questions about the DOJ's forthcoming release.

The House Oversight Committee has released a batch of around 70 photos from the estate of late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

It's the third such release from a tranche of over 95,000 photos the committee has acquired from Epstein's estate. It includes images of quotes from the book *Lolita* written across a woman's body, and redacted images of women's foreign passports.

This comes hours before the 19 December deadline for the Department of Justice to release all files related to its investigation into Epstein.

These new images raise more questions about what exactly the Department of Justice has in its possession, said ranking member of the committee, Robert Garcia.

What's in the images released

Some of the photos released show Epstein speaking with professor and activist Noam Chomsky aboard a private plane; Bill Gates standing beside a woman whose face is redacted; Steve Bannon sitting at a desk across from Epstein, and former Alphabet president Sergey Brin at a dinner event. The latest wealthy, powerful men to be seen in Epstein estate photos include notable names such as US President Donald Trump and former president Bill Clinton. Appearance in the photos is not evidence of wrongdoing.

In a statement accompanying the photo release, Democrats on the US House Oversight Committee said the Epstein estate did not provide context or timings for the pictures. They expressed that the release aims to bring transparency regarding Epstein's network.

The release also includes several photos featuring quotes from Nabokov's *Lolita*, with disturbing implications. The House Oversight Committee has thousands of images in its possession, which are both graphic and mundane.

This release is separate from the Department of Justice files, which have been mandated to be released by 19 December under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
