More photos have been released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee as the deadline to release the Epstein files looms.
68 photos obtained from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein were released on Thursday (December 18), just one day before the Trump administration is required to release a larger group of files related to Epstein.
One photo shows a series of text messages from an unknown sender that refers to an 18-year-old woman from Russia.
The messages state redacted personal information for a person’s name, age and weight.

"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 read.
It is unclear who is involved in these message exchanges and the context behind it.
One photo released sees a female foot on a bed, nails painted in a dark color, and a line from the Russian author Vladimir Nabokov's novel Lolita inked on the inside of the foot.
"She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock," the line from Nabokov's Lolita reads.
There are several other body parts with Lolita quotes photographed.
Epstein is said to have kept a first edition copy of the novel in the office of his New York home, which is about a the sexual abuse of a 12-year-old girl.
Another photo sees Bill Gates posing for a photograph with an unknown woman whose face was redacted, while another snap is of a Ukrainian passport with a female notation. There are multiple redacted pictures of passports and national identity cards from all over the world.
A spokesperson for Gates has has continually denied that Epstein ever worked for him, and the Microsoft founder has previously expressed his regret at ever knowing Epstein.
"It was a huge mistake to spend time with him, to give him the credibility of being there," he told CNN in 2021.
Upon the latest release of details surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, Robert Garcia, a Democrat on the Oversight Committee, has said it will continue to make files public ahead of tomorrow's deadline 'to provide transparency for the American people'.
"Oversight Democrats will continue to release photographs and documents from the Epstein estate to provide transparency for the American people," Garcia said.
"As we approach the deadline for the Epstein Files Transparency Act, these new images raise more questions about what exactly the Department of Justice has in its possession," he added in a statement.
"We must end this White House cover-up, and the DOJ must release the Epstein files now."
