Epstein Files Resurface Footage Of His Palm Beach Lair Revealing Bare Women, Dictator, And A Pope
The House Oversight Committee released more than 33,000 files, including documents and videos, relating to Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday.
Police footage from 2005 showing a search of Epstein’s home in Palm Beach was among the trove of evidence published.
Throughout the mansion, there were several pictures of Ghislaine Maxwell, including one of her lying naked on a beach and another of her meeting Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
- The House Oversight Committee released over 33,000 Epstein files, including 2005 police footage of his Palm Beach mansion search.
- Photos in Epstein’s mansion showed naked women, Ghislaine Maxwell, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, and Pope John Paul II.
- Audio interviews, court records, and previously missing jail footage from Epstein’s 2019 death were included in the release.
- Democrats say 97% of released documents were already public; only about 1,000 pages of new flight logs were added.
- Survivors and lawmakers urge the full release of the files, while a bipartisan bill aims to force DOJ to disclose all Epstein-related documents.

Other photographs of women, some of whom are naked, were spread throughout the home, with framed photographs in Epstein’s gym, offices, hallway, and bathroom.
Prominent figures such as Pope John Paul II were also seen in photographs, with an image showing Epstein and Maxwell meeting with the former pontiff before his death in 2005.
At least two massage tables could be seen folded up in the footage.
Some of Epstein’s victims have said that they were recruited to give him massages that often involved sexual activity.

Also included in the documents released were audio recordings of interviews with Maxwell and court records, as well as footage from the night before Epstein died in 2019.
While the Department of Justice (DOJ) previously released more than 11 hours of surveillance footage showing Epstein’s jail cell, there was one minute missing from the video.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said the missing time was due to a reset in the system every night, but multiple experts analyzed the video and disagreed with her conclusion.
The missing minute is included in the footage published Tuesday, according to CBS.
There are also two additional hours of footage from outside Epstein’s jail cell than what was previously released by the DOJ.
Both Democrats and Republicans have said that most of the 33,295 documents published contained no new information.
Democrat Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, said in a statement that all documents must be released.
“The 33,000 pages of Epstein documents James Comer has decided to ‘release’ were already mostly public information. To the American people — don’t let this fool you.
“After careful review, Oversight Democrats have found that 97% of the documents received from the Department of Justice were already public. There is no mention of any client list or anything that improves transparency or justice for victims.”

“House Republicans are trying to make a spectacle of releasing already-public documents,” Garcia added. “Pam Bondi has said the client list was on her desk. She could release it right now if she wanted to.”
“While [James] Comer tries to give cover to Trump by re-releasing public documents, House Democrats are fighting for real transparency. Pam Bondi must comply with our subpoena immediately, and release all of the documents. The American people demand it.”
According to Garcia, the only new information published was less than 1,000 pages detailing flight logs of Epstein’s plane between 2000 and 2014.
All other information was previously released by the Department of Justice, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s office.
The release of documents comes ahead of a September 3 press conference held by Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna with 10 survivors of Epstein’s abuse.

Around 100 survivors are expected to rally near Capitol Hill before the conference.
Massie and Khanna are leading a discharge petition to force a House vote on the release of all Epstein-related files.
If the bill passes, Bondi would be forced to release files held by the DOJ on Epstein.
Khanna said he is confident that all 212 Democrats will sign and six Republicans will join them, making up the required number for the bill to pass.

“They’re going to be on the steps of the Capitol,” Khanna told Politico. “They will be telling their story, and they will be saying clearly to the American public that they want the release of the Epstein files for full closure on this matter.”
“I’m very confident it will [pass],” Khanna added. “I spoke to Congressman Massie. You had us both on a few weeks ago. We will have the petition live on September 2. We have all 212 Democrats committed to signing it. He has 12 Republicans. Only six of them have to sign it.”
The Trump administration has received significant backlash over its handling of the Epstein files.
On the campaign trail last year, Trump suggested that he would release the files, but his MAGA fanbase was disappointed with documents that were published.

Then the DOJ and FBI released a memo concluding there was no Epstein client list and that he had died by suicide in jail.
The issue has not gone away, despite Trump’s claims it is a Democrat hoax that his “past supporters” have fallen for.
Both Republicans and Democrats have called for full transparency and for the files to be released.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Trump was named in the Epstein files and that Bondi had been informed about it.
Lawmakers have since said they believe this to be true. However, there is no suggestion that being named in those files is a sign of wrongdoing.
Survivors have also expressed concern over Maxwell potentially being granted a pardon for her recent testimony after she was moved to a minimum-security facility following conversations with Trump’s Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

NBC News interviewed six women who said they were trafficked by either Epstein or Maxwell.
One survivor, Lisa Phillips, told the outlet that several of Epstein’s victims had been compiling a client list of their own after the DOJ memo.
“They have emails, they have flight logs, they have a list they’ve compiled, and I feel like if they’re not going to release this list to the public that everybody wants to see, a lot of us survivors know, we’ve been compiling lists of our own,” she said.
Phillips also urged other survivors to come forward, and noted, “We’ll compile our own list and seek justice on our own. I mean, I think that’s what’s going to happen next.”
