New images from Jeffrey Epstein's estate and emails have been released by the House Oversight Committee and feature famous figures including President Donald Trump, Bill Gates and Richard Branson.
The set of 19 photos, published today (December 12), also feature former President Bill Clinton and former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, among others.
One of the images features a huge bowl featuring a label which reads 'Trump condom $4.50'.
The bowl contains a pile of red packs, each of which features a caricature of Trump’s face. Underneath the image reads the words: “I’m HUUUUGE!”

Other images have reportedly been taken from Epstein's email, with the Oversight Committee having chosen to redact some elements of the images prior to release.
One photo features Trump stood in the midst of six women, all of who are wearing flowers around their necks.
None of the images depict any sexual misconduct, and none of the women featured in the images are believed to be underage. Trump has not been accused of any crime in relation to Epstein.
The images come as part of an ongoing investigation led by the committee, which has already released many documents and emails related to Epstein. The businessman was convicted of sexual offences and was awaiting a trial on sex trafficking charges when he died in prison on August 10, 2019.
It's not immediately clear when the newly released images were taken, or who is responsible for snapping the photos, but they shed more insight into Epstein's life and connections with wealthy and notable people, many of who have previously spoken up about their links to the financier.
Bill Gates is among those who has addressed his former ties to Epstein, telling CNN’s Anderson Cooper in 2021 that it was a 'huge mistake' to spend time with him.
Ahead of the release of the new batch of images, lawyers for Epstein's estate wrote a letter to the House Oversights Committee saying it could review videos and photographs they had requested which had been 'taken at any property owned, rented, operated, or used by Epstein from January 1, 1990 through August 10, 2019'.
Per CNN, the lawyers continued: "Like yesterday’s production, it also includes documents that may not be responsive, but that the Estate was unable to confirm whether they were taken at a property owned, rented, operated, or used by Epstein. The Estate has provided minimal redactions to these photographs; the redactions are limited to nudity."
One image featuring former President Clinton appears to have been signed with Clinton's name, and showed him smiling alongside Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as another couple.
Like Trump, Clinton has never been accused of any crimes in relation to Epstein.
According to Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, the new 19 photos are just a drop in the ocean of 'over 95,000 photos, including images of the wealthy and powerful men who spent time with Jeffrey Epstein' as well as 'thousands of photographs of women and Epstein properties'.
In a statement, Garcia said: "We will not rest until the American people get the truth. The Department of Justice must release all the files, NOW.”
