Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released unprecedented photos and videos of Jeffrey Epstein's infamous island, known as "Little St. James."
The footage shows several bedrooms in Epstein's U.S. Virgin Islands mansion, along with a room containing masks hanging on the wall and a telephone with speed dial numbers printed on its buttons.
Robert Garcia, the committee's Democratic leader, described the materials as offering a "disturbing glimpse" into Epstein's world, emphasizing that their release was intended to "ensure public transparency." This comes after President Donald Trump signed a bill on November 19 mandating the release of government documents related to Epstein, a significant shift in the months-long dispute surrounding these files.
The images also show what appears to be a dentist's chair and a room containing a blackboard with words like "truth," "deception," and "power" written on it, with some words redacted. Democrats on the committee indicated that these materials resulted from a request they submitted on November 18 to the Attorney General of the U.S. Virgin Islands for information regarding the ongoing investigations into Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
Garcia added that the committee also received records from JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank and intends to release them soon. Little St. James is one of two islands Epstein owned in the territory, and the territory's Attorney General reached a $105 million settlement with him in 2022 following allegations of human trafficking and sexual assault against dozens of victims on the two islands.
The images do not reveal any substantial new information about the case, but they do offer a glimpse into the location of the alleged crimes and Epstein's lavish lifestyle. The committee later released a second batch of approximately 200 images showing additional details such as masks with similar male faces, artwork, and a photograph of Epstein and Maxwell with Pope John Paul II.
The images appear to have been taken in 2020 after Epstein's death, showing the house packed up with stacked furniture and paintings removed from the walls. The release also includes a video showing a swimming pool surrounded by palm trees, a statue of Ram, and a path leading to the sea.
The bill signed by Trump gives the Justice Department a 30-day deadline, ending on December 19, to release the documents in a searchable and downloadable format. However, it allows for the withholding of documents that could harm an active criminal investigation or contain personal information about victims, which could lead to delays in the full release.
