Epstein, who sexually abused underage women at his homes and one of his private islands in the Caribbean, also kept images of sex toys, according to the new release. One of the photographs shows novelty condoms with Trump’s likeness on them, spread out on a table. Behind the table reads a sign that says “Trump Condom $4.50.”
The House Oversight Committee said in a statement that there are “thousands of photographs of women and Epstein properties” in the latest batch. They also note that names of potential victims and identifiers have been redacted. The latest collection contains more than 95,000 images, with 19 being released Friday.

“It is time to end this White House cover-up and bring justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends,” ranking member Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., said in a press release. “These disturbing photos raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. We will not rest until the American people get the truth. The Department of Justice must release all the files, NOW.”
PBS News has asked the White House for comment on the photographs.
Trump has not been accused of any wrongdoing related to Epstein and his sex trafficking operation. But their relationship has come under renewed scrutiny. Congress passed a bill last month requiring the Department of Justice to release its own files on the Epstein investigation by Dec. 19, which Trump signed. Those files have not yet been released.
