US House Oversight Committee releases never-before-seen images of Epstein’s private island
by Diarmuid Pepper, https://www.thejournal.ie/author/diarmuid-pepper/ · TheJournal.ieNEVER-BEFORE-SEEN photos and videos have been released of Jeffrey Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands.
The images have been released by the US Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
The Committee said the release is in response to a request to the US Virgin Islands’ Department of Justice for additional information pertaining to investigations or potential criminal investigations of Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell.
Epstein was a convicted sex offender and wealthy and well-connected financier who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking underage girls.
Maxwell meanwhile is serving a 20-year prison sentence for recruiting underage girls for Epstein.

The Committee also received records from J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank and Oversight Democrats intend to also release these files to the public.
Congressman Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said the “new images are a disturbing look into the world of Jeffrey Epstein and his island”.
He added: “We are releasing these photos and videos to ensure public transparency in our investigation and to help piece together the full picture of Epstein’s horrific crimes.
“We won’t stop fighting until we deliver justice for the survivors.”
He also said it is “time for President Trump to release all the files, now”.
