Over 60 new photos from Epstein estate have been released

Nearly 70 images from Jeffrey Epstein's estate have been released today (18 December) by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.

This is the latest batch of images released by Congressional Democrats in recent weeks. Some of the 68 images have been partially redacted, with some faces blanked out in the images.

They feature diagrams of building plans, passports and photos of Epstein himself, along with high-profile faces like Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, former Trump advisor Steve Bannon and intellectual Noam Chomsky.

The images have been shared without context, aside from the following statement from House Democrats: "Oversight Dems are releasing additional photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate to the public.

"We will continue releasing photographs and documents to provide transparency for the American people. It’s time for the Department of Justice to release the files."

While this is a major update, it is not the long-awaited Epstein files.

Several of the new photos show handwritten messages on different parts of a person's body, with the writing appearing to be quotes from the book Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov - a copy of which can be seen in the background of one of the photographs.

One message, which is written on a foot, reads 'she was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock'.

Another message says 'she was Lola in slacks', while a third says 'she was Dolly at school'.

For context, the 1955 book is about a man's obsession with a 12-year-old girl.

Another disturbing image shows a WhatsApp exchange between unknown people, who are discussing if an 18-year-old Russian girl will be 'good for J'.

The sender writer: "I have a friend scout she sent me some girls today. But she asks for 1000$ per girl. I will send you girls now. Maybe someone will be good for J?"

They then go on to list the girl's name, height, weight and measurements, which are redacted.

The Epstein files are said to include thousands of documents - everything from flight logs from the disgraced financier's private jets, emails, estate records, court documents, as well as internal Department of Justice communications, and information about the investigation into his death in prison.

The deadline for their release is tomorrow (19 December), following the signing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Thousands of documents are already in the public domain, including Epstein's contact book, client list, photos of his private island and a series of celebrity images from his estate.

House representatives have warned that the Department of Justice will be breaking the law if they don't release the files tomorrow, potentially opening themselves up to lawsuits.
