Every photo from the latest disturbing Epstein files release
by Anna Tatham · Mail OnlineHouse Democrats today released new images from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, featuring the likes of Donald Trump, Bill Clinton and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The trove of 19 undated photos, ranging from glitzy events to journeys on private jets, includes several high-profile names, such as former Treasury secretary Larry Summers and Bill Gates.
Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, director Woody Allen and billionaire Richard Branson also feature. The images do not implicate any of those pictured in Epstein's crimes.
The House Oversight Committee released the select photographs from the tranche of more than 95,000 it received from the disgraced financier's estate as part of its ongoing investigation.
It comes a week before the deadline for the Trump administration to release all documents related to Epstein.

Epstein files: What is being released?
Where do these new photos come from?
On December 12, House Democrats on the Oversight Committee released 19 photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, selected from approximately 95,000 images provided to Congress.
The photos show Epstein in social settings with prominent figures, including President Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Larry Summers, Woody Allen and Steve Bannon, but do not by themselves allege criminal conduct.
Democrats can release these materials because the House Oversight Committee has subpoena authority and control over documents obtained during its investigations.
These photos come from Epstein's estate and are separate from records held by the Justice Department under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
What are the DOJ 'Epstein files'?
The Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law on November 19, requires the Justice Department to release Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell-related records within 30 days, with redactions to protect victims' privacy and ongoing investigations.
These DOJ records include investigative materials such as grand jury transcripts, evidence from federal cases, correspondence, and other law-enforcement files, materials that are broader and more formal than the estate's photo collection. Recent federal court orders unsealing grand jury materials in New York and Florida were issued under this law's authority.
Why are these photos being released by Democrats now?
The timing appears tied to the December 19 deadline for DOJ's mandated release, with Democrats moving first on public disclosure.
The release also builds on momentum from recent court orders and signals that Congress is pressing for maximum transparency rather than waiting for the White House.
What is the overall state of play?
Two main streams of Epstein-related material are now flowing to the public: (1) congressional releases from the estate, including photos and banking records, and (2) Justice Department releases mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, including unsealed grand jury records.
