Images, undated and uncaptioned, include Vladimir Nabokov lines written on women and show Bill Gates and Noam Chomsky

Democrats on the House oversight committee have released a new batch of photos from the estate of convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, as the deadline for the justice department to release its files related to Epstein looms.

The images, released on Thursday, are undated and lack captions or context. Among them are photographs of what appear to be lines from Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita written on different parts of a woman’s body.

In a statement after the release Robert Garcia, a US representative and ranking member of the committee on oversight and government reform, said that “oversight Democrats will continue to release photographs and documents from the Epstein estate to provide transparency for the American people.”

“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 said.

    Some were particularly striking: a screenshot of a text conversation saying “I will send u girls now”, a person’s body with quotes from the novel Lolita scrawled across it, and a swathe of passports - names redacted - but belonging to women from Russia, Lithuania, Ukraine and more.
