More photos from Epstein's estate released by House Democrats as deadline to release DOJ files looms

Source: CNN Politics

PUBLISHED Dec 18, 2025, 12:00 PM ET


Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate Thursday — the latest in a series of intermittent disclosures that have fueled significant political intrigue in recent weeks about who may have been associated with the convicted sex offender.

The five photographs, released without additional context by the members of the panel, include a Ukrainian passport with a female notation, philosopher Noam Chomsky on a plane with Epstein, and Bill Gates posing for a photograph with a woman whose face was redacted by Democrats on the panel. The images also include a screenshot of a snippet of a text conversation in which a person is discussing sending girls.

“I don’t know try to send someone else. I have a friend scout she sent me some girls today. But she asks 1000$ per girl. I will send u girls now. Maybe someone will be good for J?” the series of messages reads. The individual then sends a detailed description including name, “18 y old,” height, measurements, weight, a note on the Schengen area and a “departure city.” Many of the details are redacted, though the age, a check mark next to Schengen and Russia are all visible. There is no context provided around this conversation, and it is unclear who the participants in the messaging exchange are.

A fifth photograph shows a woman’s foot with a quote from “Lolita,” the Vladimir Nabokov novel about a man’s sexual obsession with a 12-year-old girl, written on it. It was not immediately clear when or where they were taken, or by whom.

2. The woman's foot with a quote from Lolita on it was a nice touch and with a copy of Lolita in the picture too.

These people knew exactly what they were doing and that was raping underage girls.

Did Epstein write this?

I doubt Epstein wrote that for that reason.

3. I'd say the texts about sending girls are the most damning thing yet

They are effectively proof of trafficking. Now we just need to find out who the people were on this text conversation.

What many fail to mention is that he also offered some girls who were of legal age. Thanks for posting.

The one with the writing on a female's chest just over her dress is pretty scary.

Ranking Member Robert Garcia Statement After Oversight Democrats Release Additional New Photos Received from Epstein Estate
December 18, 2025

Press Release
Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, released the following statement after the Oversight Committee released additional photos that were from the latest production from the Epstein estate. The additional photos can be accessed here.

Photos were selected to provide the public with transparency into a representative sample of the photos received from the estate, and to provide insights into Epstein’s network and his extremely disturbing activities. Photos in the Committee’s possession include thousands of images, both graphic and mundane. Oversight Democrats redact images and personally identifiable information from victims and survivors, and of young women when it is unknown whether they are a victim of Epstein’s abuse. Oversight Democrats are continuing a full analysis of the photographic evidence.

“Oversight Democrats will continue to release photographs and documents from the Epstein estate to provide transparency for the American people,” said Ranking Member Robert Garcia. “As we approach the deadline for the Epstein Files Transparency Act, these new images raise more questions about what exactly the Department of Justice has in its possession. We must end this White House cover-up, and the DOJ must release the Epstein files now.”

The Oversight Committee is continuing its review of the 95,000 photos produced last week by the Jeffrey Epstein estate. Today’s photos are from the same production the Jeffrey Epstein estate issued the Committee last week. The Epstein estate did not provide context for any of the 95,000 images they transmitted and therefore the images are presented as received. In an effort to continue providing full transparency to the American public, Oversight Democrats have released an additional 70 photos. These photos include passports of women whom Jeffrey Epstein and his conspirators were engaging, photos of rich and powerful men in Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit, and concerning text messages about recruiting women for Jeffrey Epstein.

10. Sick mother fuckers they raped defiled, and then write all over their victims.

Come to Epstein Island and fuck a 15 year old girl. And she has to lay
there and take it as her abuser puts graffiti on the victims.

And the paperwork, I.D.s, and visas are > 50% blacked out.

13. They finally updated their story almost 8 hours later to indicate "more than 60 images" were released

Although some were screenshots of texts so might not be considered "photos".

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate Thursday — the latest in a series of intermittent disclosures that have fueled significant political intrigue in recent weeks about who may have been associated with the convicted sex offender.

The more than 60 images, released without additional context by the members of the panel, include multiple foreign female passports, an image of Epstein with three women whose faces were redacted around him and a number of photographs that reinforce Epstein’s ties to high-profile and powerful men.

There are multiple photographs of a woman’s body on which quotes from “Lolita,” the Vladimir Nabokov novel about a man’s sexual obsession with a 12-year-old girl, are written.

and really, even outside of him. Girls are referred to as women or "young women"... but let men get into trouble, no matter what they're age, and their described as "boys"... always "boys will be boys".

I won't be around to see it, but I long for the day when crap like this is over and done with. Men have way too much testosterone to be in any kind of authority role, including the presidency. Just look at the mess they've made the world over. Where you see women leading a country, there is a marked difference between it and men-led countries. It's about time to give the world over to the "girls" and "women"... let the boys be the helpmates.

Note the date on it is Christmas Day 2008. I can't read all the writing but a couple lines say "leaning to drive, GED" & "Listening in the Pink Room". Then later there is a line that says "made me say it & then didn't". next line mentions Paris, Dubai. I can't make out the last line. After the blacked out piece, it says "head on h? - ?" To the right it says "David Copperfield Movie". Then under Official Response it says "I Love You". What the hell is this?
