House Democrats released a handful of photos and videos<\/a> from Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s private Caribbean island on Wednesday, offering a rare glimpse into a secretive place where Epstein is alleged to have trafficked young girls.<\/p>\n

The new images and videos show Epstein\u2019s home, including bedrooms, a telephone, what appears to be an office or library, and a chalkboard on which the words \u201cfin\u201d, \u201cintellectual\u201d, \u201cdeception\u201d and \u201cpower\u201d are written. One photo shows a room with a dentist chair and masks hanging on the wall. The New York Times reported<\/a> that Epstein\u2019s last girlfriend was a dentist who shared an office with one of his shell companies. The videos appear to be a walk-through of the property.<\/p>\n

The materials released on Wednesday were from law enforcement authorities in the US Virgin Islands. They were taken in 2020, the year after Epstein died by suicide in jail.<\/p>\n

Epstein owned two islands in the US Virgin Islands, including Little St James, which some locals told the New York Times they had nicknamed \u201cpedophile island\u201d<\/a>. In 2022, the attorney general of the US Virgin Islands reached a settlement<\/a> for more than $100m with Epstein\u2019s estate after they alleged<\/a> \u201cdozens of young women and children were trafficked, raped, sexually assaulted and held captive in the Virgin Islands at Epstein\u2019s secluded private island, Little St James.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though the images and videos released on Wednesday do not reveal anything new, they appear to be an effort from Congress to keep the pressure on the Trump administration ahead of a 19 December deadline for the justice department to release the files. A bipartisan group of members of Congress on Wednesday also asked the US attorney general, Pam Bondi, to provide a status update.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese new images are a disturbing look into the world of Jeffrey Epstein<\/a> and his island. We are releasing these photos and videos to ensure public transparency in our investigation and to help piece together the full picture of Epstein\u2019s horrific crimes. We won\u2019t stop fighting until we deliver justice for the survivors,\u201d Robert Garcia, the ranking member on the House oversight committee, said in a statement.<\/p>\n
