House Democrats on the Oversight Committee released photos and videos from Jeffrey Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean this Wednesday. These materials provide new insight into the settings where Epstein committed decades of abuse against young girls and women.
The images show bedrooms, bathrooms, and a room with a dentist’s chair alongside wall masks. A landline telephone with speed dial buttons featuring first names such as Darren, Rich, Mike, Patrick, and Larry is clearly visible.
Videos reveal the island’s lavish environment, including a swimming pool and palm trees overlooking the ocean. One photo shows a study with a blackboard containing words like “power,” “deception,” “plots,” and “political,” though some parts were redacted to protect privacy.
According to a Democratic committee aide, these photos and videos have not been publicly released before and originate from Little St. James Island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Women’s names appearing in the images were removed as a precautionary measure.
The release follows President Trump signing a law requiring the Justice Department to make Epstein-related documents available. These files, expected soon, hold key information for ongoing investigations.
Rep. Robert Garcia, top Democrat on the committee, said, “These new images are a disturbing look into the world of Jeffrey Epstein and his island.” He emphasized the importance of transparency to uncover full details of Epstein’s crimes.
Little St. James, privately owned by Epstein, was central to his trafficking network. Investigators note Epstein hosted powerful guests and used the islands to keep abusive activities hidden.
Virginia Giuffre, a notable Epstein victim, described in her memoir how she was trafficked on one of the islands and suffered brutal abuse by Epstein and associates. Both Little St. James and Great St. James islands were purchased last month by billionaire Stephen Deckoff, who has not commented on the matter.
The House Oversight Committee recently demanded documents from the U.S. Virgin Islands Attorney General on Epstein’s dealings and local settlements. According to committee chairman Rep. James Comer, these records “will aid its ongoing investigation into Epstein, Maxwell, and related federal probes.”
The committee also obtained about 5,000 documents from subpoenas issued to JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank concerning Epstein’s finances. Officials expect these materials will provide crucial new leads.
While tens of thousands of documents from Epstein’s estate have already been made public, scrutiny continues. Investigators seek to interview Ghislaine Maxwell, though her attorneys indicated she will assert her Fifth Amendment rights.
Additionally, the committee has threatened contempt charges against Bill and Hillary Clinton if they do not comply with deposition subpoenas. The ongoing investigations suggest further revelations may emerge as new evidence is reviewed.
