Washington — House Democrats on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released 14 photos and videos showing Jeffrey Epstein’s private island compound and said they received banking records from JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank this week. The images depict bedrooms, a chalkboard with redacted names and words including “deception” and “power,” a dental chair and an outdoor pool. Lawmakers urged the Department of Justice to release investigative files under statutory timelines, citing a mid-December deadline and prior 2023 bank settlements. Epstein died in 2019 while facing federal charges. Based on 7 articles reviewed and supporting research.
