Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform published additional photos they received from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, the infamous financier and convicted sex offender. The release follows another one from last week, which committee Democrats said were pulled from a set of over 95,000 photos.

The photos include more candid shots of powerful and famous men, including Google cofounder Sergey Brin, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, New York Times opinion columnist David Brooks, film director Woody Allen, professor and author Noam Chomsky, and Steve Bannon.

The release did not include information about where or when the photos were taken. However, several of the photos appear to have been taken at “The Edge ‘Billionaires’ Dinner’ 2011,” at which several other tech moguls and wealthy individuals were photographed. (The web page featuring the photos includes a quote from a 2000 WIRED story in which the long-standing dinner series was briefly mentioned.) An email address listed on The Edge’s website did not respond to WIRED’s request for comment.

A New York Times spokesperson told WIRED in a statement that Brooks “regularly attends events to speak with noted and important business leaders to inform his columns” and that Brooks had no contact with Epstein before or after attending the 2011 dinner where the photo was taken.

A representative for the Gates Foundation did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did representatives for Google, Allen, Chomsky, and Bannon’s War Room podcast.

The release also includes close-ups of women’s body parts with quotes from Vladimir Nabokov’s book Lolita scrawled onto them, a photo of a pill bottle labeled with a medication usually used to relieve the symptoms of urinary tract infections, and redacted images of travel documents from several countries, including Ukraine and Lithuania.

The House committee’s investigation into Epstein has been going on for several months and is separate from the document dump expected to be released by the US Department of Justice this week. The Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was signed into law last month, requires the DOJ to release “all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials” in its possession by December 19.


As part of the investigation, the committee subpoenaed the Epstein estate and included instructions for the estate to produce two separate sets of documents—one to the Democrats on the committee, the other to Republicans. As the committee has been receiving documents from the estate, both Democrats and the committee as a whole have done their own releases. Material in these releases has raised new questions about the well-documented relationship between Epstein and President Donald Trump; among other things, it shows Epstein claiming intimate knowledge of Trump’s views in exchanges with a Gates adviser.

Documents related to investigations into Epstein have overshadowed the first year of the second Trump administration, several members of which made the release of the documents a central talking point in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election. The political dynamics have shifted over the past year, as it became clear that Trump, a one-time friend of Epstein’s, appears repeatedly in the investigative record.

“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,” said Representative Robert Garcia, the ranking Democratic member on the committee, in a press release. “We must end this White House cover-up, and the DOJ must release the Epstein files now.”
