Ranking Member Robert Garcia Statement After Oversight Democrats Release Additional New Photos Received from Epstein Estate

Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, released the following statement after the Oversight Committee released additional photos that were from the latest production from the Epstein estate. The additional photos can be accessed here.

Photos were selected to provide the public with transparency into a representative sample of the photos received from the estate, and to provide insights into Epstein’s network and his extremely disturbing activities. Photos in the Committee’s possession include thousands of images, both graphic and mundane. Oversight Democrats redact images and personally identifiable information from victims and survivors, and of young women when it is unknown whether they are a victim of Epstein’s abuse. Oversight Democrats are continuing a full analysis of the photographic evidence.

“Oversight Democrats will continue to release photographs and documents from the Epstein estate to provide transparency for the American people,” said Ranking Member Robert Garcia. “As we approach the deadline for the Epstein Files Transparency Act, these new images raise more questions about what exactly the Department of Justice has in its possession. We must end this White House cover-up, and the DOJ must release the Epstein files now.” 

The Oversight Committee is continuing its review of the 95,000 photos produced last week by the Jeffrey Epstein estate. Today’s photos are from the same production the Jeffrey Epstein estate issued the Committee last week. The Epstein estate did not provide context for any of the 95,000 images they transmitted and therefore the images are presented as received. In an effort to continue providing full transparency to the American public, Oversight Democrats have released an additional 70 photos. These photos include passports of women whom Jeffrey Epstein and his conspirators were engaging, photos of rich and powerful men in Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit, and concerning text messages about recruiting women for Jeffrey Epstein.
