Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released never-before-seen photos and videos from Jeffrey Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean, offering a new glimpse into a world long shrouded in mystery, controversy, and allegations of abuse. The release comes just weeks after U.S. President Donald Trump signed legislation requiring the disclosure of related federal files, marking a new phase in the trajectory of the Epstein investigations.

The newly released images — drawn from law-enforcement materials gathered in 2020 — depict multiple interiors of the property once owned by Epstein, known as Little St. James. Among the scenes: opulently furnished bedrooms and bathrooms; a room featuring a dentist-style chair surrounded by masks resembling male faces; a library/office with a chalkboard — its surface scrawled with words like “deception,” “power,” “truth,” and “plots.”

One unsettling detail: a landline phone with speed-dial buttons carrying names — reportedly linked to individuals in Epstein’s network.

The visuals — especially the dentist-chair room and mask-covered walls — have sparked shock and renewed demands for full disclosure from federal authorities.

Congressional push for transparency and justice

Democratic lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee, led by Robert Garcia (D-California), said they released the materials to provide “public transparency” and to help assemble the “full picture” of Epstein’s crimes. “We won’t stop fighting until we deliver justice for the survivors,” Garcia declared.

The release coincides with a federal deadline under legislation signed by President Trump, requiring the Justice Department to declassify and make available relevant files by mid-December — including potentially incriminating documents naming high-profile individuals connected to Epstein.

Committee officials say they also obtained extensive records from major banks such as J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank and plan to make them public “after review.”

Implications and ongoing controversy

Although the images do not by themselves prove new criminal charges, their timing and detail have reignited scrutiny over Epstein’s network, including possible complicity by powerful associates.

With survivors’ voices growing stronger and calls for justice mounting, the public release represents a pivotal moment in an investigation that has long been criticized for secrecy and inaction. As more documents and financial records become public, pressure is mounting on institutions and individuals once linked to Epstein’s world.
