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.

    First image: Google Co-founder Sergey Brin in the centre. To the right, New York Times Columnist David Brooks (who wrote about Epstein story being unimportant, and comparing it to QAnon). Left person I don’t know.

      Left person appears to be Bobby Kotick, former CEO of Activision Blizzard before it was acquired by Microsoft. He was accused of allowing widespread harassment at the various studios, though he sued for publishing those allegations.

      Edit: He was “outed” as being in Epstein’s black book six years ago, but I can’t find a reliable source. Just a reddit post and links back to it.
