‘Lolita,’ passports and more famous figures pictured in latest Epstein photo release

Politics Dec 18, 2025 6:09 PM EST

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released another collection of images from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate Thursday, on the eve of the Justice Department’s deadline to release all of its files on his case.

Around 70 photographs come from Epstein’s computer and email accounts, and shed more light on his lifestyle and social circles. The photographs, among 95,000 handed over by Epstein’s estate last week, were provided to the committee without context.

One image shows former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates standing next to a woman, whose face is redacted. Another shows Noam Chomsky seated next to Epstein on a plane. Several images show a social gathering over a meal and several faces of powerful or public figures, including Epstein. A separate image that appears to be from the same room shows Google co-founder Sergey Brin and New York Times columnist David Brooks, who is a regular contributor to the PBS News Hour. The photos are undated.

A New York Times spokesperson said in a statement, “As a journalist, David Brooks regularly attends events to speak with noted and important business leaders to inform his columns, which is exactly what happened at this 2011 event. Mr. Brooks had no contact with him before or after this single attendance at a widely-attended dinner.”

Several images in the new release show Epstein photographed with women whose faces have been redacted. One photograph appears to show three women with Epstein, with an open computer nearby. One of the women has her arm around his shoulder. Another photo shows Epstein seated on a plane, pointing out a window while a woman sits closely beside him. Her face has also been obscured.

Some photos in this batch show closeups of a foot and a neck. In both images, quotes from the book “Lolita” appear to have been written in black pen on the person’s body.

Epstein island photos, videos released by House Oversight Committee

By Hailey Fuchs, 12/03/2025, 11:50am ET, Updated: 12/03/2025, 7:06pm ET, They are the first release from a new tranche of subpoenaed files that include also records from JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank.

The House Oversight Committee has received new materials from major financial institutions as part of its investigation into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as well as photos and videos of Epstein’s private compound from authorities in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The files from JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank have not yet been publicly released, though Democrats on the panel say they expect to release them in the coming days after a review. These documents are separate from the federal law enforcement records Congress voted to make public last month; the Justice Department is required to make those materials public later this month.

“[House Oversight Democrats] intend to release files to the public in the days ahead,” said Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the panel, in a post on X. A spokesperson for the committee’s Republican majority confirmed the receipt of the materials.

Democrats publicly posted videos and photos Wednesday that were provided by the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands, where Epstein owned his infamous private retreat.
