The Democrats of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in the United States disclosed this Wednesday in December 2025 the existence of "never-before-seen" photos and videos of the Little Saint James complex, Jeffrey Epstein's private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands,
The material, as they stated, offers “a heartbreaking glimpse” into what was happening behind closed doors of the financier and convicted sexual offender.
The post was made through Oversight Dems' X account, where the group stated: “See for yourself. We will not stop fighting until we end this cover-up and bring justice to the survivors.”
According to their statement, the delivery of the material responds to a request from the Committee to the Department of Justice of the U.S. Virgin Islands to provide additional information that would contribute to the ongoing investigation into Epstein's crimes.
The images shared show several rooms within buildings on the island, as well as other locations in the area.
In parallel, the Committee reported having received records from JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank, and indicated that its intention is to publish additional files once their review concludes in the coming days.
The announcement comes as the political pulse in Washington continues over the release of documents related to the Epstein case.
President Donald Trump announced in November the signing of a law that authorizes the Department of Justice to release files related to Epstein.
This regulation, identified as the Epstein Files Transparency Act, mandates the Department of Justice to disclose unclassified records and materials related to investigations involving Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as files on individuals mentioned in previous proceedings, details of trafficking allegations, and internal communications within the Department of Justice regarding the case, among other elements.
However, the document also specifies that the Department of Justice may withhold or redact information that includes the names of victims, material related to child sexual abuse, classified content, or other elements that could jeopardize an active investigation, limits that typically define the scope and pace of any declassification.
The Democrat Robert García (California), the senior member of the committee, stated that the new images provide a "disturbing glimpse" into Epstein's world and asserted that the dissemination aims to ensure "public transparency" and help reconstruct "the full picture" of the financier's crimes.
In the same vein, the Committee noted that on November 18, 2025, it sent a request to the Attorney General of the United States Virgin Islands for documents, communications, and information related to criminal— or potential— investigations concerning Epstein or Maxwell, and stated that it would continue to release materials as they are received.
