Newly released photos and videos of the inside of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate on his private island show several spa-like rooms, one with a medical spa chair surrounded by decorative masks and another large shower room stacked with bins of towels and blankets.
The images, released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee Wednesday are the latest documents to emerge from the Epstein files.
“Oversight Dems have received never-before-seen photos and videos of Jeffrey Epstein's private island that are a harrowing look behind Epstein’s closed doors,” the X account associated with the Democrats wrote.
“See for yourself. We won’t stop fighting until we end this cover-up and deliver justice for the survivors.”
Among the photos, one of the most eye-grabbing depicts a tan-colored medical spa chair in the middle of a room. Scattered on the walls are decorative masks showing different faces of men.

In a letter to Bondi, obtained by NBC News, the lawmakers are asking the attorney general to clarify if the Justice Department can meet the 30-day deadline to release the files should they find “any new evidence, information or procedural hurdles.”
The file released by the House Oversight democrats also contains several detailed photos, lending some vague insight into Epstein’s life.
One depicts a landline telephone with first names listed on speed dial buttons: Darren, Rich, Mike, Patrick and Larry. Several other names appear to be censored on the phone’s directory

Some of the writing on the chalkboard is also censored.
