Democrats on the US House Oversight Committee on Wednesday released a new trove of previously never-before-seen videos and photos from the notorious Caribbean island of the late Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender.

The batch of visuals from the government of the US Virgin Islands offer what is, for many, a first look at Epstein’s extravagant personal residence, with photos and videos depicting sprawling grounds with sweeping ocean vistas, a personal dental office decorated with busts of men’s faces, a marble bathhouse, a luxurious library, and multiple, well-appointed bedrooms.

One video takes the viewer on a walkthrough of the facility’s grounds, peering down at what appears to be a cliffside helicopter pad overlooking the Caribbean Sea before it turns around and walks through a pool area with multiple small buildings that may be pool houses.

“These new images are a disturbing look into the world of Jeffrey Epstein and his island,” Representative Robert Garcia, the highest-ranking Democrat on the committee, said in a statement. “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 added: “It’s time for President (Donald) Trump to release all the files (on Epstein), now.”

The released files come after the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform made a request to the US Virgin Islands attorney general in November for information related to investigations into Epstein or his convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Oversight Democrats also requested additional information from J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank, and said they intend to release those materials publicly “after review in the days ahead.”

US President Donald Trump signed a bill into law on Nov. 19 mandating that all government records related to Epstein be released publicly. The bill gives officials 30 days to complete the release, but some Democrats have questioned if this will actually happen, as Trump had previously resisted their release for months.

Epstein was found dead in his New York City jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial. In 2008 he pleaded guilty and was convicted of procuring a minor for prostitution. Epstein’s victims have suggested that he was involved in a sex trafficking ring.
