Epstein’s Powerful Pals Exposed in New Creepy Photo Dump

The images were released as the Trump administration faces a deadline to release files about the notorious child predator.

Photos of billionaire Bill Gates with an unidentified woman, as well as pictures of Steve Bannon and Noam Chomsky in the company of Jeffrey Epstein, form part of a new trove of documents handed over by the sex trafficker’s estate.

As the Trump administration approaches a deadline to disclose the Epstein files by the end of the week, House Democrats released the images on Thursday to once again spotlight the issue.

The photos also contained a creepy image of a foot with a quote from Lolita—a novel about a pedophile—and text messages in which someone is discussing sending girls.

“I don’t know try to send someone else. I have a friend scout she sent me some girls today. But she asks 1000$ per girl. I will send u girls now. Maybe someone will be good for J?” the messages say.

The photos, which were released without context, are the latest in a series of documents that have fueled speculation about Epstein’s powerful networks.

They form part of 95,000 photographs the Oversight Committee received from the Epstein estate, with more expected in coming weeks and months.

A batch of images were also released last week, including one of Donald Trump posing with a group of mystery young women, and another one featuring a bowl of novelty condoms bearing a caricature of the president’s face, along with the text: “I’m HUUUUGE!”

The issue has continued to haunt the president, whose chief of staff, Susie Wiles, confirmed in a jaw-dropping interview this week that he is in the Epstein files and travelled on the sex offender’s plane.

But she insisted “he’s not in the file doing anything awful,” telling Vanity Fair: “They were, you know, sort of young, single, whatever—I know it’s a passé word but sort of young, single playboys together.”

The latest batch of photos featured heavily redacted passports from Ukraine, Czech Republic and Russia.

There was also a prescription for the urinary tract infection medication Phenazopyridine, and another image of Google co-founder Sergey Brin and a photo of Epstein and film maker Woody Allen.

Bannon, a former Trump adviser, is featured sitting at a desk with Epstein, while Chomsky, a philosopher and linguist, is pictured on a plane with Epstein.

Other photos showed a woman with what appear to be handwritten phrases from Vladimir Nabokov‘s novel Lolita all over her body.

“Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip,” reads one below a woman’s collarbone and above her chest.

“She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock,” said another message on a woman’s foot.

“She was Lola in slacks,” reads another. “She was Dolly at school.

The photos do not suggest that any of the people in Epstein’s network committed any crimes.

But the timing is sensitive for Trump, who came to office promising his MAGA base that he would release the Epstein files, only to later describe them as a Democratic hoax.

In July, the Department of Justice also sought to kill the issue by releasing a memo stating that “no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted.

Then last month, in a stunning reversal, he finally signed new laws officially directing the DOJ to release all unclassified records and documents connected to the convicted sex offender.

The reversal came only after it became clear that enough Republicans would break ranks with the president and vote in favor of releasing the files.

Asked by the Daily Beast if it would release the files by tomorrow’s deadline, a DOJ spokesperson declined to comment.
